  Remember the smartest people still have problems in relationships.   Maybe you closed a chapter.        Maybe you closed a book.                            Maybe in the grand scheme of life, this was a book you started reading and it sucked but                          you tried your best to finish it anyway and it finally fell into the sink full of soapy water and                          now it's ruined and you're secretly relieved you don't have to read it and you hope it's no                     longer in print because if it shows up at your door (thanks Amazon) you'd be right back to                 ...
