It’s time to talk about people because you can be assured that they’re talking about you. People can be annoying, nosy, and intrusive in your love life, but you need to be able to recognize when they may be telling the truth—when they should be listened to. Click here to find out when people should be ignored.
What do you do when relatives and friends hate the guy you like? If these people really care for you and usually have great advice/input, I suggest you:
1. Listen to what they say. Don’t try to block it out. Don’t ignore it. Don’t argue.
2. Give them your point of view. Let them know exactly why you like him.
3. Seriously consider if they’re right. Be objective. They might see something you can’t.
When many people come at you from all different areas of your life, saying, “I don’t know what you see in him,” or “You deserve better than that”, maybe you should listen. However, I understand that it’s hard to listen when he makes you so happy. His touch makes you melt. And though it’s annoying, the attention you get from people can be enjoyable. You like being paired with him in a romantic way.
Why should I listen to them?
Your friends might be right. He might be a jerk. You shouldn’t keep having to say, “Yeah he’s controlling, but he knows me,” or “You don’t know him like I do.” There comes a time when that excuse doesn't hold up anymore. Him knowing you just isn't good enough. A lot of people you'll meet in this lifetime will get the chance to "know you". Allow their observations to let you monitor all the bad you have overlooked. He may seem really great, but if your mom, sister, aunt, and best friend all believe that he’s manipulative, rude, and a danger to your life, then they can save you from an awful relationship. People can save you a lot of heartbreak. They can save you from saying, “I should have listened before.”
Don’t block someone out who has your best interest at heart. You are not all-knowing and neither are they. In the end, it’s up to you. Once you’ve listened to what they have to say, you’re the one who decides to stay with him or not, to like him or not. Use good judgment. Do what’s best for you. Figure out if it’s time to fall out of love.
Love,
Zabrinah

well said. Reminds me of a friend who just won't listen when we tell her that her bf is no good for her. We've given up trying to convince her and now she's planning to marry the douche. BIG mistake, but one she is going to have to learn on her own. We just have to smile and put up with him. xx
ReplyDeleteYes! But if I don't like a guy my friend or family dates I usually don't say anything. That ALWAYS backfires!
ReplyDeleteI have known so many people in this situation...if only they read your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are right, that has happen to me so many times! I have a friend that always feel in love with jerks, the sad part is when me and her other friends have to say "I told you so..."
ReplyDeletexo,

If my friends and family don't like him, he's out the door. Simple as that!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a friend who just won't listen when we tell her that her bf is no good for her.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, finally! I was always looking for a blog like yours. Interesting and good written posts. So I'm gonna sit back, drink my coffee and read some of your posts. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe your blog is helpful or has some good advices for my guy (because today he's a stupid and idiotic jerk and I wish him no lucky things!!)
thank you so much
M
YES!!! I agree!!!! Listen first then decide!!! what a wonderful advice!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI could have spared myself many trials and tribulations if I had listened to my friends and family members. I just thought that they did not know what is best for me and I ignored every bit of advice and later down the road I wished I had given some thought to what they were saying!
ReplyDeletethank you..u can buy some jewelry in d'PLUSH Fac Tory in facebook acount..
ReplyDeleteyour notes are really nice! I didn't knew about your blog but I will come back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having stopped by my blog!
They're almost ALWAYS right!
ReplyDeleteTHis will be helpful one day. Haha. Great blog. You should publish a book.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Sometimes, however, people say nothing negative until the relationship is over . . . and they they start telling you what they didn't like. All of the time.
ReplyDeleteYour blog rocks by the way.
Yes,great post!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is awesome. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI've been in that position once. Thank God I'm over it now :) I've followed you!

i've seen quite a few fall outs over boys and relationships :/ so this is a good post :)
ReplyDeleteso true! but sometimes is better to find out things on your own don't ya think?? ;)
ReplyDeletehave a nice day!
I know you are totally correct, but I guess it is hard when a person is so blinded by "love". I have a friend who I believe is in a "situation" ...and unfortunately I was too blunt....which I regret so much....and we have not spoken now for almost 2 years. I miss her so much!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sorry for the rambling.
You're the best!
xoxo
haha i love the idea of this!
ReplyDeletegreat post! This is so true but I have been in a situation where the opinion of another was not reasonable ::sigh:: hard to see another side at times.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a blog!
