He recently talked about his plan to buy a pair of kittens. I was just listening to him go on and on about breeds before asking him “Why not adopt? You get to save their lives. Plus you save money on fixing them.” What he said next gave me a nightmare.
He said he plans to neuter the kittens at home by himself, despite not being a vet and not having any proper equipment. He only told me he was kidding when I told him that that’s horrible.
After that I stopped letting him come to my house since I have a cat and I don’t trust him around her anymore. He has made nasty jokes before but I still don’t want to take any chances, cause he might actually have been serious and be a cruel prick for real. I just could never tell if he’s joking about something.
Like the time he said he was joking about betting $10,000 on McGregor beating Mayweather, but then he actually did it. And saying he wouldn’t lick the toilet seat for TikTok but when went on to do it anyways. I just always second guess him whenever he tells me he is joking.
My parents said that I should believe him since he said he was kidding but I told them that it’s a really gross thing to kid about. And then, after they pushed it for five more minutes, I said ‘Look, no matter what you say, I am never going to trust him again.’
Was so wrong to say that to them? Should I have kept it to myself?
