where do you draw the line between being judgmental and opinionated? earlier today someone made a comment to me saying "i could do better". not only did it hurt my feelings, but i also got a little angry. i understand that that statement could come off as being judgmental but at the same time that was her honest opinion. a majority of the time i don't let comments like that bother me, but in this case i was so offended because she doesn't even know him. plus i realize that this is coming from a woman who expects her man to call her how many times a day, be constantly all over her whenever they see each other, be invited to every single outing, plus full weekend and mid-week quality time together. i remember having this talk with a friend of mine about a year ago because i said the same thing to him. in response he said that no matter how people may believe a certain person is right or wrong for him, only he decides because he's living in the relationship and only he knows what's best for him in terms of happiness. everyone can do better. there's always someone better out there, but why search for them when you have something good right in front of your face. ugh. i think too much.

over the years i've realized that i may never be in agreement with my friends' boyfriends/girlfriends. maybe i just have high expectations for them and i want them to have the best of everything. i've come to accept the fact that whoever they are with is who they think is best for them. why can't she see that about me? i'm so bothered right now.
