A Response to the Happy Couple Entry
Sometimes a happy couple is not what it seems to be.
Sometimes when family and friends don't like the s. other, that may be a sign that Somethin' Ain't Right.
I've kept my mouth shut before because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Others have kept their mouths shut when they didn't want to hurt my feelings. But what also hurts is knowing that you can't be honest with your friends about what may be in their best interests. If someone you love is with a person that sets off your Spidey Senses, SAY SOMETHING! What can hurt even worse is hearing something like, "Yeah, I'm glad you finally broke up with him for doing that to you! I never liked him in the first place... I wanted to tell you, but you seemed so happy..."
And if one of your friends is trying to tell you that your current relationship is possibly unhealthy, LISTEN! Friends need to be honest with each other in matters regarding the heart (or libido). Mostly because when an organ other than your brain is controlling your body, it isn't very rational.
Visualize: You are following a hot new car on the interstate, because you dig that car and you want it bad. So you're tailgating along super fast, and if you've ever followed too closely, you know that ALL you can see is the car in front of you. So your friend calls you from a few cars back saying, "Hey, it looks like that car you're following is headed straight for a concrete barricade! Maybe you better ease up and get your head out of that guy's tailpipe for just a minute to reevaluate this situation."
And you say, "Hah! I know what you're up to! You don't want me to be anywhere near this car because you don't have a nice car- you're jealous! I don't see any concrete barricades from here! All I see is a sweet set of tail lights that would never do me no wrong!"
But, seeing as how your friend has a totally different view of the situation, it is quite possible that you are headed for a wreck, so you need to check yo'self.
And most importantly, would you ever be friends with a person that:
-hit you
-used you
-degraded you
-stole from you
-lied to you
-was controlling of you
-segregated you from your friends or family
-pressured you to do anything you were uncomfortable doing
-or made you feel bad about your beliefs, feelings, body, and mind?
No? That's true, what a stupid question for me to ask. No one would make friends with someone like that... So, NEVER let your boy/girlfriend treat you that way.
