You guys, whether or not Robin’s liable for what happened (and she is, in my mind), the point is that she DOES make impulsive decisions that DO jeopardise the well-being of the people around her, and whether she’s blameable for it or not is secondary to the fact that Leslie has a right to say, this isn’t good for me.

If that logic doesn’t make sense, think about someone who has been brain-damaged in an accident and suddenly becomes vicious and abusive. Their partner may love them dearly and recognise that the behaviour is due entirely to the injury and it’s not their fault, but that doesn’t change that they are totally justified in not being romantic partners anymore. Fault isn’t really what’s relevant – what’s relevant is that the relationship itself isn’t healthy anymore and when people are being hurt, and there doesn’t seem to be much prospect of the hurtful behaviour changing, they SHOULD leave.

You mean, when you dream?

Yes. Yes it does.

I hate the idea that you just give up on someone that easily. If you really love someone, you stick with them no matter who they are, and they stick with you no matter who you are. You swallow your fears about their impulsiveness, and you WAIT for them to change and grow. Things take time.

Philosophies like this are why people can’t stay married in white-people cultures now-a-days. It’s never about ‘you’, always about what ‘I’ can handle.

Just saying, because reading this a second time it made me kinda pissy. Sometimes love hurts and you have to grow a pair (of balls, boobs, whatever) and stick it out. Running away is never a solution.

Thank you for recognizing it and calling it for what it is.

It doesn’t hurt when you’re unconscious.

You say that is if there is any time it doesn’t hurt.

Robin’s not a scorpion, her nature is changeable from moment to moment. Yes, generally she will be energetic and perhaps a little insensitive, but specific wrongdoings cannot and should not be chalked up to her “nature.”

Oh and stop being so aggressive with people on here. You don’t get to tell people to shut their pie holes and so on like I’ve seen you carrying on. Feel free to argue with my points and think me a dingbat, but when you start instructing others on how to be, you come off as a total toolbox.

Story of my life.

There are acceptable ways to express that and there are unacceptable ways. There are easily five ways in which Robin has tread into unacceptable territory right now.

Shouting, bringing back past favors in a manner that implies debt, belittling of the other party’s worth and value, physical intimidation, using one’s role in a relationship to imply dependency and need. Just what I can name off the top of my head.

As a whole Robin really did step dangerously close to abuse here. I’m not gonna say it is or isn’t. I’m hardly the authority on the issue. I’m just gonna say that if this looks like an acceptable way to interact with a loved one to you then I’d strongly disagree.
