I agree with your post. I feel upset with some readers for not being able to see what was coming in my relationship, but as I said in another post, I think they are basically just doing what we ask them to do when we call. Let's be honest, when we call, it's often because we feel something isn't "right" but we want to be reassured that everything is OK when it's not. (Or for people in no contact POI situations, we want to hear that he'll come back.) This means that we need to learn to trust our own gut feeling and common sense, as you put it.
