Woman Overheard The Craziest Conversation Of A Guy Revealing To His Girlfriend His 12-Year-Old Son
Honesty is the cornerstone of every relationship. And it doesn’t matter if the person in question is your SO or your plumber. Your love life and your bath are better off when you don’t keep secrets about your pipes. This guy, however, thought it would be better to wait before telling his girlfriend about his secret child. Casually slipping it in way later proved to be seriously damaging.
“I was sitting at the counter of a busy restaurant/bar when I heard this conversation, [and it] was not a private one,” author Maria Dahvana Headley told Bored Panda. “It was loud, and a bunch of other people heard it right along with me. There was a lot of head-shaking going on as the restaurant listened to this guy blare his imaginary truth.” It captivated her so much, Maria live-tweeted the entire exchange.
“This conversation took place in June of 2017, before the Weinstein revelations, before #MeToo gained traction – and it was a tremendously clear example of everything we’ve been talking about ever since – gaslighting and what it looks like in real time.” Maria claims that was the reason why she put it up. “Not to make fun of this guy, but to show people what it actually looks like when someone gaslights you. We can all read about what gaslighting is, but when it’s happening to you, often you don’t know what’s going on.”
“This is why I talk about things like this in public – I want victims to realize that they are not the ones at fault in scenarios like this one, and to depart these situations when they see the warning signs – lying, refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing, blaming the person they are lying to for judging them.”
So as far as overheard conversations go, this one certainly is among the most interesting ones. Scroll down to read how everything unfolded!

The hypocrisy on this comments here is hilarious. If this was about a famous person, published by some magazine, the very same people criticizing her would be posting their real opinions, lol. There's no invasion of privacy, the couple cannot be identified. Also, having a conversation at a public place, at a volume other people can hear, it's not a private one. And everyone is missing the bigger picture: He is an a*****e, and made the woman feel bad and guilty thanks to sexism. That's just a story to illustrate something that happens on a daily basis...

I don't care about any celebrity's personal life, not any more than anybody else's.

He might have been very irresponsible at such a young age, but he has the opportunity to turn it around and be there for his child now. Because every child needs parents to guide them and support them.

So the fact that the guy is basically a a*****e is completely ignored. How a woman s basically walking into a toxic relationship is irrelevant but privacy.. oh my god.. privacy is at stake. No one even knows the name of the guy or girl. World full of stupids.

Thank you! Another fatherless child, hurting and FAR more likely than kids with two involved parents to wind up dropping out of school, going to jail, doing drugs, and yes....shooting up a school....is suffering, likely in poverty, and people are worried about tweets??? Children get hurt by the actions of those who created them......always, it is kids who suffer. Kudos to the unnamed woman for calling out a douchebag .
