There has been a question that has been rolling around in my head for a few weeks now. I was talking about it with a friend (cough...nikki...). Think about this...
Why is it that the people you are closest to and care the most about often are given the worst of you? And in the same aspect why do the people who love you the most often give you the worst of them? And then in turn acquaintances or friends are given your "Sunday best" so to speak.
I'm not saying I don't do this by any means, I'm just thinking about why this seems to always work out like this. Every "excuse" or reason I come up with, I can find an argument for it. (Kind of like "there are no excuses".) So I have come to the conclusion that there is no logical reasoning for this to take place.
SO...PLEASE give me your thoughts on this. Why do you think this happens? Or if you don't do this to anyone: what do you do to keep this from happening? Think about your spouse, best friend, parents, siblings, boyfriend/girlfriend...tell me what you think...

Abs, great post. I know what you're talking about. The people we love the most we tend to treat the worst, and vice versa. I think it's because we love them, and they love us, and we get to the point of taking each other for granted. We know they'll be around no matter what, so we become comfortable and allow our Jekyl and Hyde out. It's hard not to. But at the same time, I know that I find rest in the fact that when I act like a jerk, I can apologize and we can move on - and the same for them. It's sad that we do this, but freeing at the same time that we can actually let our guard down with those that we trust. Weird, but true.
