Ratbastid, that is such a funny phrase but so many of us do it!
Well my friend, I'm sorry for your situation. Perhaps if you gave us more specifics on what exactly you did to shoot yourself in the foot multiple times (that's a lot of times), we could help you a bit more. When do you stop...it depends on how seriously you've maimed yourself, and how much you like the person, and also how badly you've damaged the relationship that existed to start with.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
