This is your daily reminder that, if he abandons you at social events/family or friend functions, it only means one thing: he does not give a f—k about you.

He’s showing that he could care less. His message is: you’re not with me for the long-run, only for the short-run. That is why he’s not ensuring you authentically bond with his friends/family; he does not care if they get to know you. Why would they bother, after all, if you’re just a placeholder?

He’s also being an inconsiderate asshole, expecting you to do all the necessary legwork to socialize/bond with his family/friends/colleagues. If he’s not present when you have him meet your social circle — same mentality.

It’s also a shit-test, used on you to see how much of a pushover you are, doing all the legwork for him. He thinks, “Will she got out of her way to please me and make an impression on my family/friends? Let’s see how hard she tries! I’m the PrIzE.”

If he does the opposite, however, be careful: he might be recruiting his social circle/family to lock you in.
