It's Not Just Me

Well folks, it's not just me that has these problems with other people.

First, my Dad sent me an email saying that he was getting divorced. After only having been married for 7 months. He said that they had no arguments, no fights, and no problems. My stepmom apparently has decided for the third time now in this time period that getting married was the wrong decision.

All I can say is, that is really horrible. Apparently, even if you get married, that doesn't guarantee that it won't happen. It doesn't guarantee that the other person won't have second thoughts. Even if there's no fighting and no arguments, that doesn't guarantee that it won't happen. Even if the other person has all your same core values and similar interests, it doesn't guarantee that it won't happen.

My god. I think that whatever was left of my opinion of marriage just took a nosedive.

Then, my friend Hanna told me that she was having the same problem. Her boyfriend of 3 years, who is in Taiwan right now, was doing that same aggravating thing that Ray had done: trying to get her to break up with him because he was too cowardly to do it himself. At my suggestion, she asked him directly if he wanted to break up. Unsurprisingly, the answer was yes. Surprisingly, then he had to go and be an asshole, suggesting they stay friends with benefits.

Seriously, I have HAD IT with people. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? Why do men think it's okay to end a relationship but still be friends with benefits?? It's completely disrespectful, and quite frankly, disgusting.


Now, more than ever, it is important for me to write this book. Still in the thinking stage... but I'll get there.
