Dear Dee:

You write so well! Your use  of English is  so impressive to me, “plethora of  online distractions”, “digitally stamp collecting other females”, are only two expressions that impress me.

You wrote: “Social media for all its  merits, causes significant problems for decent women like myself, because it  enables men like him to treat women in a disrespectful or disposable manner”- social media does  escalate this problem but it  existed massively  before social media, way before social media women have been viewed as  sexual objects, a multi billion industry is based  on this, the unfortunate pornographic industry, which  I wish did not exist.

It would  have been his benefit, great benefit to have you in his life, to  attend  to you as the valuable woman that  you are, to respect you and  appreciate you but unfortunately for  him he  is interested in distractions, and  like you wrote, he has a “plethora of online  distractions” available to him. Reads like he suffered in his childhood and I am sure his suffering was  valid and  is valid, that  he was  indeed mistreated. I suppose  the distractions he  is after  are about not feeling that pain.
