Nice work.


BTW - I'll call you at the mall and yell at you if you want.

A bad relationship is better than none at all, at least you learn something in the end.

Good point; however, in the case of my sister's friend I think it's worse to stay with an abusive person than to be alone. She is holding to a mindset I've been guilty of using as an excuse to stay with a creep...it's better than being alone. I tend to wonder at what point does the relationship go from being a learning curve to a detriment to your emotional wellbeing?

I said bad, not abusive. Don't get me started on abusive relationships

You know it took me a long time that to learn that of the six buttons on my car radio, sometimes the best station is reached by turning the whole thing off... If there's nothing good on...

Likewise relationships.

Nice article msjones. In relation to the title of this thread, I believe God created man for woman and woman for man, but in the case of your sister and sister's friend's boyfriends, trying to control a woman's every move and abusing her isn't the actions of a man in my opinion. Just a little boy that's scared everyone will abandon him.

Wonderful insights, msjones! I really enjoyed reading your article. Actually, something I needed to read. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work, msjones. I like your people watching skills, and how you identify them. It reminded of something that I would do!

Awesome job msjones21, I especially liked the line:

"No, their relationships transcend all boundaries of "normal" and you find yourself admiring, and maybe even envying, their love."

That is so completely dead on. I don't think it's the fact that people are uncomfortable with what they don't consider "normal" relationships, they're just jealous that they can't feel comfortable enough with themselves to date anyone outside of their defined social strata, be it a goth or someone of a different nationality.
