The inner you wants everything to be about you. I've been there. I've made decisions thinking it was about the girl but really it was about how making the decision would make me feel at the end of the day. It's like when a person gives money to a homeless person to make themselves feel better. "Look at what a nice thing I did. Good job, Exo. That was the right decision." Meanwhile, that homeless person just took your money and did whatever it is they do with money from strangers, leaving you on your nice cloud of self importance. It's out of your control because you didn't control the situation in order to drive an outcome for them. You control the situation to drive an outcome for yourself.

Homie, until you find somebody that makes you forget about your natural selfishness for a few moments each day, you're always going to feed the #1 person in the relationship, which is yourself.
