Men now avoid women at work – another sign we're being punished for #MeToo

Yeah, you seem pretty hung up on paying your ex-wife her monthly support. Seems kind of personal the way you talk about her -- you might want to just make the payment and not feel so emotional about it.

Hung up? No, not at all. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction. As has been said, living well is the best revenge. She is petty and bitter. I have a good life with some very interesting relationship opportunities shaping up.

Based on some of your previous posts, years of crazy little situations, each with a completely innocuous explanation, a drunk walk home here, a little picnic with a male friend there, layer on an "emotional affair," and it does make one wonder just what kind of work it was that you were doing.

He was the one who took the arguably compromising positions I found myself in through no fault of my own the wrong way, and held it against me. So if my friend had gotten called out back then as possibly having laid a hand on me without any proof, it would have been at the hands of a MAN, not a woman. So yeah, I'm bitter, about this and a thousand other things, but my therapist is trying to encourage me to leave the past behind and move into the present more, even if the future seems far away.

I'll quote something that was posted to me a few hours earlier:

Yes, you were there, so you claim. And everything else is a claim too. You claim it happened as it happened. But the reality is we don't know that. We only have it as you see it, and nothing more.

Boris, as I told you separately, it's a very good thing that you are dating again; it sounds like you were really hung up on your ex and unable to move on to start over. 

 

However, I think you're being a little unfair to me. The situations I found myself in really weren't my fault at all (and you KNOW what I think about all this emotional affair business) and were absolutely innocent, based on a friendship that went back many years. My then-fiance was hung up on the fact that I dated this friend for 3 weeks in high school and was convinced that he was just waiting for his moment to pounce. I didn't mention anything about a picnic, I don't think (I checked my posts, but maybe I searched wrong?), but yes, it was a picnic that I went on with my buddy that made him go completely mental. Good guess, I guess? 😟

 

This was a TOTAL red flag that I ignored -- I had to drop this male friend, and then later it was another one and another one, until I only had one male friend he deemed acceptable to hang out with, and that was his own best friend. That was a bad judgment call on his part -- I "ran off" with that one! But in the end, getting back to topic, there was nothing to be "punished" here -- nothing happened, and the parties involved didn't think anything happened, it was someone else who did and got bent out of shape about it. Kind of sounds like you and your sensual work massage, Boris.

I went through many years being bitter about my ex and his behavior. But you know what? Once you move on, nothing about that even matters anymore. It's the only way to heal emotionally and not let a dude continue to control any aspect of your life. I have every right to loathe him, but now? I feel nothing. No hatred or loathing or bitterness, or even pity. Just nothing. The best revenge is to heal and move on.

I'm working to get there (hence therapy). The ink was dry on our divorce not even 6 months ago. Thank you for the words of encouragement though!

I'm sure @Boris Farage will be along to explain how he was a victim of #metoo after giving a coworker (underling?) a few consensual (I meant to write consensual and it came out sensual, LOLOLOL) massages.

I won't lie, it is a blow. Still a more effective PM than his predecessor. In the end, the people will understand Boris was doing what he had to do, after Theresa squandered every single opportunity.

Nothing to explain, I've recounted the event in several threads. To summarize, a consensual massage was reported by an embittered #metoo, despite the fact that it was completely consensual and harmed nobody.

They're both terrible, and May messed up a lot, but I can't see how Johnson is doing a better job than May. Johnson is a disaster and seems happy to march the country into the bad old days.

Did they teach you UK politics in "Stand there and look pretty" employee training? 😉

I happen to take a keen interest in politics, both in this country and in the UK, because my fiance is from there (obviously). He has never been one who has been very into the idea of Scottish independence until recently. Brexit has really changed his mind, and while he feels British (perhaps more so than many Scottish people, given the fact that he basically moved south when he was 16), he also feels very European. Johnson is just forcing him further towards embracing independence.

Joking of course. It's scotch time, and I've had a few. Or more. 🥃🥃🥃 😉

 

Speaking of jokes... the very notion of Scottish independence is a joke. Were Scotland to go independent, England would have the equivalent of Somalia on its northern border within a fortnight. Rather than graffitiing "independence" on their overpasses, they ought to be graffitiing "thank you England" for keeping some semblance of order. But then that's a lot of words, I'm not sure your average Scot is up to the task.

Anyway, we should take this over to the other thread, I don't want this one to get closed down for going off topic. I will reply to you there.
