I am tired of this concerted diatribe.

Yes, I am selfish and horrible and mean :) Oh, and I don't know how to 'love' the way you do :) Please teach me!

One thing I know is that I am a tough cookie and your comments do not bother me at all... Other than being an utter waste of my time.

I am out of this.

This is me Phd_girl. Some thing happened and I lost my password and don't even remember which email it was registered on.

Anyways. This response is ESPECIALLY for Megara.

You obviously have your own understanding of what love is or could be. But at the same time, so do I. And how we handle love will definitely differ. But it doesn't mean that either one of us is absolutely right or more correct than the other in their approach to dealing with love. Which is something you are implying.

If you allow yourself to be completely subsumed under emotional failings, adultery and love related issues. That's you. This doesn't mean that the kind of love you have experience is higher or better than the one I have. The way I see it is that the kind of love you have allowed yourself is unhealthy.

I have been in love. REALLY in love. And I HAVE BEEN CHEATED ON and emotionally abused. But let me tell you that I love myself much more than to drown myself in worthless sorrows, especially for this long.

Finally, this is my opinion and this is how I see it. You are misguided for thinking you could tell me my opinions are misguided and should be kept to myself. I will continue to have and share my opinion even if you don't like the sound of it. That's something you need to sort with yourself.

Have a good day.
