All I'm saying is it seems we are to quick to beat ourselves up over the "end of a relationship." Additionally, we hesitate to end relationships (particularly men who view failure as a loss of masculinity) when we insist on viewing endings this way.
The only person that has "failed" in a relationship is the person that tells himself/herself they have failed?
Well, not exactly. You have a social choir of others whose judgements you're gonna need to overcome is you're gonna believe that despite the end of a relationship, YOU are still a SUCCESS.
In fact, being able to maintain this mindset (DUKE LISTENING?) will make you all the more attractive, and increase the liklyhood you your being able to "move on."
I sure do hope I remenber all this when I need it one day! :roll:
