"I hate that the MC made him look at you and repeat that stupid crap....I just don't see how the hell that was supposed to be helpful."
To me it kinda goes back to the whole thought of making your own decisions... for you. The idea here is that he is saying he feels nothing and is communicating that clearly. This serves the purpose of helping him "face" his decision. Kinda like Stewart Smally from SNL. He always looked in the mirror and spoke his daily words of affirmation. WAS suffer from the same issues that LBS suffer from. The things that we think will make it "all better" don't usually help us at all. What does him leaving solve other than the immediate issue of him being "unhappy"? He will still a father. He will still have to provide for his family. He will still have responsibility's. He will still have to interact with HVA.
