The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

There is a lot to be said for being the one who is loved more, as opposed to the one who loves the most in a relationship, even a pretend one like I have with The Ex. There is always an imbalance. Sometimes it shifts, but there is always one person more committed, or more obssessed, who wants more than the other person can or is willing to give. I don't believe it is most likely to be the woman, either. We are more likely to hand over our hearts multiple times, while a man will let a woman crush him only once before he learns his lesson. (Mind you, these are meant to be very general statments.) I know more than one man who cannot let go once a woman has gotten him "hooked." And I have always been in awe of the woman who can make every man they get involved with fall in love. The leave-your-wife, ignore-your-friends, obsessive, change-my-whole-existence, can't-survive-without-your-love, Angelina-Jolie mojo.

I am the type who can walk away from a relationship. Once I make the decision to be finished with it, I am. No looking back. Two years later, I looked back. The view hasn't changed one bit.
