theferrett, Someone you cared about wronged you in a way that hurt you to the core, but you didn't respond with hate and pain. Instead, you tried to talk it through. What you discovered that the person who hurt you wasn't willing to change their ways; they were going to keep wounding you, and making excuses for it... And worst of all, they were never going to admit that they were wrong.
So you did the right thing: You stated your case without begging, then walked away. You chose to leave while you still retained some shreds of respect for the person instead of pushing things into a final, apocalyptic (and, let's be honest, satisfying) confrontation that would collapse everything.
Why is there no reward?
