Dear magic:

I hope you do feel better and that posting here will reduce your “heavy emotional baggage.” Post as many times as you would like. I wish someone else, another member, will reply to your thread. Maybe someone who … agrees with you that it is okay to say what you did.

Maybe you can start a thread with a different title so to get more attention to your thread, attention to this question of the saying we are discussing here. It may be a good idea, or not. Your choice.

I will answer your question before I withdraw from your thread (hoping, again, that others will answer you here or in a new thread). You asked: “all I wanna understand is why he could do the cutting right away even 1 hour before we were laughing together in a video call and joking around!”?

Because your last joke (defined as a statement you didn’t mean, that you will kill him) … wasn’t funny.
