This is exactly what I’m talking about. If he’s just gonna stand there spouting useless nonsense, then he might as well shut up and leave her alone. She’s already been through enough—he’s done more emotional damage than anyone, and now he wants what? A clean conscience? A pity conversation to make himself feel better? Please. The audacity is insane. He’s not trying to fix anything—he’s just poking at her wounds so he can ease his own guilt. He messed up, and now he’s playing with her emotions like it’s some kind of therapy session for him. She owes him nothing.
