Its been a little over a year since I posted this. I have to say that things are much better now. I've figured out my priorities. Some might say that I've become a workaholic, I think I just found that its much easier to stay busy than to deal with any type of relationship. Besides, working 7 days a week at 14+ hours a day isn't so bad, I don't have to go home to an empty house. I found a family that would take my dog, so he is happy now too.
