I love learning from other friends relationships, what to do and what not to do.
Mainly I like learning what not to do. I have a friend that is so good at humiliating her husband in front of everyone. She truly doesn’t care and what’s even sadder is that everyone, I mean everyone talks about how she scolds this poor guy like a child. Many times most of us cringe at the sight and just walk away because she’s just too much.
As of recent I made the mistake of saying what everyone in the room always thinks when she goes on one of her tirades. It’s not only humiliating for the dude but most of us feel awful at how much of a “ripping a new asshole,” she often rips on this guy many times over the smallest insignificant shit. Since then our friendship hasn’t been the same. Let me back track some. I cold heartedly admit I shouldn’t have never said anything. It was none of my business. I believe I said something like ease up on the guy we’re all having fun. The guy did nothing wrong but maybe not manage to do something “right” according to my friends expectations. Well she not only went off on me but kept on berating the poor guy. He more than likely apologized to her because he’s a nice guy. It’s just this awful cycle that has been going on for years and it’s awful to watch. Just reminds me of how easy it is to forget how good you have things in life. This man from what all of our friends have seen treats this woman right, I mean dotes on her and does all he can to take care of her. It’s sad when the other person can’t see how good things are until they fall apart. And sadly, I believe they will eventually come to a halt.
The biggest thing I learned time and time again from watching situations like this unfold is not to let the little things get in the way of life and being a good person to your love. And secondly, when married you’re not the mother so don’t scold your boyfriend, love and or husband like a child. Keep it light.
