RUMOR HAS IT!

Juliette was devastated. “Rumor has it Charlotte, he is seeing someone else.” She stammered between two tears. This was those kind of situations where you don’t know what to say to your friend; because you know how much she is hurt and whatever you will say, there is no word that will make her feel better. Julie was a really strong and beautiful tiny woman but when it came to feelings, she was the weakest person I knew. She got so involved in all of her relationships and her expectations were so high that when she came down… Well, instead of softly landing, she would crash every single time.

Why do man need to break our heart in order to stroke their ego? How more perfect do we have to be in order to keep our boyfriends away from cheating on us? What does the other woman have that we don’t? Juliette and her boyfriend were in a long distance relationship since almost a year. I’ll agree that the context wasn’t the best you can except for but he knew what he was getting himself into when he accepted to be in this relationship. There is no excuse to cheat on someone. It is lame and selfish. I mean, after a whole year of devotion to the other one how can you just forget what you had in one night.  Because yes, that’s usually what it takes. One little nightstand and you are out of the picture forever.

            That night, Julie just couldn’t stop crying. I knew too well what she was going thru and how hard the next couple weeks were going to be. She needed the support of a true friend more than ever. At one point, eyes full of tears, she asked me, “Charlotte, please tell me, how do you recover from such a big injury?” Even if I knew you never really do, I said, “Time will heal, just put one feat in front of the other and get thru the day. At least, that’s how I get by.”
