- Have either of you considered that *people* get what they get from
- relationships based on who and what they are and why and how they conduct
- themselves? And that relationships with similar outcomes in a person's life
- do not indicate that *all* members of their preferred sex are this way or that
- way?
-
- If you have endured a set of similar relationships, consider the only real
- common denominator in each situation. (Hint: Mirror mirror on the
- wall ...)

- People see only what they want to see. When you are emersed in a situation,
- it's near impossible to step away from it to see the whole picture. It's
- like trying to examine an oil painting with your nose pressed up against it.

-
- I have to agree.
