Unhealthy relationships..literally
It’s so funny how you start dating someone and take on some of their habits, quirks, and lifestyle. You begin to share the same behaviors, some good, some not so good. Sometimes you even become influenced by them. It’s like sexy peer pressure.
What happens when you start dating someone and pick up their bad habits? For instance, my friend Brad hated cigarettes. He meets Gina and suddenly he is not only fine with cigarettes, she has him smoking cigars! The things we do when we are blinded by love, right?
Have you ever noticed a bad habit you picked up after dating someone? Why does it seem as if we become so impressionable when the person we are seeing starts to influence our lives?
How do you know if your relationship is unhealthy and how do you handle it if it is?

LV – always so condescending and negative when you come to MIA. Does that carry over into the rest of your life?

The topic thing actually happened to me — sweetie actually wanted me to gain some weight, what, never eat pizza, no burgers, no ice cream?! 18 months and 50 lbs later, I gained an ailment with my foot and was freakin fat. I’m 40 lbs down from that now, I’ll drop another 5 — and, maybe just 1 slice of pizza, no burger joints period, and no ice cream. The more of that junk you eat, the more of it you crave.

Before I saw this (because the page hadn’t turned over)—>always so condescending and negative when you come to MIA. Does that carry over into the rest of your life?
I thought or wondered I should say why oh why would you log in just to do Schleprock? I mean yes some days
weI can be snippy but sometimes, just sometimes you’re able to say something bright, or funny or profound. And to think the likes of his kind think they’re adding something in the mix.SexyCool

Yeah…well, if he is one of those “same way all the time” folks, he is exactly the type of individual I choose to avoid at all costs.

A wolf. What you plan on doing if you saw one, kill him and then mount on your wall??? Wolf meat doesn’t sound too good, but what do I know.
