    It’s funny, your head went to relationship – my mind went straight to a Work scenario where you’re being told one thing by your boss or whoever but someone already told you the truth.

          Not sure I follow this line of thought. I honestly didn’t think of anything nefarious - just someone who was privy to a situation or piece of information that they hadn’t been instructed to keep quiet. I’ve had that exact thing happen to me so many times where someone mentioned something that happened conversationally and then the official line was something different. No reason to make waves or bring it up - just initiates some curiosity/wariness.

              Yah, I think we’re on the same page. We’re all a product of our experiences and recent context probably informs how we all interpret posts like this.

                I totally see it as an innocent thing myself, but I also know people who live in those type of toxic relationships (who are toxic themselves and I try not to hang around them too much).
