Hi Shattered,

Oh boy, does all that sound familiar! Mine complained that my 'deaf ear irritated him because he had to repeat himself'!

After our first (and last) Relate session he spent half an hour listing the things about me he thought were cr*p. Now, I now we're not supposed to take it personally, but I find it impossible not to take personal comments personally. Especially from someone who supposedly liked me, at some point. And I tried telling myself he was sick, but that didn't work for me either. I finally realised that every time I talked to him I got hurt. So I stopped talking to him. That works for me!

"I am such a logica, fix-it, problem solving kind of girl and not being able to make that work here is so frustrating." Yes, i completely understand. I'm a natural born problem solver too, so despite being told 'You can't fix him' I had to at least try everything I could until my problem-solving drive was satisfied I'd exhausted all the possibilities.

Einstein said; 'The definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result'.
