In general terms:

Afraid to take a stand for fear of...whatever...usually fear of a D.

Practicing a doormat version of Plan A.

Staying in even a good Plan A for too long.

Afraid of Plan B.

Unable to stay dark in Plan B.

Accepting too much responsibility, especially any blame for the A.

Ignoring the advice of those who have been through it all already.

Setting ones self up for false reconciliation.

Basically, mis-translating the love BS has for WS into fear of the WS and magnification of the unknown.

It’s the other side of the WS fog. (Now there is a mixed metaphor, lol.)

with prayers,

"Never forget that your pain means nothing to a WS." ~Mulan

"An ethical man knows it is wrong to cheat on his wife. A moral man will not actually do it." ~ Ducky

WS: They are who they are.

When an eel lunges out
And it bites off your snout
Thats a moray ~DS
