re: #230 Cato the Elder

Mostly what is meant is “I need you to go over it with me one more time, tell me again why I’m a loser and you dumped me, watch me cry, melt your heart, make you apologize and give me a hug. And now, can we start the dysfunctional, better-off-dead relationship over, pleeeze?”

I used to work for a guy who had formerly been an undertaker. He said that funerals were all about closure.

I’d buy that one.

With the living, demanding “closure” is unrealistic, and quite possibly pathological.
