Lex I wasn't implying anything of the sort...I'm sorry if I didn't convey it properly...sometimes it's difficult for me to say on here what I mean, or it's taken out of context by the way I write it I suppose..

Anyway, yes your right about trying it over and over again and getting the same results...we hope that things / people / situations will change for the better...I believe it is human nature...I just meant that for me I am incapable to give to another that of which I don't have to give...I'm the "insane" one here..lol...I retreat into my shell for protection and it works for me...
You haven't done anything wrong but simply tried your best and hoped that things would change and work out...You are by far more sensitive than I, I choose not to get involve in a relationship, and thus far have kept that promise to myself...
I only want you to be happy and wish you the very best...

Moody -- Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that you had implied anything. My writing is way below par today, not nearly clear and concise enough for my "usual standards," and I apologize. It's been a rough day.

Just trying to explain why I feel it would be nothing short of insanity for me to keep trying this anymore. We're brought up to believe "a winner never quits," but the reality is that sometimes quitting makes more sense than continuing....like leaving a bad job, or a bad marriage....a lot of times, it's just insanity to go on pounding your head against a wall for an extra (and unnecessary) five years....
