Acquiescence

Okay. Someone has mentioned to me that they feel that my post on "behaviour morphing..." is a bit of a facade. Well. On closer examination I have to say they are wrong yet possess *some* insight. All I have said is true, but... as for feeling hurt at the end of a relationship... well. Hmmm... Alright. I may feel hurt very briefly. But I quickly remove myself from myself (disassociate would, perhaps, be a more appropriate description), calculate all the data and come out with what I have said in the aforementioned post. So... The hurt lasts such a small amount of time that it really *is* fair to say that, "I am not hurt." Now said person will now likely beg permission to remind me of my state of mind yesterday morning. Alright. Yes. I was actually sad. A rarity... ::sighs:: Fine... The growing cast of men who have bought me three dozen roses on Valentine's Day, many other delightful and unique gifts, PROPOSED and then... *disappeared* several days later *IS* beginning to wear on me. But that is like hearing the faucet drip for 24 hours... at first you can't even hear it and then - slowly... hour after hour it gets to be a bit much until finally you break down, go over and try to fix the damned thing. Yesterday the dripping faucet got to be... a tad vexing. It's fixed now. I would love it if it stayed that way...
