| Aug 23, 2016 at 2:19 | comment | added | Devon Yarbrough | @MadBanners An apathetic person might not have previously been indifferent. Person A once cared and then became apathetic. The "recurring pattern" is evident when B reaches out to A and repeatedly receives no response. | |
| Aug 21, 2016 at 9:07 | comment | added | Mad Banners | I'm confused here. You said that "A presents a recurring pattern", not that it was a one-off situation. Now, you talk about "a enriching relationship" within the scenario. Surely that's some kind of a commitment. | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 16:32 | comment | added | IberoMedia | @MadBanners I refer to the behavioral pattern of A. I think fickle is not the right word b/c it would mean A attitude would fluctuate between having expectations and apathy. I think disloyal does not apply; commitments or mutual agreements, implied or otherwise, are not part of the scenario | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 4:31 | comment | added | Mad Banners | It's a difficult concept to fully explain in a word... but I'd say fickle or disloyal. I guess it depends, are you referring to the characteristics of A after giving up on B, or the entire situation (i.e. A starting off alright but then giving up on B)? @IberoMedia | |
| Aug 20, 2016 at 2:42 | comment | added | IberoMedia | @MadBanners Do you have any suggestions? | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 1:27 | comment | added | Mad Banners | I respectfully disagree. An apathetic person would not have cared to begin with. @IberoMedia | |
