So the story goes something like this. A woman, known only as CL, sued her ex-boyfriend, known only as HG, for damages/expenses over what she alleges was a broken promise or several.
While they were still a couple, CL had arranged to attend a concert with friends which involved a flight and being away from home for a period of time. To facilitate this, HG agreed to take CL to the airport and stay at her place to look after her dogs while she was away. OK, fair enough. But before this took place they broke up. Permanently. They were already living separately and for whatever reason ended their relationship of 6 and a half years. Oh dear, how sad.
On the day of CL’s flight however, HG failed to show up at her place for the airport run and subsequently did not stay at her place to look after her dogs. Why would he? They were no longer a couple. This caused inconvenience and additional expense for CL for which she then sued HG for compensation. Can you believe this shit?
Knowing any promises or arrangements made before the breakup were likely to be off the table post breakup, CL could have (and should have) made alternative arrangements. But no. She assumed HG was a fucking mug and would give up his free time to help someone with whom he was no longer involved.
Let’s examine the logic here. There are 3 possible ways (living) people can end a relationship.
1. Both parties mutually agree to go their separate way. Rare I know, but it happens. In which case, make your own arrangements CL and get on with your life.
2. CL breaks up with HG. He’s now upset and much less inclined to do her any favours. In which case, make your own arrangements CL and get on with your life.
3. HG breaks up with CL. She’s been given her marching orders. In which case, make your own arrangements CL and get on with your life.
We now live in a world where everything has to be done according to your wishes regardless and if it isn’t, it gets legal. Wow! One assumes that at some point during their relationship CL promised to take it in every hole whenever it took HG’s fancy. Now that’s not happening, presumably he can sue her for the cost of top shelf hookers who will.
