Neder (On back order, it's so popular) #1 is for singles who need to know the "dating" rules but mostly is for a married person trying to fix their marriage) #2 Is for "door mats" #3 is of course for building self-esteem #4 is for understanding how to act like a man with a woman I am not normally a book worm but given how brokenhearted I am, I NEVER want to feel this way again and I know I contributed a lot to the demise of my relationship. So, reading these books has really, and I mean REALLY (along with Therapy) understand why I did what I did and has given me the basis for fixing my issues so I do not repeat the same mistakes. funny confused, that is exactly all of the things i am doing... so far therapy has helped a lot... i'm also reading men are from mars, women are from venus (on dating)... good read.

miss-gonewest Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest Damn that was good advice! I should print that out and stick it on my fridge... Or give me your number and I'll call YOU everytime I feel like calling the ex!!! Just kidding, that was very well said. Thanks. Brother Aaron thanks heaps again... I really did print this out and stick it on my fridge at home, and it helps...it makes PERFECT sense. I glance at it, then I re-read it again and then I feel strong & empowered again. Better than caffeine I say! To Beth and anyone else struggling with the NC thing or the closure thing, I suggest having another read of BA's post - it gave me strength and I hope it does you too.
