Well, here it goes...EDIT: back to being just friends...

I don't understand why you take shots at each other in the first place?

Youll be fine!!

That's what happens in a fight. There are verbal shots thrown. Not physical necessarily.

Here's the thing. As I said before, it wasn't just one sided. I gave as good as I took. Not the best thing in the world to do, I'll admit. But, this was our worst fight. It was to be expected. I've told her not to expect me to just take it. Every shot she takes at me, will result in one back and she knows that.

this isnt the description of a healthy relationship. i cant see how this will go anywhere. i think the best thing is to move on and prevent any more emotional upsets here

Jeremy we care for you a lot. Helen is dead on here buddy. You now I will always shoot straight with you and this is the best advice I have seen through this whole thread. IMO, you deserve better. However, you must also do what you are most comfortable with for yourself.

The BEST advice in the whole topic thus far? I think we've all helped alot frankly.

Eric - I think David might have also been trying to find one short, to the point answer and Helen gave it. Perfectly.

"this isnt the description of a healthy relationship"

I don't think I could have said it better myself. We're all trying to get thru to Jeremy and it's downright impossible. Maybe Helen can? As David pointed out. Just trying to say I didn't take David's reply the way you did. He sifted thru all of the useful suggestions we all gave and saw Helen's post. It probably jumped right out at him too.

It's no longer worth it. No longer worth the effort. No longer WORTH the heartbreak! I can't take it anymore, I was set for failure, I knew it and I had to be hard headed! Now I know I am worthless. I am so daggone mad at myself. I should have listened to my inner voice!

NO YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS!!! Just because one makes a bad judgement or some sort of mistake doesn't make them worhtless. We all need to learn from our mistakes and move on. Sometimes it takes making the same type of mistake more than once(I speak from years of experience!!!)for us to get it. And yes, the inner voice is most often the right answer.

Eric, Mary was right on in her analysis of my earlier response.

Yes, I realize that...sorry for my misunderstanding earlier this morning.

As I said before, the highest highs and the lowest lows - you need to take a break from that ride. You're going to make yourself sick. Did you ever hear the song "addicted to love"?

I have heard that one, actually. I think that's me.

Now, I'm REALLY HOT about something, COMPLETELY UNRELATED! I'll post that in a separate thread though!
