Question about the Men that left

[Queen_of_Swords]

Brooklyn, thank you.

They say they are done, blame the LBS, act as if the are happy all in an effort to fix what is broken.

Yes that's him.

I believe they become more and more lost until they look inside. It is when this happens that they may realize that they couldnt be happy because what was wrong was inside them.

Yes I tend to agree with you, but in my POV they try everything first to AVOID looking within. They distract themselves, because looking inside at where you're cut and oozing hurts.
What they haven't figured out is the only way out is through. Like a badly set break, the injury inside must be rebroken to heal well, and the pain will diminish, and they will be fully functional.
