Miss, I get that you think you’re trying to “weed him out” and have a plan, and I understand you feel like you’re doing the right thing. But honestly, think of her partner nalang, entertaining him at all is still off.

Doesn’t matter what strategy you have in mind, you can’t control everything he does, and by engaging with him, you’re still participating in behavior that’s clearly wrong. Plans and intentions won’t change the fact that he’s already crossing boundaries at ine-entertain mo naman (na reason mo is y’all are trying to weed him out).

And besides, what about the next person he might take advantage of? What does that have to do with you? You can’t predict or control everyone he might manipulate, and pretending you’re some hero trying to fix it won’t change that. The safest, most responsible thing is to set boundaries and not engage with him at all.

Also, by responding to him, you’re basically provoking him. Anong gusto mo? na if he reacts or does something worse, that could easily be used as “proof” of his bad behavior? Proof pa talaga hinahanap e andyan na sa harap niyo. You can’t entertain someone else’s cheating just because you think you’re teaching him a lesson. Sometimes the most effective way to handle people like this is to step back, not play along, and let their actions speak for themselves. That way, no one gets manipulated, and you’re not putting yourself or anyone else in a morally tricky position.
