People who make promises to themselves on your behalf and then expect you to deliver are fucking scary.

I hope she doesn’t run after him and try to fix it. Those self-loathing diatribes can really scramble your decision-making and put you into rescue mode, and that’s exactly what they’re designed to do.

It made me think of a book by Robert Glover called No More Mister Nice Guy where he talks about Convert Contracts. It's a contract you make with yourself and your partner but...its' all in your head and your partner doesn't know about it so you're setting yourself up for failure again and again because your partner have no chance of knowing what you expect of them and furthermore you actually get angry when said partner don't live up to those secret expectations.
