Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But I can think of times when, I don't know, the problem person was so inappropriate that I didn't want to tell them. The CV was pathetic. You couldn't take them anywhere. This one guy, he didn't even have a pair of pants that weren't just cut off and frayed around the calves somewhere and covered with stains. And I was working for some nonprofit.

I'd be like, I want you to have a pair of pants so you can come with me. And he was like, I don't want to come with you.

But I held on tenaciously. I could change him.

Once you bond, which what I mean is through sex, it's very hard to turn back, especially if you have attachment wounds. It's very hard to turn back. And so you find yourself, you wake up next to someone and you're like, what have I done? I can't stand this person. But if you were actually abandoned as a kid, there's this therapist named Pete Walker. He calls it abandonment melange.

And it's this like toxic cocktail. For people who literally were abandoned as kids, there's this like nervous system. It's a flashback. It's an emotional flashback. You may not even remember the memory of it. Like a combat veteran would kind of remember what this is about. Just this feeling of like, I'm going to die. I'm so frantic. You know, the grief is unbearable. I can't go on.

You know, what have I done? And, um, And you can't go.
