Thanks to both of you above for reading my post on this sad situation.

Yes, I had hopes that got dashed. I'm not sorry that I tried. I'm just sorry it couldn't have worked out better. It is sad that our last words to each other were in anger. I feel bad that I lost my temper. It seems that if a relationship doesn't involve trying on the part of both people, then all that one person tries to do can not really come to anything. I guess time will heal the wound. It has before.
