My prescription: write out a list of all the things that were imperfect about her, and be happy she's gone. If you can't find anything to put on the list: grovel.

"My prescription: write out a list of all the things that were imperfect about her."

My father taught me that in making a decision to take a large legal pad, draw a line down the center of it, and list the plusses in one column, and the minuses in the other.

Years later I came home one day to see true-love had just started two columns having only gotten as far as my name on one column and hers on the other. I knew I was cooked.
