[QUOTE="tropicaldaze1950, post: 196806, member: 13651"] There's a site called shrink4men.com run by a female clinical psychologist, Tara Palmitier. What I came to learn from reading so many of her posts and the stories of men on the site forum is that I'm a rescuer. I've been that way since I was a teenager and either I dated women who were more messed up than me or I tried to help them, screwing myself in the process, then they found someone else. Regarding women, I've been a schmuck. I'd get hung up on someone to the point that I became an emotional wreck instead of saying 'fuck it' and go have some fun. That's the way I was with my now wife when we started dating. We broke up many times and I'd go back to her because I felt sorry for her since she seemed so lost and helpless. As I said, I'm a schmuck. I've learned hard, painful lessons about myself and about relationships. Doubt if those lessons will help me now. Too late, unless she throws me out or she pushes me too far and I walk out. All I can do, now, is share what I've learned. [/QUOTE]
