So how could I ever expect someone who recognizes that to do the same thing for me? Only a person in love with you would do this: He would not allow you to compromise in the first place, as you would not allow him as well. As for why the leaving partner makes their mind up without clarifying: They cant clarify it, not in a manner which makes sense. It would likely destroy their altruistic self. We all must believe we are inherently good, regardless the consequences. Many paths we can chose, but we chose one regardless we think it through or not.

The heart of the matter is that for whatever reason, you chose not to stay and work it out, and I'm still trying to figure out why. The statement, in any context, doesn’t matter.

Did I do everything possible? No. We are BOTH guilty of that. We both have things about ourselves that we are unable to change and that is not necessarily a good attribute to have. Do I expect a marriage or relationship to be happy go lucky all the time, no way. I am not trying to place blame or point a finger. I can respect your thoughts, but the basis of it was taken out of context and not what was said.

Sorry, just could not resist! Apologies - not trying to make light of a crap situation, but that line just jumped out at me. …but if you’re miserable while you’re doing them…
