Disposable relationships

Mar 07, 2006 19:32

We live in a world of disposable relationships, we dont know our neighbors, we spend to much time with our computers and not enough time with people. We marry for the moment and if it gets too tough, we get divorced and move on. Or we never marry and just live with an assortment of people. We dont wait to get married, we are lucky if we wait until the second date to jump into bed. We strive to fight the feeling of being lonely, even more afraid to be alone. Instant gratification. We buy what we want when we want it, even if we can not afford it. And I am surrounded by selfish, self centered people. People who claim to be my friend, but really just use my listening and laid back personality to make them feel good about themselves. It is funny because not all of them realize how selfish and self serving they are. They don't ever hear the me, me me in their speech. And there are others who believe they are the givers in our relationship. That they are the ones listening to me and bending over backwards to keep me happy. Ahh the twisted and demented world we live in. I guess I could ask myself if I am the selfish one and the one taking advantage, and there is only one friend that i feel that way about, and because I do, I try very hard to listen to her when she is talking, to let her vent when she needs.
it.

I am very angry at a couple I know right now. They have been together for seven years and just recently decided to call it quits. Well she decided to call it quits. And the more I think about it, the more angry I get about our society. He loves her but started to take her for granted, wanting more than she could give, and not treating her like the princess. So she found it somewhere else. It was too much work to make things work, and something had to give in her life. So why not the seven year relationship, because she didn;t love him any more. So she told him. So what did he do, lied to her and said, fine i don;t love you either. So lets sell our home, and move on. Just that easy. For her. For him. So they say. Man I wish it was that easy for me. I have been on caitious for weeks because I don't want Brian and I to be in the rocky and uncomfortable place we were last year at this time. I never want to feel that again, and I know I will but just not this year. Everything else is so good, I dont need and dispite what Brian says, I do not create drama in my life. I like my life, and I that is why I don't want to help this friend out and let her crash at my house as she throws away her relationship. I will not have her ruin my relationships because she is in a destroying mood. She doesn't like Brian, he doesn't really care for her, and why should I live in discomfort because of that. She made a choice and why should I help her do something I think is wrong. She won't listen to me, so I could never talk to her, she came unglued the last time I talked to her because I agreed with Brian about something.
