I see what Mike’s doing here. He’s constantly worried that asking anything of Sandy is a “bother” or a “pain” to her, so he’s going to let himself suffer alone because of it. He really needs to step up and have a serious talk with her. Maybe she’s well meaning and truly is busy, but she can’t meet him halfway on anything. Remember there was a symbolic scene in Model Girlfriend when he came down the hill after she shouted at him, and she didn’t bother coming up to meet him halfway.

Oh man, Mike your grief is so damn delicious, it’s like a little mini meal before dinner. Frankly, I can just barely hold myself and not grind pepper on your head.

“Ssssandy I yelled at Lucy and demanded that she forgive me and give me the time of day after convincing her she was worthless and that no one loved her or wanted her around while she was trying to better herself just because I felt insecure, pushing her to suicide.. and she said no!! i’m having such a bad day ): ”
