if you take him back you are admitting to yourself that you do not deserve to be treated better..... that you are willing to settle for this lousy treatment and this is the best you can do....on the other hand.....make a clean break from this person.....take this difficult situation and go through it.....don't try to go around it or avoid it or delay or postpone it....be sad....be lonely be upset.....but work through it and when the dust clears you will be a stronger person for it and ready to open your heart to someone more deserving of all the love and affection you have to give.....beechwood
