I know, been very distracted in my posts lately but I'm following, promise!
And so glad you're seeing the back of this drama, Light. Undeserved, unecessary, OVER.

I'm over here just ROLLING MY EYES at the explanation for the knife episode:
because you didn't empathize with him.
AYFKM? What are you supposed to be? His MOMMY? You're a customer; client; he's there to perform WORK for you... not get his head patted if he hits his thumb with a hammer. Or to caretake him, because you refused an indecent (pardon the victorian in me, is having the vapors) proposal??
In WHAT WORLD is it OK to threaten someone with a knife (or gun for that matter) just because people don't feel what you want them to feel; aren't acting in line with one's unreasonable (and very forward) demands?
I know many "men's men" and they would be just as horrified by his behavior as we are. It's just not the way they were raised to treat women. And they might just have dealt with him, on their own, out of your sight/knowledge FOR YOU. They recognize that guys like that are a danger to their own wives and daughters... or someone's. There are still some very very good men in this world. Taken, most likely - LOL - but they're there.
Hopalong:
He reminds me of an angry incel.
Frightening.
Make tracks!

Tupp, Malevolent is a good word.
Yesterday I went to the seed store near me. A country affair, with hard working southern country men I absolutely feel would put Contractor in his place for his behavior. It felt really good to be with them, treated like an equal, with respect. I noticed how it felt, and it made me very sad, bc I;ve been starved for that feeling lately. A respectable man doesn't bully, and intimidate his way through life.
Hops... I think C is an angry incel. I think he hangs with men who hold those views or don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to him, bc it would be such a nightmare. Upsetting the C IS a nightmare.... he;s crazy. No one wants to upset him.
I think I've processed this enough.
Driven lessons home, like nails into my skull.
I learn lessons by degrees, apparently.
I can't just accept them, 100%, and crack on, un apologetically.
Thanks for your input, guys.

Those are the kind of men I like, Lighter, the ones who will step up and do the right thing. There's nothing manly about frightening people or playing me the martyr. Disgraceful behaviour. I am hoping for more good, kind chivalrous men (and women!) in your life now and Mr Crazy Arse becoming a distant, albeit unpleasant memory xx
