Minxie, I had to walk away from the bloke who I like quite a bit. Everyone says how you shouldn't try and change your partner. But what happens when he doesn't even know what he is doing wrong. I waited and hoped but the epiphany never struck so I had to stand back and decide whether I could put up with it for any longer and I just didn't think I could. I regret it and miss him terribly, keep starring at his name on MSN and can't bring myself to deleting it, hoping he would call, say sorry, but I know he won't because it's one thing that he just doesn't do. I can't tell you what to do. I have seen you pretty unhappy in here before and it really struck a cord coz you were one of the first people I talked to in here. Still one day you'll decide yourself on what to do and once you do you'd feel stronger for it and be ok. Good luck.
