Quotes to ponder:

"Often times a man will leave a woman because he sees that she depends too much on him and has lost her own sources of happiness."

"When a man doesn't FEEL that deep level of connection with a woman, at least every so often to remind him of why he's with her, then he'll forget why - and the relationship will become just a whole bunch of 'work' to him."

"People are motivated by the things THEY WANT, and not what others feel and want."
