  • Spike encouraged the relationship even though he knew it was bad for both of them
  • Buffy was the one who said the relationship was unhealthy. Spike didn't care if she was using him and encouraged her to keep on doing it.
  • Spike was always trying to touch her inappropriately in public. She tried to fend him off, even though she ended up giving in most of the time. In public, HE was the one also trying to slip his fingers somewhere.
  • When Riley caught them in bed together, Spike rubbed the fact in Riley's face. Buffy's attitude in the same situation was to get business done.
