Texas hold... let 'em go.

Regarding my relationship.

Or end of relationship. My best friend summed it up like this- "You went all in. And you lost."

That's exactly how it went. Except for one small thing. This whole time, I thought we were playing on a team. Together. Now I know it was exactly the opposite.

When you bet everything you have, and lose it all, the very worst thing someone can do is ask if you want to play another hand. They don't even realize you have nothing left. They've taken everything, and still assume you're going to come up with more to throw in. You've been holding on for so long, one more hand, and another, and another. And after awhile they don't think you'll ever give up. That's when people start taking advantage. They can't believe it when you finally walk away.

Here's the thing about gambling. You never know who's going to hustle you. You just hope it's not the person you love.
