This may be the peak of male entitlement

[PousseyNotMoira]

He's suing her for $2.3m because she doesn't want to 'take their relationship to the next level' Seriously. This is a thing that is happening.

The sheer entitlement makes me want to scream. They’re in Singapore, but I'm pretty sure most of us have been out with at least one guy who, given the opportunity, would try this nonsense.

Come off it. He's not suing her for being friend zoned. Clearly there's more to this.

He threatened her with a lawsuit and to destroy her personal and professional reputation. She agreed to go to counselling (!) with him to stop him. FOR 1.5 YEARS.

The poor woman was probably constantly worried about setting him off. No telling what he would do at that point.

Jeez are we going backwards to slave labour except in this case it appears to be sex slaves. Wtf

What in the name of bollocks have I just read?

Back in the sixties the dad of a girlfriend of my dad's (if you follow) attempted to sue him for wasted time when my dad didn't propose to her after six months or something ridiculous. He was 19, she was 17 and to his mind it was a casual thing but her parents were adamant that as they'd gone out "for so long" he should marry her. This did nothing for my father's feelings towards the girl and he chucked her. At which point the dad of the girlfriend upped the ante and tried to sue him for breach of promise. It never went anywhere but my dad still has the solicitors letters and stuff in the loft and the wording is entirely insane. God knows how much money the man wasted on pursuing this insanity. Many years later my dad bumped into the woman - long after her father had died- and she said sorry and how embarrassed she had been about it all (as you would be!) He went on to give subsequent boyfriends a hard time and she ended up married to a much older guy who could stand up to her dad.

Like what? What justifies suing someone for not fancying you?

Ah, MN fixed the first link. Thank goodness.

@Talon01 Please share what ‘more to this’ there could possibly be.

Being a man!

His first “claim “ was thrown out, I expect this one will be too.
Words more money than sense come to mind, what a twat.

Poor woman.
