'Love' Story.

There is a friend of mine,
we gotta know one another through our other halves.
They have been going on for 3 years now,
triple of what we've achieved.

Even though we have just gotten to know in brief,
I shall say that the online chat with her yesterday (inclusive of the few meet-ups) disclosed so much about her relationship,
good and bad.
Of course, there are the smoothies and the bumps too,
but what startled me most was the fact that she has been living in lies.

She claimed she was tied down with his over-possessiveness, ridiculous restrictions, not allowed to do this & that, must do that & this or else. . .
Nonetheless, she still secretly does the things that she was disallowed to (shan't list them out here).
And from what I've heard, she's psychologically unstable,
to a point of self-destruction when things don't go her way.

On the other hand, he was somewhat forced to stay on with her,
due to the harm that she may inflict upon herself, or others,
if he doesn't play along with her ways.
He is also said to have changed for the not-so-good, since the commitment.

So, which side of the story to believe?

No doubt that they have been going on strong (or so it seems), shared laughters, jokes and whatnots, displaying affection, etc.

How much further can they go?

Let's pray for the best for them.

But the bottom-line is,
even though a couple may have interlocked their hearts, fingers (or whichever body parts they like), promising each other into an eternal life together,
that doesn't mean he/she already owns the other for life.
Restricting his/her freedom or robbing them of their own personal space and so on.

Secondly, people say they're honest and that they're not hiding matters from the other and blablahblab,
but again, how true is that?
It has proven to be an overstatement.

Just remember that whatever our actions or words, thoughts & intentions are, hidden or manifested,
He knows it all, inside and out.
Some may get to escape with their untruthfulness,
but don't feel too good about that Doods.
