Two friends, X and Y, are having an argument. After a long heated debate, they are going nowhere. Finally, X decided that he can’t take it any more, and punches Y on his face. <P>X: You shouldn’t have provoked me, I don’t regret punching you. You deserved every bit of it.<BR>Y: I am really sorry that I did not see it from your point of view. Please don’t hit me again.<P>Sounds familiar?<P>Now X and Y are hanging out as friends again. Y still got the black eye from X’s punch, but he hides it behind a sun shade and try not to bring it up in front of X. Only to have X complaining about how bad his knuckle hurts.<P>What’s more, every time when X has any quick movement or raises his hand faster, Y would clench up and got scare. X is really disgusted of the reaction and waves his fist in front of Y’s face more.<P>NOW I FEEL MUCH BETTER <BR>Please feel free to add<P>

{{{{hugggggggzzzzzz}}}}} message received and understood...hang in there!!<P>Trueheart

Ok I'm dense... don't get it. Must be a guy thing.<P>STL always tells me that they way guys handle differences is that they whale on each other, feel better and then go have a beer. But I don't think this is what you are saying.<P>But I'm glad you feel better anyway. <P>Z<P>------------------<BR>He loves not who does not show love.<BR>----William Shakespeare

Could it "B"???<P> Yes, hang in there. We are here for you. X, should watch out for Y, because one day Y may decide to dent some frying pans with Xes skull. Or one day X may meet Z who is very willing to feed X some alphebet soup <P> Sorry, I couldn't resist <P>[This message has been edited by jdmac1 (edited July 11, 2001).]<p>[This message has been edited by jdmac1 (edited July 11, 2001).]

You seem to hang on to this jerk and consider him a friend for some ridiculous reason. Don't subject yourself to this type of treatment from anyone. You are worth more than that. Why are you selling yourself short like that? Don't you feel that you are worth something? It sounds like a nerd is hanging on to a jock to make him "look better" and the jock is hanging on to the nerd to make him feel "cooler". Let the jock know that you don't need to feel less about yourself than you already do and ditch the friendship, unless of course, he apologizes profusely and learns to respect you and your body. That's my take on your venting...Good Luck. ~FLgal~
