Lately in my life I have had to deal with the certain immature acts of teenage girls and their boyfriends. Or rather, ex-boyfriends.
I don't understand the concept of "stolen boyfriends." How do you steal another person? Especially if the person willingly made a decision. There was no rape, nor any of the "I Control You" speeches in my situation. I just happened to appear to him. Its not my fault he already "belonged" to my best friend. Problem is, we do not own other people. Slavery in most of the world ended a long time ago.
The story goes, my best friend, well she's not my friend anymore, was treating her boyfriend rather badly. She's into this whole dominant sadomasochistic relationship. He was not into that. In fact, the only reason he's submissive in anyway is because he doesn't think doing things himself is "easy". Very sloth-like. So that was his first mistake. His second was making her believe it was okay with him for her to run his life. She told him what to do all the time. Disobedience was actually punished too. This girl, also had an anorexia problem, of which when she was on a diet, he had to go onto one too. When she wanted to go shopping, he went to, and his feelings didn't really matter. Now, I may seem biased but, thats just how their relationship was. It'd be nice if he enjoyed doing whatever he wanted. Yet, thats not how it was beneath the surface.
When he told me that she had carved "bitch" in his lower back with a knife, I became alarmed. I tried to blind my eyes by believing he was okay with it. Yet, I knew by the way he grimaced when he showed me the defacement (thats how I see it, especially since it was not desired nor asked for) he was not okay with her activities. He wasn't okay with her tying him up, and beating him either. Beating him and beating him till he was in tears. I think thats when my superhero tendency set in.
So, they fight a lot already, and I hang out with them more because I was tired of going to shows (avoiding Kevyn more specifically). Then he starts to look at me with starry eyes. He starts to see all these things in me that he misses, while his relationship deteriorates. He flirts shamelessly, only I do not return the favors. Then he comes out and says "I like you." And its all downhill from there. Now, her anorexia takes a back seat and goes away mysteriously, which still seems suspect to me. Call me Nick Carraway, but my father told me not to judge people because I was born priveledged.
Then, we talk more without her. I had begun to feel tiny sparks for him, but nothing big enough to deter me from trying to fix their relationship. I tried, believe me, I tried to keep them together. Yet, he broke up with her on his own. With no persuasion from me.
Thats when, her daggers took point at me. Suddenly, it was my fault, despite him telling her I did nothing to make him do anything. Despite the fact that I tried really hard to keep them together. That didn't matter.
Long story short, she hates me. she lashes out. She says horrible things about me, and convinces people I "stole" her boyfriend. Yet, those who have logical minds remember, people are not owned by others, and people leave of their own accord.
Its taken a lot to get to this point, but here is my point. Why are girls/women so blind? Why do we think with our hearts, and not our minds? Love blinds anyone just the same, but so much so that we have to hate eachother, for a boy who probably wont even matter in the next year? Why must we mobilize armies of friends against one another? Why can't we just not like eachother and move on? Why is there so much drama? I guess thats the reason why most plays are based off of personal experience, because there isn't a better stage than your own front door.
This is a horrible social trend. I wish that girls, all of us girls, would WAKE UP, and remember that true love never leaves. True love has no feelings for other people. And stop thinking after 6 months you're getting married. Life is too long, and there are too many other boys in the world to think its forever everytime. We have to stop the naivety, in order to even attempt at a real relationship with anyone. Its selfish nature that drives most people, but its selfless nature, that keeps us together.

My ex and I were verbally and emotionally abusive to each other... So when my friend "stole" him away, I was more shocked that he left than actually sad that our relationship was over. Now that we're not together, both of us are happier - unless we have an extended conversation with each other, then we end up flashing the claws (we enjoy hurting each other, mentally. No, it's not healthy, and it actually makes me glad that I'm not staying around here, because hopefully my distance will exterminate our relationship to each other).

Well well. Heck yeah your best friend is crazy. I guess she thought that if she could dominate him: mind, body soul, he would stay. A lot of people have this stupid dipection that if you treat your lover horrible, they will stay because they are prone to it . A lot of people choose bad people instead of good ones knowing that this person will treat us wrong. Then when some of us get a good person, we treat them horrible because in our previous relationship, we were treated bad. Its good you are with him but be careful.
