Have you ever been in a situation where you have had to welcome a stranger into your life be it at work , in the family or some other social capacity?
Im a creature of habit ,I suppose like lots of people I dont like change but hey life is full of ever changing situations and circumstances so yep I try and go with the flow.
Ive recently been put into a situation which meant changing a certain aspect of my life after its steady bumbling along for 8 years, difficult upsetting and uncertain yep it was but I wanted to embrace the change and make the most of it .
So the change was made and I embraced the stranger , took them into my life and made the best of the situation hopefully making an friend along the way.
Things went along quite comfortabley for about 6- 8 months, I ,believing this person was now a friend and offering what I do for any friend, my total and unconditional friendhip and loyalty.
Things started taking a turn for the worst when it became apparent to me that this person was very duplicitus and began bitching and slagging certain people off to me but continued being extreemly nice and wholesome to their faces.
This didnt sit right with me as Im the sort of person that if ya dont like what ya see then dont bloody look !Im as straight as a dye
Imagine my total shock and horror to discover this person had indeed gone behind my back and had been running me down to others whilst running them down to me and engineering a situation (unbeknown to me) which meant we would have to part company.
Ok I know when Im beaten, I dont want to have someone I dont trust that influential in my life, I know in the long run ill be a lot happier without them!
Now this is my dilema the people that this other person has been horrifically running down have abs no idea about it as this person is so believable and overly friendly to them.
These other people ,I would consider to be my friends however I know they've been taken in by this person to my detriment, Is it my duty to alert them to this wickedly two faced person? Or do I reason that I learned the hard way and so will they??
How much friendship can a pint or 2 buy????
The only person you can trust is yourself!
