1. People and their relationships are messed up
2. Old habits die hard

I am writing this because people are people are people, and they will use every trick in the book in order to keep up appearances and cling to what they see as desirable, tangible and real or not.
Now, I'm not naming names because that is not my style, but I treat everyone like they are telling the truth, and if they are not, and I am going to ask why.
Now, I shall say that if a secret is to be hidden, DO NOT BE SLOPPY! I have found out discrepencies, and played detective, and admiration will not be the buffer for such actions!
I was lied to when I was messed up- mentally in a whir, and a girl whispered her words in my ears, we talked, and for me, the situation was kind of resolved. Now, she said she was totally against it, but what does she do? She clings to the thing that 'she draws strength from' according to my deductions. That's just being two-faced!
Now, from the other perspective of the other party, I understand because he is somewhat of a coward and would never tell her to piss off because she needs the support, but at the same time... there is looking after yourself. She seems like a manipulator, saying 'Jealousy in the air' when you're the one who is knowingly second-best and has harassed the guy for a couple of years.
However, maybe she is not strong enough to care for herself enough to admit, or incinerate the image that she has painted before her and is re-inforced by him. I understand how easily it can happen, but at the same time, it's really sad. *sighs*
And I fit in there somewhere, kind of clueless, but because I had to be detective, I don't like not being told.
