I know how confusing it must be for you, but please try to understand: I'm not making you do anything. I'm not holding you at gunpoint or threatening your life. I'm not manipulating you or coercing you with sweet words. I'm simply telling you that I will perform this action. Whatever your reaction may be, whatever course of action you decide to take, know that all of that is your doing. Your choosing. Not mine. So if you do actually drive up to my friend's house and force some kind of maladaptive discussion about how they're stealing me away or whatever nonsense you believe is happening when I leave the house to see her for a couple of hours twice a week, that would be all on you.

And believe me when I say that every time you say things like that in an effort to persuade me into something you want me to do instead of what I want to do, saying you'll do something crazy because of your own insecurities or inability to understand that people have their own lives if I don't follow your carefully outlined character profile for me, I feel even more inclined to leave.
