“I would have never cheated if I knew he was lying [about forgiving me if I ever cheated]”
Bro thought he was being smart setting her up to tell on herself if she cheated, but he didn’t consider how women think…
Men don’t see the ketchup cups in life that women do.
We tend to take things as is, but women read deep into the context and what ifs…
Wtf is the deal with ketchup cups?
Well idk if you knew, but those little ridges in the sides are there for a reason.
If you pull on the edges of that cup it will unfurl and become 3x the size…
When you say things like “usually I don’t…” or “we generally don’t” you might be politely conveying that you are saying no, but to a craft person all they hear is an opportunity to pry open what is possible…
That is what this dude didn’t think about when laying his trap for his girl.
He said he’d forgive her if she was honest thinking he’d catch her in the act. What he didn’t consider is that he communicated that she could possibly cheat just once and could get away with it…
She notes how she never forgot how he said that and it always bounced around her head.
She admits she would not have cheated if he didn’t give her permission…
Lesson: be careful with the wording you use when setting boundaries and avoid communicating ketchup cups that can be potentially pried open…
