I recently saw the movie about Ray Charles, and there's a scene where he falls down and the mother doesn't help him. She says, I don't want anyone to treat you like a cripple. I've fallen down before, and Molly will say, get up and just go.
Ted needs someone to be there 100% of the time. He thinks that's love. It's not love - it's babysitting.
The problem - when you cast your net that wide - is you inevitably catch something you don't want to catch.
