Best answer would have been “Why do you believe I only have ONE girlfriend?”
Respectfully, I disagree. Validation isn’t agreement or support. At a minimum, it shows someone is actively listening. And, it isn’t for her either. It is for him to end this discussion first without taking the bait she dropped with the comment. The suggested responses don’t offer up info about whether Rock is dating which is ultimately not her business at this point.
They also reduce the risk of provoking more discussion which, to me, anything suggesting he is dating, even as an attempted gag, are more likely to do even if Rock could pull off the humor. I agree with DNJ that she seems to be making this garbage up with her mom to avoid the reality that she is the reason he isn’t there and/or why she is with another man. Whatever the reason, that is no longer your problem Rock. She fired you.
I agree with R2C, the more you interact with her the more you lose. Put another way, what positive impact do you think these unnecessary interactions are having for YOU? To me, they erode any work you do around detaching or GALing.
Merry Christmas Rock. I see lots of people trying to help, wanting you to be successful, and offering you candid feedback. These are your gifts from us. Honor them by putting them into better practice asap.
