I have this girlfriend who's been dating her boyfriend for over a year now, but before we get into him, I'd like to start off with saying I've know her for over 4 years and I know she is one of those good hearted people who are rare. She is very sweet and not to mention extremely tolerant to ignorant people, i.e. her boyfriend. Considering I also am in a relationship I know how hard it may be to have the time to squeeze everyone in your live especially when you go to school, work and live on your own, its not that easy.But besides the fact that me and my girlfriend didn't see each other often I noticed she wasn't seeing anyone often, most of her friends had contact with her, and her prince charming made it impossible to talk to any other males but himself. I could see myself in her.
When it came for her birthday party in Niagara falls, I thought it would be a chance to spend some time with her and see whats going on in her world. Luckily she had invited a bunch of people. I was hoping that i could sneak away with her for a while just to ask hows it going, how come she's losing contact with everyone.
That night in Niagara, We all headed down to the casino, but as i walked in with my boyfriend she walked out crying and following her boyfriend, he didn't want to take part in anything when I ask him what the hell's going on he says"i don't wanna go clubbing, I just want to chill at the hotel" wow...its her birthday! That whole weekend in Niagara upsetted her, it wasn't her fault though. It was his. He was one of those controlling, possessive, and a little bit psycho,so called boyfriends. She was a sweet girl who believed his words and this is how relationship can get a little dangerous. I felt sorry that I hadn't said anything to her about it, I mean, I'm one of her best friends of four years. There should be some truth to that.
We continued talking for the past week, I didn't pressure her to do or say anything, just gave her advice and prayed that she would see what everyone is seeing. I could tell she was starting to get sick of him chilling at her apartment, ignoring her and playing video games all day(I dint know how she put up with that, I would of booted him out, day1). But then i guess it clicked and she took everything in her own hands, she told him she was fed up! and gave him no tears to see. I have to say I'm proud of her, not just because she stuck up for herself, but because she didn't allow herself to remain a victim of a dangerous relationship.
