Incidents, or coincidence?
Somewhere in there, the tsunamis fade into wavelets, and he can breathe easy again. And then he discovers humour.

An old question from an unnamed source asks (sic) why things had to happen a certain way. I suspect, writing from the other side of the gender-fence (although er occasionally i appear to perch tenously on it) that I might have some of the answers.
I've been there. I've lived it.
- Why we don't levy ultimatums and hold our peace :
Some, (but not all) of us believe that change comes from within, and not without. It has to do with a warped sense of ethics. That if things are meant to be, she will change by herself (with a few gentle prods). She will. She will... right? maybe soon.
You see, forcing a change is unethical. It means that you changed her. And if she only changed for you, then she may have lost a piece of her. And that might make her less of the Her you fell for.
- Why we give up, and run into other women's arms
Guess it beats running into lamp-posts. I know why we give up - same as why women give up. Dunno about other women's arms. I suspect women do this too. With great frequency.
- Why do things have to get so rough in life, Is there no other way
Beats the hell outta me.

Reading on, he begins to think he understands the reason for the question.

Preparing to write, he pauses.
What is it about bears, anyhow.

People change
Older. check.
Wiser? uh. raincheck.
Heavier accent. check.
Stand straighter. check.
Paunch. Checks. Still nope. Bugger!
Happier. Checks. Check.
Funnier. Pause. Nope.
Better-looking. Pause. Nope. Bugger!
Greying hair. Pause. Nope. yay me!
Oh. And apparently have older eyes. (cough, wheeze. Gets out white cane.)
