    dear wonder woman

    No need for so many words - her BF was nearly killed - in an accident where partner was involved, and then partner decided to immediately cover his own behind - even sent them the bill to cover his expenses incurred from the incident.

    Many of us expect others to be helpful and not be selfish in the face of possible tragedy. Not so much from a stranger but certainly from friends and family.

    wonder woman I wonder if you will be this philosophical when your turn comes for this type of situation. Will you be emotionless despite all circumstances?

    When your turn comes you will know.
