When I knew someone was no good for me, I just walked away....no problem. I don't let my feelings get ahead of my logic......it's the point of using both your logical mind & your emotional mind & knowing not to let your emotional mind take control before your logical mind determines whether the relationship is good for you or not.....no need for war inside then.

I totally agree with Onward2Wards......expectations are Standards & standards that are realistic are GOOD & necessary or you wouldn't have any way of screening people who come into your life. No point in even allowing yourself to have any emotional connection with someone before you know they meet your standards & moral values.
