And I thought this would only happen on TV

I think there’s a lot to learn from the following true story that I will be narrating. Sometimes, people are unpredictable; emotions make people commit serious mistakes. Let’s call the two key characters Rubbish and Vixen.

I moved into the house with Rubbish at the same time, it was not hard to notice that he seems to be visiting Vixen very often. I reside in a place shared by 9 people. I would often chat with vixen because she brings up interesting topics about the business situations back in her home country. She's a spoilt rich kid. She did mention to me once that Rubbish was kind of pestering her most of the time and getting ‘touchy’ and I gave her my 5 cents worth on how to tackle such issues.

Rubbish had a girlfriend back home and she will be coming to live with him in 3 months.

Somehow me and Rubbish drifted apart, he seems to have resentment against me but I was not too bothered. I did not find comfort adjusting to his somewhat selfish personality.

When I came back from my 1 week US trip, I did notice Rubbish and Vixen acting like couples. I queries if they were together and vixen got denied and got angry.

Then one day at 5 in the morning, I went out to get a glass of water, I heard Rubbish talking in the bathroom. Curious I stood and spied. Then I heard Vixen’s replying him. Feeling somewhat disgusted at the lies and activities, I slammed my door to let them know someone was awake and forced them to hide in the toilet. Heh.

Vixen also has a boyfriend back home. He loves her alot and sends her money to help her when she used up her dad's remittence.

So anyway I didn’t care until recently, I found my housemates gathering to discuss on the day Rubbish moved out. Rubbish had moved out to rent his own place to live with incoming girlfriend. One housemate was pissed because he still came back late night to pretend to pack up his stuff and hogged the phone for 2 hour to chat Vixen. Rubbish’s girlfriend was already here and sleeping at home.

So I finally got the whole picture:

1) Rubbish hated me because I was closer to Vixen in the beginning. I’m flattered to be seen as a threat.
2) Rubbish saw all the male housemates as a threat.
3) Rubbish cried once when Vixen went out to have meals with another housemate rather than him. I know- that’s so gay.
4) All of Rubbish’s ex-girlfriends were stolen from other guys. Probably that explains his mentality of “There’s no girls I cannot own.”
5) Rubbish tactic was to be highly persistent.
6) Vixen accepted him because he treats her well and does everything for her, e.g. cook for her, get glasses of water for her, carry her bag for her etc. Rubbish degraded himself as her bitch.
7) Rubbish’s girlfriend is older than him and has no university education; she borrowed money to fly to him. I think she plans to get married to him.
8) Rubbish’s girlfriend has no friends, he hold a tight rein on her and does not allow her to be with other guys.
9) Rubbish had been caught cheating once. (Oh yes)
10) Vixen confuses me, she keeps telling us how uncomfortable she is as Rubbish pesters her, despite all our advice, she end up getting involved with Rubbish.

Rubbish says that he does not want to give up on Vixen because he cannot stand his ‘woman’ to be with another man.

So anyway, Rubbish got caught by his ‘stupid’ girlfriend. He should have known better to judge women by intelligence, I reckon women have higher emotional awareness and she probably felt something was wrong when he started to chase Vixen and changed his daily habits or calling her. He got busted because he did not delete the photos taken on the ‘last few days’ where he went out with Vixen to have romantic dinner and ice skating shit. He should have been preparing for his girlfriend’s arrival.

Ethically, this should never have happened.

From a logical point of view, he already have the highest ROI in this investment and yet because of lame reasons refuses to let go. It was a matter of time and we laughed out asses off when he got busted on the 2nd night of his girlfriend’s arrival. I bet she searched his stuff when he was at out place calling Vixen.

The girlfriend actually forgave him. I think he’s probably all that she has and it will be devastating to fly back with nothing. She gave up her life to come to him and also in debt.

We got news that he will still try to keep this awful relationship going even though his girlfriend is locking him down. Vixen seems undisturbed but when asked if she would still carry on, she seems hesitant.

Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

It’s selfishness at its best.

Human feeling are the most complex. How do you make the most rational decision at the right time?

It is noted that feelings (emotions) are generated by your unconscious mind which causes you to act.

Anger - you conduct aggressive actions. Fear - you run or shield yourself.

How does you unconscious mind know when to generate such emotions? It is through comparison with the set of accepted values and beliefs that you collected through your life time.

That's why some people remain calm while others panic in the same situations.

What I am implying is, perhaps Rubbish and Vixen have a different set of values when it comes to relationships and they let their emotions get better of them.

I'm not sure if you agree on this - the people who makes the most rational decision at the right time are always the calmest person in the room.
