I read an early posting from a fellow that had troubles
with relationships with his female significant others.
It reminded me why I am soooo happy to be single today.
My ex-wife use to call me a wimp and that I just simply
couldn't take a little headache like others could. Or maybe
she would just simply roll her eyes and sigh when I was going into
a cluster and trying to isolate myself.
To my own credit I must say she is alive and well with nary
a mark on her hide. It wasn't easy, but I didn't go to
her level.
There are things worse than sufferering by yourself. NOT MANY,
but there are some.
My young daughters, although frightened by my CH have
learned to deal with it and at times even console me.
I try not to ask for it as they've got plenty in their
lives to deal with too.
I'm very greatful for this site because I know no others
personally with this curse (I don't even know if I want
to call it a disease or condition, just doesn't seem to
quite fill the bill)
