That actually makes a lot of sense.
I hated how Sawyer argued with Kate and ssaid that she felt guilty because of "them"!:nono:
Who the :badwords: does he think he is?!?!?!?!?!?:ranting: You don't talk to a woman like that!!!!!!:mad:

It was jerky of him... but it totally fit his character... the old "tiger don't change his stripes" and "I'm a complicated guy sweetheart" stuff he pulls...

Yeah, I didn't like how he treated Kate either. But, of course Sawyer has grown to love and care for her a lot so being that said, he feels like he has to be on guard with his own feelings towards her. He thought Kate finally choose to be with him instead of Jack. I think this is just a guy thing and it's in his character too. Hates the feeling of being jerked around. Kate needs to make up her mind and Sawyer's trying to tell her that. LOL

I've never understood why anyone could like Sawyer. He is clearly a sociopath, as described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), published by the American Psychiatric Association, which is the handbook used most often in "diagnosing" mental disorders.
It defines sociopathic personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another;
In contemporary research and clinical practice, it is most commonly assessed with the Hare Psychopathy Checklist- Revised (PCL-R), which is a clinical rating scale with 20 items. Each of the items in the PCL-R is scored on a three-point scale according to specific criteria
through file information and a semi-structured interview. The items
are as follows:
Interpersonal dimension
* Glibness/superficial charm
* Grandiose sense of self-worth
* Pathological lying
* Conning/manipulative
* Lack of remorse or guilt
* Shallow affect
* Callous/lack of empathy
* Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Affective dimension
* Need for stimulation/-proneness to boredom
* Parasitic lifestyle
* Poor behavioral controls
* Early behavioral problems
* Lack of realistic, long-term goals
* Impulsivity
* Irresponsibility
* Juvenile delinquency
* Revocation of conditional release
Behavioral dimension
* Promiscuous sexual behavior
* Many short-term marital relationships
* Criminal versatility

The writers couldn't have described Sawyer better if they had a copy of DSM-IV in their hands.
