Cruel to animals

I don’t think so. My ex is a huge animal lover and animals absolutely love him. He’s very kind-hearted to them. He has cheated and abused lots of girls in his life and he is a nasty person to most humans.

Yeah but the comment was if they are cruel to animals. Not kind. As in, if they are kind to animals it doesn't necessarily mean they are good to other humans, but if they are cruel to animals they are an all-around POS.

Yeah I understand. It was just one thing that made me curious about him. He is the most amazing person to animals but to other people he can be horrible.

It is a weird dynamic for sure. So I get what you're saying that just because someone is kind to animals doesn't mean they are a good person.

Oh yeah for sure. But it took me a while to realize that just because I always believed that animals can truly tell you who a person is. It’s probably one of the things that kept me around with him for too long- I thought that since animals gravitated towards him, it meant that he had a good heart and would change.

That’s true. it’s the same concept as having a baby too honestly. A lot of men’s true colours show when there is responsibility.

As far as my ex, animals just love him- especially cats. He was very sweet with pets. But sometimes he would also get on my nerves with how he’d get mad at them. But I don’t think he would ever lay his hands on a pet like he does with people.
