Yep, these guys are incapable of so many things. I suppose its most likely that admitting they were wrong might be one of those things. But it doesn't mean they don't feel it.
Look at my ex. He LOVED golf. He worshipped the game. He was in a league. Won the league tournament. Loved his group of guys. About 2 weeks after we split, the guys told me he threw his clubs right out on the greens. Said he couldn't golf anymore. Maggot came and picked him up (told the guys "she's just a friend"). They had trouble being nice to him after that. Next year he played a couple of tourneys. Maggot decided to learn the game - never let him golf without her. Shortly after he gave up the game. Said he couldn't afford it. I sincerely don't think he enjoyed playing the game with an amateur. She wasn't secure enough to let him do anything without her.
If I spend too much time with any one person, they start to get on my nerves. Maybe I'm just too independent. Josh is a nice man. I enjoy his company. But in truth - after 24 hours, we are both ready to go back home. I love him - but I can live without him. H never escapes his prison. Maybe it was paradise once. Maybe it still is but I just know that besides the few people he sees at work, occasional visits with a brother or 2 - he has no one besides her. That has to get to you.
