Mark,

Thank you for your reply. I completely agree! In the past, I have been able to bounce back from much more ‘difficult’ situations than this, and truth be told this has unleashed some demons that I had locked up for a long time! That is probably the reason why this situation has consumed me. I plan on spending my time tackling my own demons and healing myself from this day forward.

Thank you! 🙂

Anita,

That makes so much sense! I never even thought of it that way. That would definitely explain why he generalised so much! Thank you for your valuable insight. I never did find out why his last relationship ended so badly, perhaps that is what has shaped his view of women?
