You hit her? WTF for? Man, if you can't control your anger, then you have no hope in ever keeping a relationship. My old lady can beat me with a ball bat and I'd never hit her. You did the right thing by making her leave, however, she can now press charges against you for assult, which you rightfully deserve. Now I ask you, can you ever take that slap back? Is there any chance she will feel totally secure with you? I doubt it. You just permanently ended that relationship. I hope that's something you can live with. You'd better hope you one day find someone who will make you forget your girlfriend, because if you can't, you're gonna be one lonely dude.

I was reluctant to post this, but it's time you've read this little poem.

If...
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!


Best of luck to you,

GM
