		<description>It certainly takes great maturity and strength to be honest and open with  a lover. The fear of hurting them or disappointing them can over-ride the reality that deceitfulness will ultimately ruin the relationship. I grapple with this each time I need to broach a difficult subject with my master and it is only because I have made a vow and commitment to be honest with him that I am driven to express what I might prefer to keep hidden.</description>

		<description>The worst that ever happened to me was when the woman I&#039;d lived with for five years - had moved from San Francisco to North Carolina with - called me at work to say that she was living town with a mutual friend.</description>

		<description>This has happened to me in vanilla relationships (in an early, not advanced stage) and it&#039;s pretty painful.  One woman suddenly just got too &quot;busy&quot; for anything.  A guy stood me up and disappeared from IM clients, later reappearing to let me know he just wasn&#039;t interested in something &quot;serious&quot; (which I have never given any hint of suggesting).  

I&#039;ve awkwardly or painfully broken off things in early stages, but never by disappearing, as far as I can recall.

Hmm.  There is one exception, but it&#039;s not really in this domain, and it&#039;s too shameful for me to describe.</description>
