Please use this post for discussion of those contentious, murky, triggering issues too complex to discuss/moderate on the main post.

Note that this post is NOT a free-for-all and will still be modded for slurs, namecalling, doxxing and trolling. But fair warning that it will not be moderated for discussion of issues some find triggering (trans issues, mental illness, etc.) and that if you choose to participate here, you do so at your own risk.

As someone who's been in a similar but much diluted position, what do you think someone who was concerned about you could have said to make you see the light as far as Andy was concerned? What would have got through to you, or did it really have to be a conclusion you came to yourself?

The only thing that might have worked (and I can't be sure) is if instead of focusing on how he was a bad person, or dangerous for me to know, they had simply pointed out that I was wasting my time/energy/money on someone who would drop me without regret. That MIGHT have gotten through. Nothing would have convinced me he didn't DESERVE affection, but I was always a little aware he couldn't/didn't really return it.
