I will tell you my opinion and then I have to get back to work.
I think they know they are screwing up. Every single messed up one of them.
But...pride is an SOB who knows no color or boundary. It is up to the individual who is infested with pride to beat the beast back. But the beast is strong, and stronger than many. They would rather hold on to their precious pride than tell someone that they screwed up, and that they are sorry.
I try to think about it a bit from their perspective. I once dated this guy when I was young. He was a nice guy, educated, good job. He was also in college. I asked him if I could visit him one weekend, and he told me no because he had to study. I didn't get that at the time, and dumped him for one of the many losers I have dated.
About six months later I saw the good guy. I watched him look at me, and I at him, and I realized I had screwed up big time. But did I say anything? Nooooooooo. Because I had too much pride. I didn't want HIM to think that I regretted my decision.
Of course, I was like 22 at the time. Big difference 20 years will make. I am stronger now, and so is the pride beast.
But I kicked his ass a long time ago. Difference is, I did the work.
Our WAS's haven't.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
