Yes they are Tuc,
There are two particular people who were in my life in recent times. One was my old Boss and the other was an old GF.
My Old Boss wasn't just a lying, insecure, two faced hypocrite and bully at work, but he was also like that in his personal life. He was also a major manipulator. Thought nothing about asking you for constant help and support, but would cut your throat for a couple of Brownie points. He cheated on his wife several times, got in trouble for sexually harrassing other young female members of staff, had a disgraceful attitude towards young members of staff, and was scared shitless of The MD (So for all his pretence at being a Hardman, he was a coward as the MD was a REAL hardman at Business and had this guys card marked early). One day, I just looked at him and thought "I can see no redeemable features in you - You are a Bad Bastard, I have no respect for you - but you live one sad, empty, and insecure life to behave like that and I'm glad I'm not you".
My ex GF lied and cheated throughout the entire relationship. Another hypocrite. Took me for a right fool. However, just glad she left. Her life revolved 100% around herself and from what I hear, she has turned out exactly how I predicted "A sad, lonely girl with nobody and nothing thanks to her ways - but will still never change".
There are Bad Bastards out there Tuc and unfortunately nobody can escape them all the time. The key is to sus them out quickly and not to lower yourself to their standards. They always get what they deserve in the end.
