I was considering starting a blog... on female friendships and relationships. Today really had me thinking about something. Allow me to elaborate without curtailing an incident that occurred today. A friend of mine has a bad day, that lingers on into the afternoon, after our day, he snaps at his friend, his so called Best Friend who happens to be female, she of course feels hurt, more than disturb by his reactions, as he walked away for a smoke, we stay talking for a few seconds as tears roll down her face, she says Ive known him all my life, and when he has a bad day for some apparent reason and unknown circumstances of the Universe, I almost always happen to be present, when he gets all butt hurt and tells me hurtful things. My response, was that at that moment I thought of how I treat my close female friends, and I have many, particularly my best friend who is a female. In all the time I have known her I have never done anything to ever make her or any of them to shed a tear, specially in front of other people. With relationships on the other hand, there is nothing you can do about the flow of tears in break-ups, some are inevitable specially in very volatile relationships. But, that conversation is for another time. I told her It is not my place to interfere, or intercede in a place where friendships and knowledge of each other is embedded with time. But the simple truth is... No man should ever hurt a woman verbally or any other way, regardless of the shitty days and drama caused by unexpected complications. Good friends always and most often in cases, find ways to forgive and continue, so my advice was... Tell him, hes behaving like and asshole and he should apologize. This I said with a smile, at that moment he returned to the table, and I excused myself to go to the bathroom and purposely took my time. When I returned, she had a huge sundae being served to her, and she had this glow of a smile. and the mood had lightened a bit. When we exited, it was time to head home for me, he approached me and apologized for his behavior in front of me, I asked him if He apologized to her? He said Yeah, I realized she told a simple truth, that I was an asshole and behaved like one. Before I left I gave him some advice. You know what the term Best Friend means? It means never having to say youre sorry, and that no matter what happens, your best friends are with you thick and thin, regardless of how shitty your day went, so those special people, are the ones we need to keep, share and always show them our LOVE and our APPRECIATION. Remember that!
