Being an emotional support animal isn't the same as an actual friendship. Friendships are give and take. An emotional support animal is there to soak up the feels and then ignored when said person is happy or completely disregarded when said person is in a better place in their life.

It's pretty rough and it is a hard enough pattern to recognize that some people never understand the difference.

We can agree to disagree, but I am happy that you apparently haven't experienced it before.

Nah I do get that, I'm just saying that this was OP's first meeting with this person; there hasn't been time for a give and take relationship to be established yet.

Maybe she is actually just really sad and lonely and when it turned out OP was a halfway-decent guy she thought hey, maybe I could actually use just a normal friend for once.

On the other hand yeah maybe she's just a manipulative whore and OP is hideous to behold and however much money he had on him simply wasn't enough lol.
