I can see how this frustrates you. You have a dear friend that you care about who is messing up her life and she doesn't 'see' it.
I have a friend who has 'stuck' by a man for over 10 years of her life. He's already made it plain that he doesn't want her as a wife...a friend only. YET........she still will not move on. She's still helping him to 'build' his dream and vision in a business he has; trying to 'prove' herself to him as worthy and as the faithful one who always stayed beside him no matter what.
The bastard (I meant what I just said -- every letter and syllable
![Mad :mad: :mad:](/smilies/mad.gif)
) could care less about her feelings for him and it just plain ticks me off that she will not move on and get a new life outside of him. Geesh, what wall has to fall on her head.

Ain't that much love in Heaven or hell...surely not in hell.
Nychaelasymone, I cannot tell you how many times this man has hurt her and the tears she's cried over him over the years. He's been with other women -- up in her face. And still, she stands beside him. One of my biggest concerns for her is that she's going to reach retirement age some day and still not have known true love or knowing 'freedom' from this man. It scares me. I mean it scare me to see someone live like this all for a man who does not want her.
So nychaelasymone, I can relate to your frustration here. Your post has caused me to 'vent' too. I think many of us have a friend in this similar situation, where they accept any kind of relationship into their lives when they deserve so much better.
Life is too LONG to be that miserable.
Too long. There are too many things in this life to enjoy than to be miserable and stuck in a rut. And there are too many men who are 'straight' and love women and are good men to one woman than to be stuck with one who cannot or will not fulfill us. I know ...
As for our girlfriends who are lacking self esteem and good judgment, all we can do is pray for them.
