Search Results: calling after a date

There’s a backstory to this question.

My younger cousin who is a senior had a bit of drama today involving her on-and-off boyfriend (?), Nathan. Both are 18. They broke up at least 4 times over petty things and dated people in between their breaks. Anyway, Nathan dated this girl who was a sophomore (Patty) and they broke up for whatever reason so he went back to my cousin while Patty dated someone else. However, he would still flirt and being intimate with Patty and my cousin found out when Patty “confronted” her after she logged onto his messenger and read the conversation he had with my cousin. She was furious and broke down to her friends in tears. One of them in particular kind told her they told her so and informed her that the Patty was crying as she found out her boyfriend had cancer and my cousin said she didn’t give a fuck, which lead to her friends calling her fucked up for saying that and left it at, “I don’t care.”

She told me this at home and said she kind of felt wrong for saying she didn’t care about someone having cancer but at the same time said she thinks the girl is lying for attention (which she allegedly famous for), didn’t know him and had no connection to him so she didn’t understand why she SHOULD have to care. I didn’t know what to say. Obviously, she said it out of anger and frustration but do you think it’s wrong to not care about someone else’s misfortune or at least not be sympathetic towards it in general.
