I particularly loved the day my h sat me down and with great sincerity told me that I needed to stop being in denial and come to terms with the fact that we have too many incompatibilities and always had. He told me that while he and OW are perfect matches for each other, I need to accept that I am too smart, too deep, too clean (his hygiene got funky after BD), and too healthy, and that I like to read and connect with people. I asked him if he was criticizing me or helping me write a future dating ad? He just looked at me and said, "I feel bad for you that you cannot accept these truths." I calmly, and with all sincerity, thanked him for explaining all of this to me and acknowledged his perfect compatibility with a dumb, shallow, dirty, unhealthy person who cannot connect with people. He just nodded in appreciation that I
finally understood.

P.S. Anyone else notice that the forum's spell check tries to replace the term "MLCer" with Ulcer? How apropos.
