I have a lot I could put in here right now, but I'll just address the current issue here... Just the other day a really good friend of mine out of the blue asked me if I'd consider forgiving her new boyfriend. Her boyfriend is someone I use to call friend a few years back, but he first got between her and I way back in the day, fucked an ex behind my back before we'd broken up, and lied to my face about that. A while later finally gets together with my friend here so I'm the nice guy and try to bridge the gaps and give a second chance, and then he goes and dumps her for no reason at all after just a couple weeks leaving me to help her get over it while I'm getting over my own relationship issues as well. Then just a couple days later he's on facebook saying how he can't find a decent girlfriend, and somehow manages to damn our fandom in there too (cause my ex did to him what she did to me, so that makes all furries evil. Go figure.). I play nice and just ask him if he wants to rephrase things since myself and some of his better friends are part of this fandom, but after saying no to that I turn the safety off and point out that he just had a great woman by he side and threw it away and that he should be asking himself why he ruined that instead. Needless to say I was black listed after that. Come to find out after that that he'd been telling my friend all sorts of lies right from the beginning too, so that helped her get over him a lot. And these are just some of the highlights of my knowing this guy.

So this is where you guys come in. I've gone over this and am still kinda battling the shock that she'd give this asshole a second chance at all, but the conclusion that I've come to is that I don't stand to gain a damn thing by forgiving him. She says she wants this so we can all hang out and be civil, but given just my schedule alone, I don't see that happening too much anyway. And even if I do get stupid enough to forgive him what would I get out of it? Just sitting back and getting aggravated by watching another couple be all happy and stuff while I go back home to no one? Doesn't sound like much of a deal there. And on top of all that, in my mind, forgiving him would mean I condone such vile behavior as this when in truth I can't stand seeing scum like this being rewarded for such blatant lack of common decency.

So sanity check. Am I still sane for sticking to my guns and not giving this guy a third chance to try and walk all over me and people I care about?
