I love the muppets, too. Never grew up, I guess. Not the same since Jim Henson died.

With regard to H trying to turn it around on you...I can maybe give you some perspective on that. He feels guilty, unfounded, without a leg to stand on...in short (I think), he feels like he is in a position in which he is morally inferior to you. He feels morally threatened and ashamed, and wants reason to feel like he is not complete trash. So, he tries to find something to blame you for, so that you will be on equal footing.

I regret to say that I know this tactic firsthand. I have f***ed up a lot in my M, and during fights I have used this weak and pathetic device. I wish I could say that it has been a long time since I did. Sometimes it seems to come out automatically. I am working on changing my reactions.

There is no excuse for what he did to you (I could say the same thing of myself). I thought it might make his answers easier to tolerate if you understood what was going on behind his face.


Think about it...if you met a potential mate who was nothing but a bundle of needs, would YOU be attracted to them?
