I am encouraging everyone to read Milton's previous posts, if you haven't already, and based on the , give candid feedback. Most of you have already done it once, twice, three times or more (thanks Sheri). Milton has been there for all of us, it's time for an "Internet Intervention."


Milton,

Please understand that I'm risking my integrity posting this. I've read so many of your posts, and you've been so supportive of everyone, so strong, so steadfast, yet so honest, that it's hard not to respond to your sudden, and self-destructive change of heart. I am understanding that you are confused. HE is confusing you.

Everyone has told you what they think about this situation. You've gotten so many responses with your recent posts. THAT should indicate something. We are here to support you no matter what. But, girl, LISTEN TO US!! I am sitting here in Oregon just cringing for you. He WILL hurt you again. But what will it be next time?? What is it that will turn him into an as3hole? The flu? Another bout with cervical cancer? Hmmmm...it would be interesting to see you turn to that jackass you once turned to, and not the least bit surprising if he...oh, don't say it...turned his back on you. What say you, counselor? Don't tell me you think he'd be there right by your side holding your little hand. Puh-leese.

Besides, Milton. He's a chimney. It's clear to me, if he doesn't care about taking care of his own body, how could he possibly care about yours? Martyrdom? Again, Puh-leese!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If you move any further with this, YOU ARE PUTTING THE NAILS IN YOUR COFFIN. Stop with the contact NOW. Think about it in a year...maybe longer. Don't delude yourself into thinking he's worth it.

As much as I would like to write the rest of my thoughts, everyone has already done so, and hopefully will again here. I am so emotional about this, about watching someone lock their own gas chamber. Stop it! Your instinct (that's your brain, you know) is telling you that something is wrong. Well, your instinct is right! Trust it.

I will support you whatever you do.

Thanks, Monty, I needed that. No more contact. It's hard, but no more. I was, actually, thinking hard on my commute home, and realizing that, damn it, he *still* hasn't apologized for a thing. I just wish things were different, and got carried away for a bit.

This discussion has been closed to allow the board to get back on track discussing the issues of breaking up rather than the person.
