When my wife had an affair, my puppy took a pretty good beating.
I can see that.
If viewed from this lens, I can say that pretty much every man I've ever met has bashed and lacerated my bunny to within an inch of its life. Honestly, I do not see men, in general, to be worth the spit in my mouth... based upon the personal experiences I've had with them.
Using the Blackfoot/Burg model, I'd do well to use every man for whatever it was they were willing to give to me, as long as I was honest about my intentions... aka, high priced call girl. Relationships are just business, a means to an end. Fck it, I'm a beer to slam. Hand me my money and my trinkets, and I'll be on my way. But... golly... that high price call girl is looking a bit like a martyr to me... isn't she? THEY (the lousy azz loser men in life) MADE me what I am... and to spare myself any effort whatsoever... I can just say, conveniently, that I'm only doing what THEY expect of me... for that's all they want anyway...
So... bemoan the fact that your puppy, through the course of life, got kicked, and assume that every woman is going to do the same. Just like every man is going to smack a bunny senseless.
Pain... deep pain... is a part of life. A part of happiness.
The jaded lone cowboy schtick... is a just another version of martyr -- wearing chaps.
