Doc,

She likes the attention. She's not taking YOUR feelings into consideration. She's having fun. Have you ever seen a cat bat a mouse around before killing it?

This is going to happen to you over and over again until you're so sick of it you won't be able to help but do something about it. It's the only way you'll get out of this hole you're in. Print this thread out. Someday, hopefully, when your head has emerged from wherever it is right now, you're going to read this and want to shoot yourself in the head.

I don't think Doc realizes that the only way a lot of us can relate to this thread or give advice about it is because we've been there and been through enough of this crap ourselves that we wouldn't wish it on anyone else. We can comment on the mistakes because we've done them all! Well, not all of us perhaps, but few people haven't traumatized themselves by barking up the wrong emotional and/or pussy tree to an absurdity beyond all reason.

It's not that we're mean. We just hate seeing a repeat of such a miserable story. Most of us can remember our own blunders all too clearly.

I agree that this can become a lifestyle, too, and be hard to snap out of. You have to be sick of it, or you'll wind up perpetuating it, girl after girl.
