I'M SORRY...AND CONGRATULATIONS

After breaking up with his fiancée, a young man realized the error of his ways when he wrote: "Dearest Marie, No words could ever express the great unhappiness I’ve felt since breaking our engagement. Please say you'll take me back. No one could ever take your place in my heart, so please forgive me. I love you! Yours forever, Jimmy...P.S. And congratulations on winning the lottery." This kind of makes you wonder about this guy’s underlying motives.

The truth is that our underlying motives have much to do with the success and failures of our relationships.
