You are obsessing over a woman you dated 40 years ago
Therapist: “You are obsessing over a woman you dated 40 years ago. She has grandkids now.”
Me: “Right, but what if they get in a huge fight and break up? I still have a shot.”
Therapist: “The 76ers lost to the Lakers in the NBA finals 40 years ago. Do they still have a shot?”
Me: “If they had Magic come back and switch sides and score 42 points like he did in Game 6 back then, then yes, they have a shot.”
Therapist: “Can you see a pattern here?”
