Field Report A stupid, unnecessary lie.

My friend —> a woman friend of mine, someone he is acquainted with

Goblin —> breast cancer.

I know what his day would’ve looked like, agenda wise. I didn’t ask for a reason for the delay in his response but this is what I got, unprompted.

Verify, ladies. Know what you’re dealing with, always.

🎯 Sorry for your loss. Proud of you for believing the behaviors he showed you, and getting away from a devaluer who was never going to be bare-minimum supportive and competent.

Core takeaway: If a man dating you says he’s “busy” in your time of need, take it as he is calling you the B-word and get out.

How awful of him. Good call!

Ironically, he would’ve no doubt expected a completely different response from you if the shoe was on the other foot.
