The truly unanswerable question.
I have a friend (no really, this is not about me) who constantly bickers about her relationship yet does nothing to change it. Everyone raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about. Truth is, if we were sitting in a room full of people right now everyone would have their hand raised...and we wonder why the divorce rate is 987,000% these days...
Women bitch. I am the first person to admit I'm an avid bitcher, but of course, I'll take this opportunity to say that I am always aware of how ridiculous my antics are (most of the time?), which leaves me asking for numerous reassurances and positive reinforcements. It's always a good time in womanland. As of recently, I've come across so many female friends who are unhappy with their relationships that I can barely keep up. It's ridiculous. Since when are you not in charge of your own life? Or are you ambivalent to actually being happy? I listen to so much blase persuasion of how happy they are that I could actually step in as a substitute girlfriend from time to time. I'm anti-girl-power, but I'm pro-do-what-makes-you-happy-even-if-it's-difficult. If you're a woman who does this, stop. Chances are you're both miserable, so just break up. I know it sucks, and you'll be depressed and then you'll probably have to get back together with that guy at least once or twice just because you were too sad to not be with him, only to eventually have an even harder breakup.
And hey, if you're lucky maybe you'll lose a couple of friends along the way. There's no better way to make your friends question your ability to function as a wise human being than to break up with someone, talk about how bad they were for you, then get back together with him in less than a week.
