Rep shrugged. "It's no really for me to say. Only you could ever answer that one. He was your shitty ******** person, no mine."

The drink got blurry in front of Rodney.
"He was. He is. But I believed everything else, too."

Rep gave Rodney a sympathetic look, not able to say anything to make any of it easier on him. "Don't stop thinking the best of people." he said.
"A lot of people do."

"He's running away," Rodney said, "he doesn't want to deal with...with losing. The pressure, all the time, so he's just...thrown it away. I told him I couldn't. And I can't, and now it's over and he's probably...relieved. He doesn't care...where I am, right now. Just...just so he doesn't have to think about it- and he could have done it, he could have. It was only for a little while. But...I would have given him- the rest of my life."
The drink burned, and Rodney wished it would burn more than it did.

"You seem like a really good guy." he said, understanding intimately the idea of offering your entire life to someone else, he even understood how it felt to offer it to someone else and have it not be enough, or at least to have it feel that way.
"You just..picked the wrong guy maybe."

"He'll pick again. I won't. Oh, this is all going to come up," Rodney took another shot. The taste had stopped bothering him, but he didn't want anything too sweet.

"Better out than in when you get to a certain ******** point anyway." Rep said with a roll of his shoulders.
"You aren't going to move on?" he asked. "You don't need to. I mean, I wouldn't." He couldn't judge anyone for lingering on their partner, nor really relate to people who did move on after a relationship.
"It's just always shitty things that happen to good people."

"No," Rodney said. "I don't even know what number marriage I am, really. But...this is my first, and last. He was....was kind to me, in everything except this. And he didn't l-let the horsemen r-rape and kill me. But oh, it hurts, it all hurts...no...no matter how much I-"
He was draining drinks at a pace that only someone who had a shield to keep them from death could drink.
