--- Quote from: Dr. ROFLPWN on 12 Jan 2012, 00:41 ---Readers who are going "yeah bro you show that bitch, you got some spine finally, hurf hurf huuuuurrrrf": you are predictably wretched excuses fir human beings and I would be disappointed but honestly I'm not surprised at all

Pardon me, but that wasn't quite what I was trying to say. I just think that his reaction was very reasonable. He has every right to be emotional. What she pulled was pretty harsh. Sometimes our feelings get the better of us. Treat someone who cares about you like dirt for a week, and they might be a little mad about it.
--- End quote ---
If you understand his actions here but still recognize they are dumb and vindictive, I'm not talking to you with that comment
If, on the other hand, you want to provide justification for his actions, especially if you want to couch it in extremely sexist language, well then what I said applies

Fair enough. I know they're dumb and vindictive. HE knows they are as soon as he hangs up the phone, and he feels awful about it immediately. But when he said them they felt absolutely right. Emotions aren't rational.
I think we agree with each other though. :-P

In particular, she delayed going, and then didn't use the delay with Marten as, presumably, she had intended. I can see that she could have got confused in her own mind, feeling that all she was doing by delaying was making it harder for both of them when the time came, and so decided to pour cold water on the relationship before then.

I didn't wanna say that because it sounded sorta contrived in my head, but yup. Talk about mixed messages. They both fucked up and now they'll both pay the price. Presumably. Unless one of them bites the bullet and apologizes. But at this point I don't know if either of them should accept an apology from the other. It seems unlikely though. We like stewing in our own misery waaay too much to let that happen.
Anyways I've posted too many times in rapid succession, I need to stop before this gets weird. :psyduck:

Thanks you three, I can see what I failed to consider. ~~
But my earlier point remains. There is no room for "bearing grudges" in this situation. And what Marten has done seems like just that for me.
