Someone you love is with a fucking terrible partner. It's almost impossible to communicate that without touching awful nerves, so what do you do? You tell her your opinion and then you have to sit back and watch in horror while your friend's self-esteem is destroyed or she's physically assaulted or worse. Your friend knows you're there for them. Your friend needs and gets your support when she has two black eyes and a restraining order. And then she decides what he did was okay. And then she tries to explain it to you. So you tell them your opinion and then you have to sit back and watch in horror some more. What a brutal life-sucking cycle. Men and Women alike - please actually pay attention when people who love you don't support your relationship. We want you to be happy and you're not. Just listen to that. ugh
