Matt McCusker expresses that he feels guilty after being nice to his partner for a short duration, as he perceives it as modeling behavior that causes her to walk all over him.

“I can do like four days of like as you wish and then like eventually I'll spazz like I've been doing [ __ ] everything for you you didn't even notice that was so nice for four days didn't say anything that's hard though four straight days of being nice really hard”
