[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 6705123, member: 891"] Nothing ever comes out right or comes across right on the internet. Whenever you try to make a point that has emotions and conflict in it - half the people will agree with you somewhat randomly and the other half will see all the reasons you're being a jerk. Either side could be right or wrong or both. Its really kind of random unless you've taking some very good persuasive writing courses in your time, write for advertising or political campaigns - or otherwise know how to well convey an emotional point in a pure text format. So... I would just take BOTH the people that agree with you and those that disagree with a grain of salt. The only real takeaway is the very fact that you were motivated to make the thread was reason enough to end the relationship with that other person. The other 37 pages of this thread... really don't need to exist. The only answer you needed I think was given in one of the first three replies or so. Another good takeaway is to NEVER get involved or insert yourself between a person and their significant other. It doesn't matter if one or both are friends - it never ends well. In fact its a major cause of violent crime because it often gets misconstrued in ways that strike to our rather less evolved emotional center. So the only time you get involved there is when you need to - totally not relevant in this conversation (domestic abuse prevention). [/QUOTE]
