Shut Up Already

I abhor people who give their two cents, when they don't owe the store clerk anything.

I hate outside comments of what, 'things should be like' and insanely egotistical viewpoints based on a very small understanding of a very large problem. I despise narrowed opinions, that are neither constructive or helpful, but rather just stupid and troubling.

I am deeply amused by how easily people's understanding of their own relationships change by taking into consideration an anecdote conjured up by some dipshit who just read every volumn of Cosmo, cover to cover.
It seems to me that we are not the ones who are ruining our relationships, but rather we are letting the fat yaps of know-it-alls do the ruining for us.

Why do women flock to purchase magazines that divulge seductive sex tips and the perfect outfit to wear to their boyfriend's hockey game? Why do we lavish our loved ones in material objects that are really only a presentation of how much money we are willing to spend on a stupid trinkit? Why do we acknowledge comments and opinions from silly little people?

I refuse to let other people's gabble override the development and perfection of my relationship.

Pillowfeather wishes for a romantic gesture, a Romeo and Juliet story to mend her broken relationship. Perhaps what she fails to realise is that Romeo was nothing more than a horny teenager with a giant hardon and Juliet was a naive little girl who's 'love' paralled the desperation of a star-sick crazed teeny-bopper.

Perhaps we need to stop jabbing eachother with snyde comments about relationships we have no part of. Perhaps we need to become more tolerant and more accepting of human flaws.

And to Pillowfeather:

Forgiveness is a choice. It doesn't mean what your partner did is OK. How much you trust your partner is in part about what your partner does, and in part a function of whether you have confidence to handle it if he disappoints you again.
If you can't forgive, let go. When you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences. If you continue to throw the past in your partner's face, you will eventually run him off. Is it fair? No, because your partner started this, yet you have wound up having to participate in the cleanup.
