And there goes the myth that men are only those who just "poof" !!! *chuckles* Personally,i dont start something i cant finish.But there are moments that either is going wrong or its too boring.And even if you try desperately to ...light up the spark again,it just doesnt happen.Then its better to say something and leave.I think that the partner (hoping that is not too stupid) will understand that. PS The first sentence of my post...is not entirely wrong though...its mostly men who disappear-but there are a lot of women who just say "thanks hun,got to do laundry" haha
