The end nears
Why is it that this is such a big deal to you? You know, in every crisis there is an opportunity to grow, if you have to eye to see. How much more punishment will you take? Now, it occurred to you that it is easier to destroy than to create, and, in fact, destruction makes space for inspiration and the planning of a bolder, newer, more innovative approach. She's taken the role of the destroyer and no matter how much energy you spend on trying to build a complex castle of sand, all she has to do, in order to succeed, is to brush it off with a swift of hand. This is your life; yours to live, and the more you insist on the same method of "goodness" and frankness and reconciliation and vacillation, the more weak and the less effective you are in turn. Try to do good but not just for others; instead, be selfish, go out, make out with a complete stranger and money in time will be of no consequence. There will be plenty to go around, and perhaps it is for the best. Your time, essential for every relationship, to act has passed you. You've inflicted enough pain in her and a few good deeds will not affect the outcome. Grow, admit like the man you are, that you will not spend a single second more of your youth and energy into this glorious mess. Stop playing the victim and expecting to get something in return. Be more proactive and less dependent. Don't be a kid; be a man. Don't play along to the tune of her mad siren; find the strength that lies deep within and the strings of that internal melody that flows so freely inside will reverberate and echo through time. In one single move you can erase eons of flaws. The minute this change, like a revolution, grows in you, everyone will see it and no one will be able to deny it. Women can perceive a man's shifting of attitude in the slightest, most subtle way. It's a mechanism they're born with; they know when their man is in their grips and when he is no longer under her command. And they yearn for a dominant, self-centered, confident male.
