Although words like Sunny's work in theory, they don't always work in
reality.  It sounds like Clark (like me and a lot of people) is built
a certain way:  we have innate characteristics that get in the way of
purely logical actions.  It would be nice if we could put our feelings in
check while the person in question does their thing, but we would be
untrue to ourselves and therefore cultivate a false side to our emotional
makeup (sorry, Avon).

I have been in a similar situation, Clark, and I finally decided (as per
a famous movie) "I've had enough and I'm not going to take it anymore"!
It dawned on me that the key word was "compatibility" and that if she
wanted to see others despite knowing my feelings, we were incompatible
insofar as our commitment. And isn't that the bottom line in a long-term
relationship?

I wish you luck, buddy, as we (well, a lot of us) are rootin' for ya!
