--- Quote from: Mojo on 27 Apr 2009, 00:55 ---It isn't reasonable to expect him to change so drastically overnight and never lapse. It's not uncommon for alcoholics, for example, to lapse, early in their attempts at sobreity. Even during his lapse, it was clear that he didn't want to be doing it, at least on some level. That is, he knew what he was supposed to do, but was unable to curb his desire to do the opposite.

Oh bull.
"Aw damn, I wasn't watching my dong and it just ran off and buried itself in her cootch! It's not my fault!"

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not excusing the behaviour, I'm just saying that it's largely automatic to him. Consider his thoughts during the incident. He knew what he was doing wasn't good, yet he kept doing it. Like any habitual behaviour, it's very difficult to stop. I'm not excusing it, just explaining it.
Is it cold in here?:

It was better than slashing his tires, but namecalling and turning your back on someone who's trying to apologize don't meet my standards for maturity.
akronnick:
Except that he wasn't apologizing. he said something mean and hurtful and he was trying to get her to come back because he still wants to be the center of attention. Faye had every right to walk away.
What Sven said is pretty much the defining feature of a fucking shit-eating DOUCHEBAG ASSHOLE
raoullefere:
On the money, akronnick.
Worse, to me, Sven was trying to cast Faye as acting the same as he does. There was absolutely no reason for her to listen to him after that bit of self-justification. "Sorry" doesn't fix everything, and it especially doesn't do it when it's not the first thing out of your mouth.
Hint, kiddies: if you want to actually talk to someone whose feelings you just hurt, you probably better make with the nice, not the insults. Better yet, give 'em some space, for god's sake. Sven would have been better off just saying hi and letting Faye do the talking...or not.

Sven could probably articulate why Faye's feelings are hurt, but deep down he feels like he is the wronged party in this situation. He thinks because he never agreed to monogamy (though he implicitly did by continuing to sleep with Faye after she said an open-FWB situation was a no go), that Faye should still be available to him. He also doesn't get why he wasn't rewarded for being honest. For reasons he doesn't understand - he actually likes her - he still wants to sleep with her, and he is not used to being rejected this way.
If Sven really got that he just hurt her feelings, he'd probably be nice. But right now he thinks she's in the wrong for not sleeping with him anymore.
