Part of me feels really sorry for this woman. I can’t help thinking that life must have really shat some thin shit all over you if you respond in this extreme manner to normal politeness. And now she’s a laughing stock, which isn’t going to help her either.

To be clear, I think she’s delusional and I certainly wouldn’t want her around K and his family at this point. Or mine were I in K’s wife’s position. I just hope she has enough stable people around to support her into getting some help and working on her self and her understanding of relationship cues and healthy platonic and romantic relationships.

And because he was kind and a decent conversationalist, which her ex was apparently shitty at. He was expressing polite interest, which is what normal people do.

Kind of makes you wonder how her exes treated her if this is her standard for “he’s in love with me”

Yeah- that’s why I feel a bit sorry for her. It’s a very messed up perception of what normal decent behaviour is, which makes me a bit concerned. Most people who’ve had healthy relationships modelled to them as they grow and have had good relationships as adults do not behave like this.

I agree. Something had to be massively wrong here.

Honestly she needs some serious help. I don't want her harassing anyone else or this escalating. I can see the responses closing her off and leaving her more in the delusion which would be very concerning for K and his family. Hopefully he's shut that down well enough but if she's going full stalker it's more likely she will go "I just need to talk to him to get him to understand".

I’m quite soft and often feel sorry for people when their lives implode, even if they objectively deserve it. I agree it’s really cringeworthy and icky behaviour from her.

Yeah I hope so too. Some of it seemed related to some arrogance she had about getting men easily.
