CC... "Is there any hope?"

Of course. As long as it's the defenses that do the bumping first. Hope is always there, but, for most of the walking wounded, there's not much time left. Shite !!! I'm just a philosophizing fool here this AM. Must write some of these down before I forget them.

Yes, men and women are both subject to these results. However, I believe men are much more romantic by nature, thereby more easily duped, and tend to get cut deeper by betrayal. Kinda like how a dog is loyal even when beaten... until it snaps and will bite anyone. Still, you can only poke the dragon so many times before you get burnt. GEEZE, I gotta start a file ! Where are they coming from ? Must be the combination of tea and snow shovelling early in the AM.
