- I am always available to you.
- But I do not feel that you are.
- One element of your feeling bad is the false sense of my not being there for you.
- When I have become locked into it, I need you to make an extra effort.
- But that is not being available, it is interfering. I am reluctant to overstep the mark.
- This means that you are only available in theory but not in practice.
- Even so, if you ask for me, I will come to you.
- No. I want you to become actively involved when I need you.
- You want me to sense that there is a problem, and then ask you what it is.
- That is the meaning of [i]being there for me[/i].
- I feel that goes beyond what I am capable of giving.
- That is what I mean when I say you are not there for me.
- I still think that I am there for you, but perhaps not in the most appropriate way.
