She should have atleast communicated her reservations with him . That is not the way you handle things . It’s not about whether she loves him yet or not . They are already friends - regardless of what the relationship is you cannot treat someone badly because you have seen and assumed something. The honesty in clearing the air is very important . Otherwise there is nothing there

Palliative care is very important in terminal diseases like cancer . These patients are in so much pain and discomfort. Palliative care alleviates some of this so the patients can live out their lives comfortably . And yes they use a lot of these alternative treatment methods i western medicine practices for this because they actually work very well. This should not be trivialized at all

LOVE ! MY FOOT is exactly it. All it required was a simple question . And not that treatment he got

I mean both these women were just sitting there sulking and making nasty faces . This was wrong on so many levels

Is that something new here ? People defend all kinds of atrocious behavior on the forum.

Not all of them. LOL

Definitely. Also she just told her friends at work and rhey all treated him like a pariah , as though he has committed a grave crime. What the hell was that?

Exactly my point . This would be a huge red flag . And if really he had a kid he should stay away from this kind of woman . And yes what she did speaks for who she is. Respecting the other person is important. This kind of judgemental behavior is bad for a long term relationship

No from one perspective one should t . Not if they are interested . They should at least let them know that they will not date someone with a kid . Since they have not started dating he does not owe her an explanation .

Yep that apology needs to happen .

Dealing with it in a roundabout way is fine but you don’t treat someone worse than trash just because you found out they had a kid .

But is she serious about him- no. They have not even declared their feelings to each other yet. She was wrong in assuming things and accusing him that way

Yes there is bias and discrimination here on so many levels

Single parents never bring a kid into the picture till things get serious that is the rule. And she could have asked him when she found out . They are not even dating yet and he does not know that she is interested . You are right - she is a 27 yr old ADULT. She could have handled this better rather than showing that childish petulant behavior. And what she did at work with him was completely unprofessional. You just do not assume things about people just because you saw something once. If you are really interested in that person you would dig deeper and not behave this way also even if he has a kid - so what ? There is discrimination here

Yes agreed. I don’t know who is this patient in real life - especially men. Both ML and SML are putting up with too much. Childishness from these women . Especially the SML - he just needs to move on

I think she put that thought into that kids head to call the ML ‘dad’

For all practical purposes her relationship ended when the guy broke up with her via text . Even before that it did not look like it was going to last given the way he was treating her . But yes one would wonder if she has come out of that 8 year relationship completely to start one that is healthy

I agree

Even if she showed the ML her real feelings I really did not like how the FL handled this misunderstanding. The ML as usual was unrealistically patient with her

Exactly who discloses having a child to someone they have just met ? And when things are not even serious
