i don't want you to worry*
I read something online the other day that said we (people in general) should replace "I'm too busy" with "It's not a priority". I think this would work very well here. "I can't take five seconds to text my boyfriend because it [he] is not a priority." I'd love for someone to clue the older one in that that is *exactly* how he's thinking here.
In other words, I totally agree.
Besides, he *specifically* told the younger one, "I don't want to talk right now. It's better that you leave." (pg 15) followed by, "We shouldn't see each other for the time being." (pg 16) Which implies, at least to me, that he /doesn't want the younger one to contact him/!!!! So he doesn't. Then the older has the utter *nerve* to say that he's the one waiting! AFTER describing the younger one as "problematic", "stupid", "tiring", "annoying", "stupid" again, and only "has a lot of guts" on the pro side to balance it out!
In short, the younger one deserves someone who'll think of him positively and doesn't gaslight him. I don't really know why I tagged this.
Oh, wait. Melodramatic tension. I need to put a 'reading mood' tag on this thing!
right on point! this is a very triggering story XD
Haha, thanks for listening to the vent! I just... *had* to say something after reading it. I'm not sure I'd pick "triggering" as an adjective, but then I've never been in an abusive relationship (and this is. The way he cuts down and ignores the younger one is emotional abuse). "Rage-inducing", maybe.
... Probably. Not just maybe, probably.
hahaha, i see, i see... yeah, that one is better!
Wherever I can, I try not to use 'go-to' words unless they really are the best option. I don't always communicate clearly even in person, so over the internet I try to be precise where I can be. "Rage-inducing" lets me know *exactly* what mood I'm going to be in when I'm done reading it. Great for when I'm already annoyed/angry and am looking for someone to take it out on. Not so great if I'm looking for a cry or something.
(⊙…⊙ )why did it seemed like the older guy didn't have any fault at all!? the younger one even took the blame! I mean, oldie didn't even explain a thing and just brushed off younglin' and just by saying I don't want to worry coz i love you solves it??? how about the emotional and mental stress of the younglin'???
urgh...
