After 15 years my friend revealed that he was waiting and hoping for my beloved husband of two

decades to die because he thinks that he is the next logical husband as if that's how feelings

work. We were in the middle of a conversation about how he can find someone that will date him.

He's been thoughtful and kind with me for 15 years so I didn't have any feedback about what

might be going wrong for him. Then he mentioned offhand how he's annoyed, how, quote,

women keep bringing up that I won't listen when they go on and on about how much danger they feel

around men. Halfway through my response of, well, men are the ones that murder us,

suddenly his whole personality changed and he got furious. He cut off my response and he shouted,

oh here we go, women complaining again. You know I'm only hanging around until your husband

inevitably dies because I'm your next logical husband and I'm losing patience. And during that

last word he realized how phenomenally bad he slipped up. I thought he was one of my best friends

but apparently he never saw me as a person just a logical prize to win someday when my rock climber

husband inevitably has a fatal accident. He tricked me for 15 years but now he holds the record

in my life for going from best friend to blocked in less than one minute. A lot of people

suggested some books to understand the entitlement mentality that some people have and it's already

helping me since this moment. And by the way my beloved hubby and I double checked all of his gear

and he reminded me of all the safety protocols he and his partners use to reassure me how he's

trying to stick around with me as long as possible and I always wear my helmet at the base of climbs

even when I'm not climbing. We're in this together. After I love like this as if anyone thinks

logic is how I'd find my next partner entitlement is a hell of a drug eh? If something like this were

to happen it must make you look back on your life and question what was even real at all. There's

a certain famous TV show that I'm not going to say the name of in case one day you decide to watch it
