      It’s the abusive partner “logic” - when the other person refuses to be a victim, they’re “being hostile”.

        Oh for sure. It’s the same logic applied when you beat your wife, so she leaves you for your neighbor. It’s obviously the neighbor who ruined your marriage. Wife as well, because a part of you knew she would cheat, because leaving you is obviously cheating, and that justifies the violence.
