the art of taking the high ground
Oh I am sure glad that I have learnt my lesson over the years. Never talk about your friends partners....ever!
My b/f has been on/off with her partner for a while now. When we went out a couple of weeks back, it was definately all over and done with. She was not exactly being mean about her...but you know what I mean. After a few drinks your tongue gets a bit loose. Anyway others at the table were offering their opinions of what to do and why the relationship should be over. But I stayed mute. Well, I said i'd be there for her and I'd support her and all that but I did not get involved in slagging her partner or any of that kind of thing.
So the next week I get a txt to go out with heaps of reference to 'we'....I ask 'Who is we?' and she says its her and her partner. So I'm wondering what is going on. Then we get together and they are very much back together. I am so glad that I kept quiet. In the past I probably would have said my opinion. But with hindsight and maturity I now understand that everybody has their own life to live. What do I know???
Then I called her the other night and they are off again - she says for good. Now all I have to do is be a good friend and help her through it. I haven't said anything nasty (not that I want to anyway). Oh, I wouldn't want to be part of this dating scene again for anything. Not that I would worry if I was single - but I'd hate to have to go out and look for a partner or whatever.
I just wish that she could 'find'herself and not worry about past life sessions to help her.
On a completely different note - just heard that David Hicks has been charged. God, I feel for his family and him. What an ordeal to be put through and a shame on my country. No one should have to wait 5 years for their charges or trial. Its a disgrace.
Its also my brothers 21st today! I can remember the day he was brought home. Then its my bubs birthday in 2 weeks and my daughters in 6 weeks. I am not going overboard with presents. But it will be fun that she can have her first 'proper' birthday with friends from school over.

and yes, i too am ashamed of the david hicks event.
i'm horrified by the U.S. and feel impotent to change things despite the fact that I'm a citizen.
