“What’s unfortunate about these situations is the damage that’s done not only to the other person in terms of the potential assault on their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth but also to ourselves in terms of how others perceive us and whether or not they want to continue a relationship with us.”

How true. In fact, we often hurt ourselves more than the other party.

Laurie: Agreed. Sad but true.
Thanks for coming by, Roger!
