'Tain't my job to save HER. If she gets saved and straight and "right with the lord" (metaphorically speaking), then she'll be someone I'd be a fool to not take back. Right now, she's someone anyone'd be a fool to take.

"As-is?" No sir. Because I DON'T LIKE HER VERY MUCH RIGHT NOW. She can (@0:58) sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.

If she wants to come right out and say, "Smiley's Person old boy, I f*cked up. You got right, so now I'm gonna get right. And when I get right, I hope you'll be open to opening the door at that time. To exploring it all again."

And I'd say, "Sounds fine to me."

. . .

And until she has the confidence to Walk Her Way, she's on her own. I'm not shouldering the load of anybody else's Fear. Not anymore.

Sell The Fear someplace else; we're all stocked up here.


I'm with SP here -- I think he's got it right. It's NOT his job to "save" her, nor to even "fix" her. It's his job to REMAIN OPEN to her doing the work necessary to "save" or to "fix" herself. And while I do hear some honest anger from him (and I think this is a GOOD thing), he does also sound OPEN, even if it's not right now.

Really, what more does she have a right to expect from him??
