Predator Awareness

If you are not familiar with my situation, the one liner is that I work with my ex-predator’s friend. My commitment is nearly up and I have decided to leave the area. That’s neither here nor there on the predator identification front.

What is on point, and true to form, was that my ex recently met this friend for drinks. Initial conversation surrounded me and my goings on. Thrown out into the conversation my ex informed this friend that he was thinking of extending the “olive branch” to me.

Under normal split-up circumstances that would be the only decent thing to do. However, since my ex is a psychopathic predator, that one sentence had an entirely different motive than the one that would be advanced by a decent human being.

Sure enough, on down the line, once he had his friend in the position he wanted him, the real reason for the meet-up was revealed. Nothing at all to do with remorse, everything to do with pumping his friend for information to fulfill his need of the moment.

That need of the moment had absolutely nothing to do with me. He used care and concern for me to loosen up the jaw of his real target - the friend.

Fortunately, his friend is onto him. In fact, he said it took everything he had not to bust out laughing in the predator’s face once his “true” intention came out.

A week later and no “olive branch” extended in my direction. The good news is that I knew, along with the friend, that was never the intention.

The Clue: Intentions are always for the benefit of the predator, don’t be fooled by fluff.
