Bob and Lucy, what you've both said is so right-on. I understand exactly where Lucy is coming from, as this echoes so profoundly my own experience. I would highly encourage anyone who's in an unhappy relationship to stop kidding themselves and end it sooner, rather than later, so you can get on with the business of LIFE. I keep forgetting that some people actually have happy marriages/relationships and that not all of us go into a cocoon for 20 years - I just hope the butterfly phase is worth the 20 year hibernation. I hope I'm not offending anyone or sounding too bitter - what's done is done, as far as I'm concerned and I think I appreciate life more now than I would have if I had dumped the bum a week after I met him. Probably sounds bizarre to some of you, but it works for me - so let's just leave it alone and party on! ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
