I sometimes wish we could just have an operation to cut out that part of us that suffers ... but as you say, we wouldn't grow so much. Still, the temptation to avoid it is strong!

I love the part you wrote about controlling your own destiny. I believe it is so true. Mon was so right when she said, "it's all in your head". Thanks for the excellent post.

Slave to the objects of affection was an eye opener for me! How very poignant! You are really hung up on this guy! Not healthy! sam

Dear One
Sit down with a sheet of paper and write all the things you can do. all the positive things such as your ability to write, etc. do not back out, take credit for what you can do, who you are and stop looking at anybody to supply your value, support your shattered ego, just look up and accept the gifts God has given you and be about life in them until the Lord puts someone in your path that is worth sharing all your good. God bless you dear lady!

Make sure that you really love yourself first...
and never place 100% of your own self-worth in another person ... it's a recipe for disaster ... I know ...

The words clingy and dependent cross my mind as I read this...
As human nature works, if you'd cared less he might have wanted more time with you. He was not good for you.

It seems he was trying to let you down easy, which is usually much harder to take, and makes for all sorts of false assumptions. He'd have been smarter to just cut ties, but maybe he really was worried about the way you would or could handle it, especially if he suspected you felt what you are describing in your posts. Like the quote!
