If you were to ask me why I distrusted women, two incidents would be relevant.
The first was when I was in my first year of junior high school, I was deceived by a girl with a false confession.
The reason was a punishment game between girls or something, well, I don’t know the details.
I was still a kid at the time, and I questioned the girl who didn’t show up at the meeting place.
I didn’t want to get into a fight with her, I just wanted to know if I had made a mistake, if she got the wrong person, if I was at the wrong meeting place, or if it was a prank in the first place.
But in the end, that incident led to the misunderstanding that I was a [stalker who stalks girls] and I had to live my life being kept away from girls ever since.
In hindsight, even that incident was still better than the ones that followed.
The second incident occurred at the beginning of my eighth grade year.
My parents were getting divorced.
This is when I found out that I was not my father’s child and that my father and I were strangers.
When my parents began to have a disagreement, I took my father’s side.
I didn’t find out that my father was a stranger until later, but even if I had known that, I would have taken his side from the beginning.
First of all, it was obvious that my mother did not want to get custody of me.
Also, this mother never listened to me when I was suspected of being a stalker.
She didn’t even listen to what her own son had to say, saying things like, [What have you done] [You can’t face the neighbors from now on] Listen to your mother] and [You should stay home and study outside of school].
I guess it had something to do with the fact that both my mother and father worked in separate households for reasonably good companies, and she showed almost no interest in me after I failed the entrance exams for kindergarten and elementary school.
The only person she cared about was my younger sister, who was able to enroll in a famous private elementary school.
My father is very busy with his work and travels a lot, so he is often not at home. To be honest, I didn’t really know what he was thinking, so I didn’t really care about him in that sense.
When I heard that they were getting divorced, all I could think was that I knew this from the beginning.
When I heard that my mother started to imply that they were getting a divorce and that her husband was neglecting the family, I thought for a minute that my father, who travels a lot, might be having a work wife.
So when my parents’ disagreements began to surface, I surreptitiously took a peek at their phones.
After all, when I learned that the only one who was actually cheating was my mother, I finally decided to turn against her.
Yes, it’s not like I wanted to take sides with my father.
My mother brought a lawyer to the divorce settlement, and she came up with the idea of 30 million yen in alimony.
But I had given him a copy of my mother’s phone data in advance, and suggested something to him.
And on that day, I had called the boss of the company with whom she was having an affair and his wife and had them standing by.
Our conversation would not have gone so well with just my mother’s phone data and my unsympathetic father’s pursuit.
In fact, my mother got upset and started saying things that were not true.
She was usually hysterical, but at that moment, I thought she had finally lost her mind.
However, the other party’s wife was even more furious than that, and she was gathering evidence without caring about what she had to do.
The anger and vindictiveness of a betrayed woman was more intense than I had imagined.
In the end, the lawyer that the wife had brought in was forced to demand more than double the amount of compensation from us.
In addition, at that time, my mother easily confessed that I was not my father’s child.
I can still see the face of my mother’s cheating partner’s wife, who looked so happy at the time, and the face of my father, who looked like he was about to cry.
My sister was my mother’s follower, so she went along with her.
Well, she never made fun of me, and we got along well with each other.
I was worried about whether I could pay the alimony while paying the expenses of such a famous private school for my sister, but the money was transferred to my account.
Apparently, my father paid it with his pension money.
When the money came in, my father, who is not related to me by blood, said sadly, [This money will be used for your future, no matter how much it costs, you can choose your career path as you like].
As a result of this incident, I became distrustful of people, especially women.
Well, that’s not too unreasonable, right?
