There are certain boundaries
that should never be crossed, and we all know what they are: prying on
someone’s emails, messages or private journals. But what should you do when
crossing this line could stop someone else from crossing an even bigger one?
Seems like an obvious choice, right? Then why do I feel so awful right now?
After watching P struggle with
family issues, financial problems and boy trouble over this past year, confronting
her about how her newfound happiness is wrong was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Just like P and I share the good
times, we share the bad times too… and knowing that she’s hurting because of
what I said is absolutely difficult for me as well.
I completely understand why
P fell for someone despite knowing they were unavailable. It’s because she’s
only known toxic relationships in the past, so when someone comes into her life
who is caring, understanding and kind to her, why wouldn’t she chase that? But
how can I support her knowing she’s meddling with a perfectly happy marriage
and family? I understand that her feelings are genuine, but there are some boundaries
you just don’t cross, even if it means you end up getting hurt in the process.
I’ve always lived by the
principle of honesty is the best policy,
and even if P doesn’t agree, my gut still tells me I did the right thing, and
that’s enough for me. If I am a true friend to P, I would tell her the truth,
right?
