Bad Decisions

So, there are these people I know. It’s gonna be one of those stories. If I get bold I’ll publish this after everything happens, and if that’s the case then you’re seeing this and it already happened. I’m publishing this ahead of time. Those who will lol can lol. Everyone else can stfu. <3 This may or may not be wrong. I admit no wrong doing, only a possible misinformation on my part. =D

So, lemme lay out the people. There are five of them. Ones a kid who always tries (and fails) to stay neutral in any drama near him; a couple who have gone out for a good long while, having survived some strife with friends over the consummation (I think that’s the right word) of their relationship – they know what’s expected of them (IE they know how to act according to socially established norms… that damned social contract my English teacher yelled about for a while during senior year of high school) … they’ve been at it a while. Then you have the other couple, who’s entire relationship is based entirely upon sex and cling; neither person has a huge amount of people skills or (American) societal training as one is (was, until the relationship) a computer genius (which doesn’t leave much time for people interaction, mind you) and the other is of foreign origin and just hasn’t been here long enough to pick everything up (I call no fault on either person).  They’re all friends, and I love them all dearly.

But, to the story. There are a couple other people I’m inviting to this party (that the story may yet take place at) but they’re (for this story) irrelevant.

I should like to take this tiny ass paragraph to state that much of this could be wrong, mischaracterized, hilarious, true, or any combination of the aforementioned adjectives. I take no fault for it. If all else fails, it will be a hilarious reminder of what could have been; if it is true, it should be a reminder of what not to do.

So, I need not bore you with details, but what it boils down to is my good friend (of the poorly constructed relationship couple) deciding to throw his future away (of course he doesn’t see it that way…) to go to the country that his newly found girlfriend is from, because they’re so much in love, and the country is… well… fantastic or some shit. Fear not, I’ve already done my bid of yelling at him for it… of course the girlfriend won. It’s frankly kind of disgraceful to have someone whom he has known for years (6-7?) and had a major hand in his being a functioning member of society (He didn’t pull those people skills out of his own ass, you know… He pulled them from mine) lose in a major discussion that will affect the outcome of the rest of his life to someone whom he has known for little more than a year. Apparently it’s (sex > best friend). That’s the beat down version of the story. Now, on to the party.

The party is simple. I’m returning to town for a weekend to visit my mom, hang out with some friends, ya know – chill. Pretty simple, nothing fancy involved. But, as of present, I’m at a loss as to whether or not to invite the couple, because I’m pissed at both of them and I have a feeling if I invite the dude of the two, he’s just gonna sit in the corner and fucking text her all night or something. I have a second feeling that if they’re there together, they’re gonna end up sitting in a corner cuddling all night or something retarded and I’m not going to get to hang out with my friend. Either way, shit sucks.

Given that I don’t DO drama, I’ll probably make some drastic decision at the last minute and I’ll look just like the asshole that everyone has known and loved. At this rate, I’d better come up with something quick, cause I’m fresh out of options that seem good.

The Importance of Trust in a Relationship

The most important thing, above all else, that can hold a relationship together in the roughest of times is trust. Without trust between you and your significant other (Whatever that means for you), then you have very little. There are times where people try to test others, so as to verify their integrity as a person. This can be fine amoung friends and collegues, but it is always inapropriate amoung those who are a couple, be it married or otherwise, unless one of them suspects the other of some grave misconduct, where they would bring in a 3rd party to do the checking around not doing it themselves. 

But, before you ever attempt to break someones trust, just ask yourself “If I do this, what will we have afterwards?” The answer is nothing. Trust is the foundation of a lifelong relationship, be it friendly or something more, and if you take that away, you no longer have a relationship. You have two people no longer with much in common, whether or not you realise it at the time.
