Yeah, I feel you man. In my case it was three little words that destroyed my relationship with her - "I love you", LOL.

Ah, I can imagine how prison must really suck, never good in any scenario. But, at least it's over. I would rather sit and fill in a hundred boring forms than to go and sit there.

I hope your claims come through for you, all the best with that bro.

Yeah, I know all this stuff that happened causes damage in one's life, but I have discovered that it's more damaging to try and fix things when there is not a will (not from my side though) for them to be fixed. People say where there is a will there is a way, but, by the same token where there is a will for there to be no way, then there will be no way, and that lies with the women in both our cases unfortunately. The best thing to do for your own sanity is to leave it at that and find ways of changing your own life. Things vastly improved for me when I distanced myself from any contact with that girl whatsoever. You can't work with someone who doesn't want to work with you, that's what I learnt basically, and at some point, you just have to leave them. And, what it also says to me is, she has just as many issues or even more than what I have. Someone who doesn't want to be loved, whether they want to accept it or not, has a serious problem. At least I accept and admit to mine, and try to deal with them, they live in denial and one day, it will hit them like a ton of bricks.
