[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6641490, member: 92511"] As I read it, MO telling the girl-friend his views on the guy occurred during some time in the years prior to the girl-friend becoming the tantrum-thrower's "GF". AFTER they began dating/living together (which sounds like it was a nearly simultaneous) the now-GF told the tantrum-thrower all of the stuff MO said about him BEFORE they were dating. So she's as much "trouble/drama maker" here as the angry-guy. Whether he is justified in being "angry" or not does not justify the somewhat disturbing [and/or disturbed] behavior he exhibits, according to MO, with everyone...it's just exacerbated with him...thanks to her, ultimately. The gall that she has to say 'this is what you should do/how you should act when we see you tomorrow to game as normal" is absolutely gobsmacking...and the occasions one has to use "gobsmack/-ing/-ed" in a sentence that really fits/works are few and far between, let me tell you!...It reveals that she has some kind of indication/experience to believe that MO's compliance is assumed/assured. She needs an awakening as much as, if not moreso than, the emotional/behaviorally inappropriate tantrum-thrower. Neither of these folks should be welcome back at any table without the explicit understanding that the next time they want to act with this kind of adolescent emotionally-unbalanced drama will be their last time in the game with MO. Period. End of story. Get your therapies or hold your grudges or conduct your "friendships" however you like. But none of this belongs at or underlying the table. Don't game with them again...I say now, but in the interest of open communication and "being nice/one more chance" [which I have no doubt will be squandered], let's say TO THEM "one more time and that's it" and then...trick is...stick to it/you have to MEAN it and ENFORCE it.
