Have You Ever Let A Friend

Tweet

Get away with something that you did not like? I guess it is the people pleasing disease, but lately, I have been pretty much letting friends get away with things that would normally turn me into a raging lunatic. This guy who lives in my building is very sweet and we are close. Close enough that we play around a lot. We tease and call each other names and hit each other. I assumed that this guy knew my limits, because I have went off on him several times. But apparently, I will have to stop playing with him all together. The other day, I was sitting beside him and when I got up it hit me on the but. It made me angry, so I picked up the bell pepper front my plate and through it in his face. I was shocked, because I knew that he knew better. But, like I said I will not put myself in a position to allow that to happen again. He is a touchy feely guy and he always finds a way to take things too far. Most of the time, it is just verbal, but this time he went waaaaay too far. Then, you would not believe that the very next day, my friends boyfriend did the very same thing. I am starting to think that my being nice, gives them the idea that I am flirting with them. I do not even like this guy. To me, he looks like a bomb. He does not bathe and he is an alcoholic. But, I am the type of person who tries to treat everyone the same, no matter what. So anyway, after the boyfriend hit me, the first thing I thought about was my friend(his girlfriend) because he always pats her on the butt like that. At first I told him that I was going to tell on him. Then, I changed my mind because she is so abusive to him. She will yell at him for hours and hours and call him everything but a human being. Now, the thing about it is, if these guys had not been friends of mine, they would probably be in the grave right now. I can not stand it when a man puts his hands on me without my permission. I have been abused and molested and believe me, I don't play that. In fact, the boyfriend had hit me another time because I was ignoring him and I pushed him so hard that he flew up and across the room. I am not a little girl. Well, I ended up getting him back this morning, by finally telling his girl friend. She asked me to over-look it because it was the alcohol making him act like that. And she is right, normally, he would never act that way. He is very sweet and quiet when he has not been drinking and that is why I did not want her to yell at him. Then, she told me that the other day, he came into her room, sat on her down and he fell back and slammed his head against the wall. That made me feel even worse. He is slowly losing his battle with alcohol. He does not believe he has a problem, so he doesn't feel the need to stop drinking. But, the next time he puts his hands on me like that, drunk or not, he is going to feel my wrath. He better realize that he has a problem and get help, because I will not be so understanding next time.
