Unsure whether to stay with a partner who repeatedly hurts you with their thoughtless actions? Ask yourself this one simple question, writes DrErinLeonard
For example, Lisa and Dave are. They attend Dave’s work party together. After eating several servings of shrimp, Dave feels nauseous. He tells Lisa he is going to the restroom. After several minutes, Dave realizes he is too ill to return to the party. He texts Lisa from the bathroom explaining he is sick and needs to go home. Lisa does not respond. Desperate, Dave calls her but Lisa doesn’t pick up.
After an hour, he cleans himself up and stumbles to the door. He reaches a group of work friends gathered around a table and asks if they have seen Lisa. They relay that Lisa went to a neighboring bar with several people from Dave’s office. Dave realizes Lisa has the car keys and starts to look for her. Clammy and dehydrated, Dave finally locates Lisa two blocks away at a pub with his buddies.
When Dave arrives, Lisa looks annoyed and escorts Dave to the car. After glibly asking if he is okay, she brags about the fun she had. When there is a break in the conversation, Dave communicates to Lisa that he was desperate to get ahold of her. Lisa laughs and says, “I know, but I didn’t want you throwing up in my car, and I was having fun so I made you wait.” She laughs as if she is pleased with herself for manipulating the situation.
Dave is perplexed. He is glad she attended the event with him and relieved she connected with his work friends but is hurt that she refused to help him in his time of need. He, again, conveys this to Lisa who replies, “Sorry, but you shouldn’t have eaten so much shrimp. Don’t be like my ex. He made me leave every party early because he was soDave, wanting to be understanding and accountable for his own actions,. They make sense.
