^ ditto, Mal and Rat.
Just last night, after a difficult talk with ktspktsp, I felt like shit for frustrating him... and he said "I'm nowhere near frustrated enough to give up on us." My response? "Sometimes I think you should be." (Luckily, he still hasn't taken me up on that offer, which I have repeated at least five times since we've been together.)
I am so damn cynical about relationships... I've seen too many go to shit, even when people involved had immense amounts of faith in the relationship. So I want to give up sometimes, before I get hurt like that, since it seems almost inevitable in my book. Self-fulfilling prophecies, anyone? (Good thing ktspktsp isn't a prophet.)
