Search Results: do guys listen to gossip

This guy said he respected me yet did not acknowledge I was different from my brother, who worked for him prior, despite how from the start I was obviously more qualified. This guy kept bringing my brother up in comparison as if there was one... there wasn't. I am better at this work period.

The only thing my brother had going is he lacks confidence so rather sucks up to authority, I been confident and qualified to be either am seen as peer with bosses (as now) or there's a clear divide in abilities (with prior guy brother also worked for there was no such divide, more peers) in which they get a lot of respect but I still don't suck up.

Further this guy tried lumping me with other women who were of low caliber - he had had a few flings, including with an employee of you listen to business gossip, while married. He brought this up with the implications I was to follow suit even though he was married still and pushed in a way by doing tasks that he said showed respect. Really they were just implementing suggestions that should have been done long before

My mother used to meddle too much and gossip bad things about my boyfriend. She literally made others believe he was using me for sex. He talked about him as if he was the worst guy ever. Her best friend at the time (an older woman who was also my friend) died years ago. She died believing he was using me for sex, for my virginity.

The reason he got upset and visited me less was because one day my mother herself said ''don't come, my husband's friend and relatives are coming over for a whole week, you can come some other time''. He close to my house already and he felt excluded, hurt and offended. So he got upset and then my mother got upset at his reaction (him not coming over anymore) and started gossiping endlessly about him. Then she insulted him on my b-day, issued him a false apology over the phone and continued being a fake person for years. His friendship with her was a falsity for years.

Only after her health started getting worst and this pandemic not going away, she started softening her stance and has accepted him by now. I told her the real version, which she questioned why I never spoke up for him. She wouldn't have listened. She only started listening to me now. It took him a long time (years) for him to finally forgive her.
