MrNiceGuy: it sounds like you have a lot of unanswered questions

Sinbin: so many of them

SinBin: and no way to get answers

I started to type something but erased it. I did this a few times, waffling on whether I should cut the conversation short. I’d already dumped enough on him. I should stop talking.

MrNiceGuy: it looks like you have more you want to say

I wanted to facepalm myself. He could see that I was typing and erasing but not sending anything.

Sinbin: nah. I’m done whining

MrNiceGuy: talking about stuff that’s going on in your life isn’t whining. I understand if you’re at your peopleing max, but you don’t have to hold back if you have more on your mind

Sinbin: I’m worried about my sister

MrNiceGuy: how so?

Sinbin: she tends to act out when she’s hurting or confused about things, and she and mom are way closer than I am with mom, so I know this is really going to hit her hard. and living at home is going to make a thousand times worse

Sinbin: she doesn’t handle being alone well. She’s the type who needs to be around people and have a ton of friends and always be busy. When friends don’t fill the void, she turns to men

MrNiceGuy: and I’m assuming not good men

Sinbin: no. she’s an asshole magnet. she’s so desperate to have someone who makes her feel loved and wanted that she ignores warning signs and puts up with bullshit until they break her heart and leave her vulnerable to the next asshole who targets her

Sinbin: her last bf was her boss who ratted her out to the company after his wife found out about them and got her fired to save his own ass. she had no idea he was married. That’s the kind of asshole she ends up with

MrNiceGuy: She’s younger than you?

Sinbin: yeah by 2 years

MrNiceGuy: are you worried she’s going to do something tonight or in the near future that will put her in harms way?

Sinbin: not really. She’s out with her friends right now, and they’d never let her go home with some random or drink herself stupid. I’m more worried about the next asshole she meets and latches onto because she’s messed up about mom and not because she actually likes the guy

MrNiceGuy: it sounds like you have a lot on your plate

Sinbin: ngl it feels like I’m standing in front of a buffet table of crap and not just holding a plate

Sinbin: and now I have a mental image of a crap buffet in my head. Awesome

MrNiceGuy: lol now I do too

Sinbin: well that got super heavy and really gross. what’s your favorite color?

MrNiceGuy: favorite color?

Sinbin: yeah. Isn’t that how people do small talk? something’s telling me that laying all your problems on someone on a kink app isn’t how most people roll

MrNiceGuy: lol probably not

MrNiceGuy: but I’m not most people

Sinbin: I can tell

MrNiceGuy: my favorite color is yellow, what’s yours?
