panzer6 Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 In case any of you are wondering my avatar is a German Jagdtiger. In english it means Hunting Tiger. It was designed as a heavy tank destroyer. It was equipped witha 128mm main gun that could knock out the best Allied tanks at a range of over 4 and a half kilometers and to the best of my knowledge there is no record of it's frontal armour ever being penetrated. I chose it because I feel that is how we must see ourselves in this forum. We must be brutally strong when it comes to our hearts and our feelings. Too many of us have been used and abused by horrible people. It breaks my heart to read your stories about people doing horrible things to you. I wish there was some way I could make it better for all of you, but I can't. This forum has been very helpful to me and I want to thank each and everyone of you who has responded to my threads. Without you guys I think I might have literally fallen apart. My ex is toxic, I see that very clearly now. I deleted her number from my phone and I will not answer her calls anymore. I don't care how much she is hurting I will not be a bandaid for her anymore. Thanks guys, you are all awsome. Remember, be strong, do what is best for you when it comes to your heart !

Author panzer6 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 128mm refers to the bore size of the main gun. The muzzle velocity was approximately 3000 feet per second. Basically speaking, if the gunner could see the target he could usually kill it. The weight of the projectile was around 65lbs. 65lb armour piercing round moving at 3000 feet per second allowed a flat trajectory to the target. The kinetic force of this weapon was nothing less than awe inspiring. Not bad for around five inches. LOL !
Author panzer6 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Posted April 29, 2007 Hey Pricillia, whats the alternative to being strong? I am entirely open to love and friendship but I will not tolerate abuse anymore. At the first sign of it I will pull the plug. No more lingering relationships full of what ifs and maybes. My time and my feelings are very precious to me. I have learned that there are only a few good people who deserve my affection and attention. I have met too many emotional vampires in my life and I will not waste my time with them anymore. I know I sound hard but all I really want is to love and be loved, nothing more. I don't treat people badly, I treat them with respect and honesty. What more can I do? It has only gotten me grief and emotional distress, and I can't endure it anymore. I guess in some way I am unrealistic in my expectations. I don't throw tantrums, I don't pull the silent treatment on my partners, I don't yell or freak out over trivial things. I only expect the same from them. It's called respect, and alot of women I have known just don't have it in them. I have met many amazing women of all types, don't get me wrong, I don't hate women, I love them. But this last one has taken the cake. She is afflicted with some form of mental defect. I have suspected it for some time now but I always gave her the benefit of the doubt cuz I truly love her. I just can't be with her anymore. I just want to get my old self back, and maybe I will find that one person who will make me realise why it didn't work with all the others.
