Re: Hannah S/Claire J
Being unhappy in a relationship is due to people having different ideas of what their relationship should be. There need to be lines drawn so people recognize where they stand. If you two are happy to see other people, then you two are happy even if other people would not think so. If she thinks he did something wrong, then that is something she has to take care of with him. If he wants the door to stay open, I do not think he would have told her no. There are plenty of people out there happy in their relationships, it is just no one talks about it unless something bad happens.
It is not nice, but it is an acceptable joke for people to make. There was one time that this obnoxious woman was telling people to go into the church to prank us. In full public view, she told Ren and someone named Fen to go inside and for Ren to pretend he was possessed by demons to get the exorcist called and Fen was supposed to ask for a job with the flowers and mess it all up. No one once thought that what she was doing was wrong, except for me. Everyone ate it up and loved it. When I asked what the church had done to her, she said nothing. Ren and Fen both agreed to do what she asked without a second thought. It was unbelievably hateful and petty, but it proved how little people respect other beliefs. It is "cool" to make fun of Christians and belittle the church, but if one of the church people tried to get people to go ruin some Beltane celebration they would have been attacked by the rabid dogs on the forums. And I would go back to Rome. I think my real friends consider me a lecturing, overbearing mother and would be glad to be rid of me.
No, from the battle. They were not in the group of people I lead inside. If they had not shown up, I do not know what would have happened.
