point Larry, point.

As my father told me once, whoever "needs" the other person more,
runs the relationship.  I still feel, however, that if someone
comes to me and says, "I feel we should only be friends", that hurts me
ONLY if my self-image is based on how that person feels about me.
If I know I am a good person, well, I'm regretful and somewhat unhappy
because I wanted to be closer than that to the person, but my feelings
about myself haven't changed.  Maybe our definitions of a "rough
breakup" are different. Maybe a better statement would have been,
"I can't KEEP the break up from being rough if someone has been
dishonest or real nasty."
