Starsky is absolutely correct about H playing on my emotions. He knows that I love him dearly and I have a very forgiving heart. He uses that knowledge to smooth over his wrong doings. I'm working on making better decisions so I don't played over and over again. I am tired of looking like a fool.
Knowing your "Achilles heel" will help you. Practice saying things that don't allow him to deflect his own responsibilities onto you, via the Pity Card.
