I am not sure understanding what happened is determined by a gender of reader? How so? Because you are a man you don’t see how badly this man behaved?

What kind of effort? She drove 10 hours to see him. He put her out because of the fight they had. I personally wouldn’t put a visitor to be stranded in
a strange city alone without transportation and then don’t let them in the house at night letting sleep in a car, even if I had a fight.

Sure he saw her earlier this year but it’s because he was there on business trip, he didn’t drive 10 hours to just see her. He made no effort.

Sure he had tears about something. That doesn’t prove anything, could be number of reasons like hurt ego or who knows.

And he swore he does not sleep with other women but then turned out he sleeps with other women and has unprotected sex. How is that making an effort?

He did beg her for something: particularly sex and hugs after insulting her, why is that considered making an effort? It’s insulting to beg for sex and hugs after mistreating people

I told my husband about this story while greystreet originally shared it and he was mortified what kind of person behaves this way. And he is a man.

I am confused why are you referring to his behavior as making an effort?
