OT: The reason I left....
Recently, I have been in several discussions with friends about the reasons why relationships end. I think as father's day approaches, it gets many people thinking about core relationships in their lives. When those relationships fail, without healthy intervention more times than not, it leads to self medicating and for us, that means turning to food as at least one of our drugs of choice.
For me, I am amazed at the lack of attention most people give to their relationships with people they say they care about and the reasons they attribute to it, at least to me, all sound the same no matter what diatribe they spin. The point is, their not in the game. The importance in paying attention and making concerted effort to maintain a healthy relationship is paramont. If we were to keep a new born baby fed, clothed, clean and comfortable, but did not hold it, nurture it and show it love, it would either be mentally deficient or it would die and we would be help legally responsible for it. Why do we think we can neglect our loved ones and expect the relationship to stay efficient or not to die? My thoughts are this: the reason I left is the reason you didn't see me go. You weren't paying attention.

"the reason I left is the reason you didn't see me go"
I love that, and I agree with you 100%, if one party in the relationship looses interest and neglects the other then that relationship may be in some serious trouble and if it is not tended to it will die.
I make sure daily that I take care and put in the effort needed to keep my honey bunny happy.
Ok, that's enough i'm getting annoying, I know, WHATEVER DAMIT !!!

Not annoying AT ALL!! I LOVE IT!!! You are totally correct. You and Becca keep each other at the top of the list and you make the effort everyday in meeting each others needs. To me, it works like this..if I am all about meeting my partners needs and my partners is all about meeting my needs..guess what...everybody's needs get met! Relationships need attention and nurturing. I hate when someone "suddenly" realizes I'm not in their lives anymore and then ask me that question..."where have you been"? ...how 'bout GONE! SMDH!!
