Bona Fide Creep
Min Jung: “I can barely contain the explosion of epithets and scars, apologies and sorrow in my head and heart. We first met in Sept/October of last year. We started dating in October. In November or so I learned that he was *still* dating someone. By February, as learned today, he still hadn't officially broken things off with her. It came around then, the official breakup with the other girl. She had been lied to about me. I had been lied to about her.”
Most of the comments are anti-male. Well, anti-that-male-in-particular, as one reasonable commenter notes that only some men are like that. The guy Min Jung describes is a bona fide creep, but while reading, however, it's important to keep in mind that there are women who date other guys on the side without telling their boyfriend too. I've been told that this is done out of fear of being alone, which, regardless of its verity, is a bullshit thing to say to a guy like me, since being alone is all I know.
So there's no moral high ground that women, as a whole, can take on this issue. That's because among them, they have their own creeps, although we rarely refer to such women in that way. Min Jung can, however, claim moral high ground in this case, and did: a) for dumping the jerk and b) for not lowering herself to his level by hitting him. "Cor", in the comments is, absolutely wrong for suggesting that Min Jung is “insane - for not hitting him”. I'm glad MJ didn't punch the guy. He doesn't deserve the satisfaction.
