Unfortunately, Charlie came to the board with questions, but doesn't want to hear objective feedback....he'd rather dot... dot.... dot...lengthy irrelevant musings...dot ...dot...dot ...while avoiding pointed questions, such as "Why idid he suggest doing laborious work for his former gf she didn't ask for, only to demand payment after their breakup?"...dot...dot.... he give her a price at the time of his 'suggestion?'", etc....dot ...dot ....All the relevant questions he avoids....dot...dot...... provides negative feedback for those who question him!
Charlie shouldn't make things personal, especially on a message board to which he came seeking info, but perhaps that is the reason his relationship didn't work out for him. Eventual maturity will help, hopefully....dot...and perhaps some syntax.
