Ummm, I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't suggesting, I was just pointing out that some people do such things as sabotage themselves without intending to and that it may be a subconscious effort to 'punish' one's self.

It may be that the boyfriend is unforgiving, it may also be that the boyfriend has experienced his limit...she mentions he is hard to talk to, so one has to wonder why this is so, among other things...Like I said, we only get a part of the story from one prospective and that is the prerogative of the story teller.
