Friends and their advice
| Wed, 07-28-2004 - 11:50am |
I've always cherished friends' advice. I figure they have a different look on things from the outside and may be able to give me a different perspective of things. I've sometimes followed it and sometimes just used the advice to make a final decision. Lately, though, I'm not too sure...I was told an untruth the other day about my bf. since it came from what I thought was a reliable source, I confronted him about it. He was hurt, not that I asked becasue our main goal for our relationship is communication, but that someone would tell things about him that weren't true (it was something very minor and the source was mutual friendsl). He produced the receipt and showed me his checkbook to prove that I was given misinformation. I apologized. Told him I did trust him, and that I was furious for someone trying to make me doubt him.
Then there have been a couple of different things that have happened where I have been forgiving and/or understanding about something that has happened and was told by friends that I should have taken a much more hostile approach to the situation.
I just don't know what to do any more. their opinions and advice have been good in the past.
Is it because I'm extremely happy with him? Is it because he dotes on me and makes me the center of his life?
I just don't understand.

Is it because I'm extremely happy with him? Is it because he dotes on me and makes me the center of his life?
Yes...that could very well be the reason, and likely the reason.
Welcome to the board!
I can believe that some people in their jealousy would try to sabatoge a friend's happiness.
