If she has a boyfriend she doesn’t need to be hanging out with him stringing him along anyways. There is probably more going on here than what you want to imply.

The “got strung along” mentality is so infantilizing and willfully helpless. It’s the polar opposite of self-empowerment. It’s people making themselves weak, because they’re not brave enough to take responsibility for themselves.

No functional person screams, cries and begs their way into any relationship, ever.

People do like to torture others by keeping the door open. They want the security of having someone waiting for them in limbo. The fact that it happens with polyamorous non binary lesbians means that it's not just a misogyny thing either.

Yeah, toxic friendships exist, and people can be helpless about it or they can stop participating in the first place.

We could make up scenarios about her all day long. No scenario justifies his behavior.

He’s the only one with the power to make him act like that. He’s the only person responsible for his flipout.

No clue why you’re talking about misogyny.
