Dear HippieChick:

You are welcome. I agree with you completely: it is not easy, but heck, the price of not doing it is misery, the ending of a good relationship that took time to build. So resist this Urge- it is like an itch that needs to be scratched- temporary relief but then redness and bleeding. Better put aloe Vera on it- that would be something like taking a walk or a hot bath when the urge strikes hard. And you will feel better after the walk or hot bath.

Oh, and it does get easier. Give it few good months of resisting before you expect it to get easier.
