I think the reason monde is lying about his feelings for lily is that he is trying to get a side piece named bev

I know he’s an asshole

so you beg him to be with you and still call him names thats no way to get a man to be with you start treating him nice and them you may get him and he can visit you and be your boy friend

bev, she only appreciates guys who are abusive to her. she's been on this forum for many years and it's a pattern everyone has seen.
