Don't you love it when your girlfriend tells you that she has never
thought of cheating on you?  That made me feel about as good as when her
aunt told her that I am handsome.

After a few events recently (one where I hurt terribly when I had hurt
her, and the other exactly reverse) have helped me realise just how much
Melissa and I care for each other.  Even if I doubted the sincerity of
her statement, I have to realise that she would, in effect, be hurting
herself if she cheated on me.

After having written this, I have been sitting here for about 10 minutes
trying to figure out what it has to do with romance.  Well, I'm not
certain.  I just wanted to say something.  Thanks for listening/reading,
whatever your particular situation might be.

Maybe I date all the wrong guys, but I've never ripped out a guy's heart
in order to feed it to the cat.  I've had the exact opposite experience,
in fact.  The exact opposite.  So, I don't really think it is fair to 
put the burden of guilt on women alone.  A man can break a woman's heart
just as easily as a woman can break a man's heart.  I don't think I've
ever broken up with a guy, although guys have broken up with me.  

What proves what kind of a person you are, though, is how you go about it.
One guy "ripped out my heart and fed it to the cat" whereas the other two
guys are still my friends.

  dear LIS,

  I agree that a woman has to be strong, i just wanted to see what people
  would say.

  Be strong
  and be strong enough to let people who know you help you 

  this is often times the hardest test of strength that you must display
  because not only do you have to totally honest with the person that
  is helping you but, too, you must be honest with someone that may halp 
  you even more

 The answer is 41.  Seriously, I think a good approach is to work out a few
of your own REALLY 'off the wall' lines.  Ones like...

 Well, that's only if you're as crazy as I am. :&)

 But, the point is to make something original up, perhaps about her appearance

Equality straight across the board, hmmm? You know, once upon a time not
so long ago, there *are* places where equality is guaranteed. Man and 
woman, young or old. They are equal. Equality in *misery and poverty*.

Woah! I think a better point would be that both are good. What's better depends
on your point of view or who your in love with or having sex with.

Men have to be strong, women have to be strong... Humans have to be strong!
All I want to add is this:  I firmly believe that as human beings it's      
important for us to have at least one person we can really talk to, a friend
that is just that -- a friend.  Emotional health is as important as physical
health... keeping something inside isn't healthy... talking about your 
problems to a friend isn't a sign of weakness.

Maybe not.  In fact I doubt it.  I think that unless you have been in
this guys position and done the things he had done you have no right
to judge him.  I wonder how many of us out there would have gone to
Nam if our numbers came up...  How many of us would skip off to
Canada, or some other place that would except us.  Myself I have very
mixed feelings about this.  I came into the Marine Corps well after
this period of time, and never saw any 'action' during my time.  The
closest I came was in Korea and a N.Korean pilot defected and flew his
MIG over Seoul.

Anyway, I think we are coming down way to hard on this guy without
knowing where he is coming from.
