“had to be cognizant of the fact that I was desperately trying to replace my wife with the first nice woman I met, the first truly pleasant gal who tried to reciprocate and make me happy. This realization led me to conclude that if I moved too fast due to my desperation, that I would very possibly really hurt my new friend when it all inevitably came to an ignoble end. It is easy to lie to yourself, and to her, as you try to force an outcome driven by an emotionally distraught state of mind.”

“follows: I will always treat you with respect I will ask you to suggest our early meeting places, where you feel safe. I will never make suggestive remarks to you (at least not until you want me to). If we get there, YOU, not I, will decide when we can advance in our relationship. I understand that building relationships can take time, even when there is that early spark.”

“For men, shutting out your friends and family is often preferred over facing one’s emotions, confronting one’s anger, and appearing vulnerable in front of those you most rely upon for respect and self-image. A painful, but valuable discovery, for me and many other men, is that to be vulnerable in front of others is a sign of strength.”
