Am I wrong for thinking this?
I don't think I can make someone "feel bad" about what they've done. That is different from acknowledging they hurt me. In the end, it all comes back to me - what matters in my life. If I'm not getting what I need from any relationship - I have to look at what I'm going to do about it, not look to them.
