Don't Let Your Friends Be Your Downfall

I just want to point something out to each and everyone of my readers. Not everyone you think is your friend is truly your friend. SOMETIMES your “friends” will hurt you more than help you. Picture this, you and your boyfriend/girlfriend are doing great, you’re getting along well, spending plenty of quality time together, etc. Then one day you share with your friends something that has been bothering you about your mate and their first reaction is “Girl, if I was you, I’d leave him.” Or “Man, you need to leave that girl alone.” And now you’re second guessing your relationship and wondering if you really should leave him or her. Now first of all, if your relationship is built on the right foundation you’d go talk to your mate FIRST and not only that a TRUE friend would say “Why don’t you talk to him/her about it if it’s really bothering you?” Bam! Right there. End of discussion. Point blank period. My point in all this is you need to be able to discern who is truly for you and who isn’t. The saying really is true, misery loves company and sometimes that miserable person will disguise him/herself as a friend. Just be careful because not everyone one you think is for you wants to see you happy or watch your relationship succeed if theirs is crappy or they aren’t in one. Word to the wise, keep your relationship issues between you and your mate.
