Some days I find my mind boggling at the kind of stuff people say and do and how it almost never strikes them as weird.
I never react in the moment but later on it all stays with me. And then I don't particularly know how to react again.
This weekend, M let slip that her ex had a baby, and he wanted to send her sweets. Then she said his wife had had prior miscarriages. And I was just sat there thinking wow. Like. You were having an affair with a dude whose wife was having a miscarriage? Multiple ones I think she said. Or maybe I misremember. And she she told me she thought there must have been something wrong cuz they hadn't had a baby for so long, and asked him how come he hadn't told her.
At the time I heard it all, and after she left it's all been sinking in like what in the world. What the actual fuck. How... HOW can you expect someone to tell you their wife is losing a baby and how are you just sitting there discussing it like it's some mild info. What kind of a fucked up person can you be to be inserting yourself in that marriage and now just so nonchalant. Fuck dude. It's scary to me how divorced some people can be from their actions. I don't get it at all. She is beyond any help, honestly.

I'm not going to spend more time and energy on any of this any longer, but I just want to take a moment to let the wtf feeling go away.
I feel so bad for that guy' wife. I really do. Imagine sending your mistress or whatever the fuck she is rn sweets. So scummy. I am very, very disturbed and uncomfortable with this. It's a man's job to be loyal to his partner and protective of his wife, but women like these are no better. If the kids ever find out, it'll be so sad. Yuck. Right in this moment, I purely loathe these people.

My dislike and aversion to marriage was rooted in seeing my folks being stuck in a toxic dynamic, but I never realised how much worse it can all be. I feel bad for kids who need to bear the burden of the fuck ups of their parents. I'm so, so, so sorry for them. I promise to never compromise on my love and my protectiveness towards my family, and I pray I only end up with someone who feels the same love, responsibility, and protectiveness towards me.
As much as I have cared for M all these years, these few years have shone a light on such gross traits that I do not know how to come to terms with them. I suppose I have to find a way to stuff these thoughts into a box and pretend it doesn't exist.
I am so sick of discovering such shitty ugly faces of the world man... I really am. I hate it from the bottom of my heart.
