[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6705100, member: 5143"] The reason I said that is because I've observed her continually telling her boyfriend that he's being a idiot when he goes off on a tangent that makes no sense at all. I've seen her attempt to diffuse at least 5 other situations where he almost blew up and she said something like "ok, you need to stop talking about this now. Let's discuss something else." Or "ok, you need to shut up right now." I realized that she was perfectly aware that he blew up for no good reason and actively tried to prevent that. I knew that somewhere inside her she understood that something is wrong with him. I was hoping to appeal to that side of her. To the part at the back of her mind that screams "this isn't right." It was a 50/50 chance. Either she said "you're right. I've been concerned about it for a while now but I was afraid to say anything. Sorry, maybe I can convince him to calm down in the future." or she got angry and said "screw you, my boyfriend is right to hate you. I agree with him." She chose the latter but it could have been the former. It certainly wasn't meant to antagonize anyone. It was meant to do exactly what it did. Determine whether there was enough of her that was reasonable to continue to have them as friends. [/QUOTE]
