Yesterday night, I was having a conversation with my darling friend Maureen. She is having a boy she's madly in love with come and live with her soon. Ofc, she's looking forward to the sex, but also to the closeness and comfort another person brings. I'm happy for her happiness, but I'm also worried. She just ended a rather bad relationship and now she's almost jumping into this one. I know the boy that's going to be moving in with her, I talk to him often and I just...I don't know if I like it or not. This boy is sweet. He cares very much for Maureen, but he's not in love with her like she is with him. I don't resent him for that nor do I expect him to fall in love with her. What concerns me is that he may be "using" her for a place to live. He's getting kicked out of the home he's in now and you must admit, I have reasons, VALID reasons for my concern. What if he's just using her? I honestly don't think Maureen would care. She's so very much in love with him. I care, though. I do love Maureen, though. I want her to be happy. If this is what it takes, then I wish her the best. I just can't shake that feeling of "He's going to hurt her, Melinda." I know Maureen. Even if I tell her this, she won't really care. She'll say, "I know, but I love him." Sometimes, she drives me crazy. I love her to death, but she needs to worry about her own heart, too, not just the hearts of others. You can't fully love someone with a broken and shattered heart. I didn't learn that until I was in my 20's, though. This boy, though...he worries me. He told Maureen that he doesn't want a girlfriend yet because of a bad relationship in the past, but he told me that if I was ever single, he'd steal me away. :| This bothers me. A lot. Maureen is the girl he's going to live with and he's trying to hit on me. I'm NOT ok with the guy that my best friend is in love with hitting on me. Plus, I don't want MY boyfriend to be charged with murder. :) In all seriousness, I'm worried about her. She was so depressed and near suicidal after her first relationship went south, I don't want to see her like that again. She confided in me last night that she's worried about getting pregnant. =\ Use protection?? I told her though, if she did get pregnant, I'd help her and even be a foster mother to her child for awhile. Granted, I'd have to get Dustin's approval and help with that, but he knows how much I love Maureen. He cares, too. Now, I have the mother of all headaches and I have to go into town. Ciao my lovelies. :x <3
