A good friend of mine recently got married. And you know, that's a good thing; in the end, I'd like to get married and start a family, and that's *almost* up there as my Supreme Good (helping people being my actual supreme goal, but you know). So, I'm generally happy for her.
The trouble is, he really doesn't like me. And frankly, I don't really like him. We have a little bit of history, and there's bad blood on both sides. I don't like some of how he treats her, and I really don't like how he tends to regulate my interaction with her -- I can barely ever talk with her, and I can certainly never see her. I definitely don't have intentions on the girl, but we're friends and I don't feel like we can often act as such, because of the animosity between me and him.
Like I said, I don't like some of how he treats her, or at least how I see he treats her. I'm a big advocate of the attitude that you can never understand a relationship unless you're on the inside; the inner workings of a relationship are often not what they seem to an outsider. Still, he seems really controlling, really insensitive to her, and just... rubs me the wrong way.
I don't know where I'm going with this... Just veting, I guess. In the end, I'd like to see her happy, and ideally I'd like to see her marriage work out in the end. So... yeah, I don't know.
