A friend of mine made a statement (on a post, made by a band I follow) showing his support. He posted that he had his tickets to their upcoming show. I did the same, seemed like a nice, positive thing to do. Less than five minutes later his girlfriend charms her way into the conversation, to correct him stating that she had purchased his ticket for him.
Little gestures of disregard like this make me so angry. Emasculating, or belittling someone who means a lot to you. It's f**king stupid. I want to shout at them, "Do you have any idea what you mean to that person? You're so lucky and you're ruining it all on your own."
I hate that I have a button like that, that causes me to over react but realistically we all do.
I furiously typed out a post to share after I read her emasculating, rude comment. being reminded of all the things that could annoy one about this specific
"wow. that's cool. How nice of you, Chang. He would probably lose his balls anyway, it's better that you hold onto them i suppose."
Ugg...What a dame.The small, corner of my brain that controls reason, caused me to debate for 5 minutes, but inevitably, delete my harsh words, and take to the almighty blog instead.
When did the unspoken loyalty between friends disappear? Or the maturity to treat your loved one with respect, and help build them up, rather than make jokes at their expense and embarrass them. These are small gestures, you may think don't matter, or things you dismiss, saying,"well he never mentioned it after", or "if she was mad I would know for sure"
Not everyone is the same. I, for one do not want to live in a world where "If I wasn't happy I wouldn't be here" is acceptable. or "I love you, until further notice" is the attitude taken toward someone you care about
I worry that the world is becoming too cold. Romance and Love are all but dead in a world that revolves around money and self preservation.
I agree wholeheartedly with you, April! You don't put down or belittle the people you love. I thought that was common practice? But I guess common sense might be lacking these days :/
ReplyDeleteHehe I read the other day an obituary for common sense. I'd have to find it...
ReplyDeleteMaybe love is becoming a little cold in a world where social interactions now depend on technology. I've been in the situation where I have said "If I wasn't happy I wouldn't be here." It was the total opposite. I wasn't happy and I felt like I couldn't leave. Any ways, that's a different story!
I agree with you, you can't embarrass your lover like that! They are your partner in crime, they are supposed to be your best friend! If you can't respect the one you "love", then that speaks miles for a potential friendship.
