[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 641619, member: 17461"] It does. But the truth is that her response changes nothing for you. Love her, anyway. Maybe that is the thing she needs most. Not to win. Not this time, and not this way. Hold faith with yourself and with her, and with what you know to be true. Here is a quote for you, about faith. There was a time not so long ago when everything in my life seemed to conspire to destroy my faith. I took this quote away from the bottom of my posts when that happened. I think I will put it back, now. This thread has been so helpful to me.... :O) Here it is: "Faith is not, contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out right or wrong, like a gambler's bet. It is an act, an intention, a project; something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of Time and right into Eternity, which is not the end of time or unending Time, but timelessness, that old, Eternal Now." Russ Another: "Be old enough and patient enough for kinds of love, seasons of it; be quiet in your soul so that when happiness comes again, if it ever does, you will know." Anne Rice Another: "Love is not a victory march. It's a cold and it's a broken halleluiah." Leonard Cohen And the last: "Don't give control of your emotions over to anyone or anything outside yourself." I don't know who wrote that. Wishing you well and strong and happy again. I am glad you are here with us. And boy, I'm really glad I am here with us. These kinds of cuttings off have been happening to me forever. I thought it was me. Who knew? Cedar [/QUOTE]
