you ever had a friend who is all in your ear about YOUR relationship ?
constantly talking about how "all men are the same" ?
using that tone that seems like theyre trying to help but theyre really just planting a seed of mistrust and doubt ?
just because their boyfriend is hitting her in the face, she thinks your man is too ?
just because their girlfriend is "smashin all the homies", he sayin that your girl is too ?


ever had a friend who is just a litttttle too comfortable with your girlfriend or boyfriend ?
hugging YOUR boyfriend a little long ? hmm .
hitting them up on aim, facebook, & texting, "i miss you" ?
mentioning your boyfriend/girlfriend's name more than you are ?


ive heard of way too many instances & im asking, "what's up with that ? really ?"

when we were little kids, i felt like we were BETTER at hiding our leaks of jealousy and competitiveness. we used to snarl a little when our friends had the jordans before you . we used to cut our eyes when someone had a snack at recess and we didnt . BUT now ...it's almost as if we are less and less discrete to test the boundaries of our friendships ... to see how far we can go before we are accused . to see how far we can push the limit until our friends ask, "what the hell is wrong with you?" have we seen too many movies about infidelity ? perhaps we've seen too many movies & we think its sexy to steal the guy/girl away .

*sidebar : i know guys supposedly operate "differently". it's "bros before hos" lol . suuuure . i have seen a guy brush it off when his friend swoops on him . however, i have also seen plenty of guys be passive aggressive with their friend as a result of it .

you know what the sad part is ? half the time, these triflin' friends dont even want your boyfriend or girlfriend . they just want to prove that they could steal them if they wanted . theyre so insecure with themselves and so jealous of YOU that they want whatever you have . if you have chocolate, they want it . you have chicken, they put down their fish . you speak spanish & they download a new "foreign language" app on their phone (the phone they bought after they saw yours lol) .

people really .
GOOD friendships are too hard to come by & dont jeopardize one because of low self esteem .
