This is one of my fears. I can’t imagine the betrayal and lack of ethics. I can’t imagine a person who would sell their souls to date someone they hate like this. Just thinking about it ugh! I’m in a community with a bunch of degenerates and sometimes I’ve dated guys who just seem to be lying through their teeth that they like me. I stopped frequenting their bars. Doesn’t help when the photographer at events is an undercover cop. I’m not the one in biker gangs but I stopped going because of all the fake suspicion. Still I’d need soooooo much therapy. I hope she got a huuuuge settlement.

    Maybe not as huge as it should be but

    In 2021, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ordered the Met Police and NPCC to pay a total of £229,471 to Ms Wilson “by way of just satisfaction for the breaches of her human rights”

    I hope a sincere apology was included in that as well.

    They were required to apologise also, although sincerity cannot be ensured.

    Edit: Or rather, the Met police and NPCC have apologised, it seems like the officer has not and generally shows no remorse.

    "This is one of my fears"

    I'm so sorry that this is actually a concern that someone legitimately feels. It's unbelievable to me that anyone could date someone they don't like, for whatever reason...

    sends hug
