I have always wondered why love is blind.
I have a friend who was with her ex for about seven months. He was 22 with no job, lived at home with his mum and spent all his benefit money on going to the pub. My friend was infatuated with him, still is actually. She was having a rough time when they got together; she had just lost her job and wasn’t getting on with her parents, so going to see him was probably an escape for her…But he was awful! She couldn’t even look at another guy without him going mad, and all the while ha was still constantly texting his ex girlfriend!
She would admit what he was like and said she didn’t know why she put up with him but she never finished it. He did, about six weeks ago. Since then my friend has got a new job and her own place – coincidence, I think not!
So I go to see her new place on Monday, because I haven’t seen her for a couple of weeks and he is on the phone, giving her grief about who she is friends with on Facebook, but they aren’t together. She thinks he wants them to be back together and he will be nicer to her then. I however, think it’s a little ironic that he has appeared back on the scene a week after she moved into her new house and the day she started her new job.
I am just torn between wanting to shake some sense into her and not wanting to sound like I’m telling her how to live her life. U-(
