Eclipso, I could have told you this a week ago but you wouldn' t have listened anyway. Perhaps you' re ready now. Whether or not trust can ever be restored depends on how badly it was damaged, and how much the spurned person feels betrayed. More often than not the burned person just wants to cut their losses and end the relationship, and who could blame them?
It simply can’ t go back to the way it once was, no matter how much you may want it to. Don' t play it out to the bitter end. I told you before that whatever criticism is applied to another person' s actions, it should be applied to your own as well. In the Signature Forum, you made it clear that some people' s input was not wanted nor appreciated. Now allow him/them the same.
Bow out graciously, because as you can see, you' re only adding fuel to the flames.
