I agree. Completely. Yes, sometimes issues have shades of gray. And sometimes they don't.
I've tried to express my opinion about this - because I see it having the ability to hurt everyone involved and some innocent bystanders. But I've been told I can't really comment because I don't know the full story.
Well, I think I know the most important bits.
And I've said so much now, I probably have lost that friendship. But really, how I count a friendship is if I'd have someone in my home. And now, with this person, I'm not so sure. I'd hesitate if my husband were home. Not because I don't trust him. But because I have no desire to put him in a situation where he might have to fend off another woman's advances. Especially in light of the fact that our marriage certificate and child aren't enough to render him "unavailable".
I don't like the argument that you don't know the full story. The story is he is taken. Anything else is the involved parties trying to justify their actions. In my opinion there is no justification.
It's sad that the situation has got to the point where friendships are effected in this way. I'm sorry that it's effected you in this way. I think you've done the right thing as far as all parties are concerned and I respect you for it. Anyone who claims that you weren't a friend or anything along those lines just doesn't know what they're saying.
Thank you. 'Cause those comments are starting to bug me. And it's not that I'm without sin, as someone recently pointed out.
But I'm having a hard time considering someone who acts that way as a friend. It should be my choice who I have on my friends list. I'm not saying she deserves to be publicly stoned. Just that I'm not sure I want to be friends with someone who's morals and values are so incomprehensible to me.
Yes, I don't like saying what I've said because I've stuffed up in the past and done wrong. But (yes the almighty but) I've always prefered to be honest with people and let them know how I feel and why I feel it. Sometimes I'm a bit too brutal. When someone knows they're doing wrong then I don't think there is anything wrong with verbalising it.
A lot of people got hurt because it came too close to home for their liking. Dealing with what they have to say to her is one of those consequences that has to be dealt with. Unfortunate, but at this point in time my sympathy is limited.

Anyhoo, I note I purged you for no particularly good reason, sorry 'bout that.
