Thank you Hitch, for your respect.
And as far as the way I've been treating him, I think that's a good question. The answer is I've treated him good. And you're right, I've reached a point where I "simply can't take any of this any longer." If by chance he has a change of heart, and shows it, perhaps I'll be willing to at least consider talking things over. For we cant turn feelings off like a faucet, at least Im unable to.
Again, thank you.
