So much for appearing to be the better option, huh?
What do you mean by this?
I just mean that, if I were still DB'ing, the objective would be to present myself as the better catch between me and the OM. Being an obvious nervous wreck and a not-quite-so put-together adult male with a weakened ability to handle stress, not to mention still being dependent on her for help and not having any one friend close enough to call upon, then I wouldn't appear so much "the catch". My "stock value" will have thus depreciated in her view.
I mean, the OM is not forced to lean on her for such aide. So he doesn't come off as a "charity case." That's all.
