I've never imagined that a guy can go through so much relational pain. One reason is because we probably think that the ladies are relationally stronger, and as a result feel in this area more too.

Though things aren't pit bottom now, I definitely am not looking forward to things deteriorating further from where they are.

There's a lot of things that I need to remember and keep in focus at the moment, things which are far more important. But frankly speaking, the deluge of pain is now proving to be a very good wall against these.
