Why do they want to keep you hurting?????
I think mine is a little different. I mean that I don't think he necessarily WANTS to see me hurt.
Having said that . . .
I know he doesn't CARE if I am hurt.
It's just that he doesn't sit around thinking up things to do to hurt me.
Having said THAT . . .
If, on the right hand, there is something he wants to do or have, and on the left hand, he can avoid hurting me by not choosing what's on the right hand . . .
The man (term used loosely) is choosing the right hand and he does not care if I get hurt or not.
And that's all perfectly okay and not his fault.
And he can prove that.
Becaue he's a therapist (no he isn't -- he's an addictions counselor) and as they know very well in the world of psycho-babble -- if I feel hurt, it's because I CHOOSE to feel hurt.
Voila! He's off the hook.

(Trust me. He really IS "off the hook.")
