I am looking for peoples opinion in what you would think if this was said to you.


P1: hey.
P2: hows it going?
P1: ive started seeing someone.
P2: im happy for you. Why do you look unhappy?
P1: these last few months between you and i have been very stressful. At the start i really enjoyed talking to you and im thankful you helped inspire me towards a new career that i think i will really enjoy. However seeing your face, hearing your name makes me think MAN...... I wish i never met you.

I know that sounds harsh but stress and pain without reason or growth is meaningless and unjustifiable.

I know most of you will be wanting to say more then just how you feel hearing this but this is to help me understand what a general view is after hearing this and if i still want to say it after hearing your opinions.

Why would you say this to someone?
I haven't but i did think about it and i just wanted to understand how one might feel after hearing this. I can't imagine what that might feel like because I've become numb to people treating me like i should never have been born.

Right, but why would you consider saying that? What are you attempting to accomplish by saying that?

P1's words do not rebuke a wrong action by P2, or a moral character flaw in P2, but rather show a contempt for the person of P2. Jesus had something to say about such contempt.

"But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire." - Matthew 5:22

Remain numb to it.

Don't even bother how others would respond to an inhumane remark.

But never say it yourself though, unless you can back your opinion with concrete evidence they have done a lot more damage living than if they were never born.

I agree with that but p1 isn't saying it out of anger as past history between them was quite unpleasant. P2 was nice in person and in groups but if ever talked to say online or via text the attitude changed and would become far more hostile. Which makes no sense. P1 would likely be tired of this and though greatful regretful all the same.

In that case, P1 should just not initiate any online conversation with P2 at all. Have face-to-face conversations only about the important things, and maybe a face-to-face private conversation about troublesome texts to clear the air if P2 still seems decent, sincere, and predisposed towards continuing the relationship in person.
