    Thanks, peeps.

    *sigh* yeah, I checked it out, and while I'll leave the diagnosing to the professionals, a lot did ring true.

    Part of what has been making this difficult is this persons tendency to downplay and redefine what was said and written, and why, at a later point. Or at best blame being "a bit too spontaneous". But I'm done trying to guess what was "really" meant. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and when I get hit in the face with it - it feels like a duck - it doesn't really matter if the person wielding it insists that it's just a cute little duckling...

    Stay strong LPH. It will be better for both of you. Just keep to the well-defined boundaries you've laid out for your relationship (or lack of).

    I would set my email to automatically trash any correspondence from that person. Nobody needs to have the life sucked out of them.

    I did that with someone. Works like a charm.

    Oh ick. Sounds like a real PITA.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    This might be very ill-advised but,

    Dear boyfriend, go sod yourself. First you try to shunt me off with this group when you rode with another. Now you say I have to be able to ride 40km in 1 hour and 14 minutes before I can ride with this group because you're riding with them or I must go join the other group? Seriously, who died and made you god?
