I am sick of it. Sick sick sick sick sick sick sick siiiick of it. it is the second most frustrating thing to watch, you know. And I can't have a say in the matter because it's not about me. But I do have an opinion, and it's not a nice one.
Please don't hate me after this, I really love you!
Whatever happened to...? Why did this happen...? Why can't it go back to normal...? Things will never be the same, and you know that is so tragic. Truly I tell you that to punish the uninformed is cruel. Just because HE was a douche bag doesn't earn YOU or HER the pain of losing a friend. Is he that important
now that a relationship is worth destroying? She had no idea of the thing you kept hidden for months, kept hidden from everyone because HE said so. I'm proud that you could end it as soon as you did; he didn't trust her strength. But she does NOT deserve the cold shoulder. I have lost a few incredible friends, and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think,... SHIT! I mean, really. I know it really must suck, that he can go public with her easily without worrying about your feelings, but she can't control what he does. I know we all wish we could control what some people do, but that - unfortunately - is highly improbable. Think over her situation, and think of what you would have done, what you have done. I am not by any means wise, but even I can see this is getting ridiculous.
Ultimatums blow hard, at least some.
AND YOU! YOU MADE THE BIGGEST DICK MOVE OF THE CENTURY, DICK WAD! You should count yourself lucky that she even talks to you still. You should have been slapped continually for a good five hours without a word of complaint for what you put her through, and trust me, if anything half as bad as that happens again, you will be! If not by me then by someone else or numerous people. I gave the same warning to Kris, and I pulled him halfway across a table to enforce the warning. You have not seen me mad. I can hurt people, and I am strong, despite what you may or may not think.
Finally, you. You you you you you. You didn't tell me, and I don't think you intended to for a good long while. Though that is all water under the bridge, you must understand why I did not read the signs sooner. First of all, you said you held hands in front of me. Actually, you held hands in my presence, behind me. Also, I did not read that text message fully, and from what I read it sounded like a typical Josh text, and since you had not told me that you were together, that is what I assumed it was. I trust you to tell me things because you almost always do, that is why I was upset at the beginning. Finally, it's JOSH, and he said he would NEVER date because it causes awkward situations and stress. Well isn't that completely controversial? That is exactly what he said, so he is the last person I'd expect to see dating not one, but TWO of my best friends. What he is doing is so completely out of character I at first was almost shocked. I'm still a little shocked, but whatever. Water under the bridge, as I said.
This situation somewhat reminds me of an episode of Friends. Joey walks in on his girlfriend and best friend, Chandler, kissing. Joey forfeits his friendship with Chandler. Chandler tries and tries to earn Joey's forgiveness, but Joey refuses to give it. Seeking comfort from his new girlfriend, Chandler talks with her about his situation with Joey. She offers the usual advice, and holds his hand. Meanwhile, Joey contemplates giving Chandler another chance, and walks in on him kissing his (now ex) girlfriend again and his anger is renewed. Chandler runs down to Joey's apartment and again begs for forgiveness, and Joey reminds him of all the times he has been a good friend, including a story of when he had to hide in a box for hours when his house was being robbed to make sure Chandler didn't walk in during the heist. Chandler offers to sit in a box for as long as Joey wants if it means his forgiveness. Joey accepts, and Chandler promptly gets in a box and waits. A few hours go by, and during dinner Chandler makes a few comments and Joey says that he isn't taking the task seriously, and says that Chandler must not say a word until he says so. Eventually, Joey's ex-girlfriend - now Chandler's girlfriend - walks into the apartment, and timidly asks if she can speak with Chandler. Joey begrudgingly accepts and sits by as she crouches by the box. Remorsefully, she tells Chandler that she wouldn't want to ruin a friendship that's been years in the making. She breaks up with Chandler, and Chandler never says a word the whole time. As ex- girlfriend exits, Joey looks at Chandler's box and says, "Aw, go and get her!" and after asking if he's forgiven - which he is - Chandler jumps out of the box and runs to find his girlfriend before she leaves the city.
Happy endings? One can only hope.
Through thick and thin to all, Heather
(ps. please do not hold this against me, I really love you guys!)
