Stupid Things People Do Because of Love
We’ve all done it – something dumb, or not very well thought out, or just plain crazy when we look back on it, just because we were in love and wanted to make our sweetie happy. It’s not wrong to do something dumb for love, and sometimes you might discover a whole new hobby or cuisine or something fun just because you were willing to be “stupid” and try (fill in the blank) for the sake of your relationship.
For instance, I was living with someone once who really wanted to do yoga, but didn’t want to do it alone. Ask anyone who knows me, or just take a really good look at my profile picture. My body was never meant to be turned into a pretzel. Period. A bagel, maybe, but not a pretzel! Unfortunately, my sweetie’s body was much more yoga-friendly, and before I could say “namaste” I was sitting in a dance studio/Eastern temple sort of place, trying to put limbs and other body parts where they were not meant to go! In the middle of this short-lived flirtation with the flexible arts, a friend asked me how it was going. My answer? “I have never been so blissfully and so peacefully in so much pain in my life!”
However, being in love, or even thinking you’re in love, is no excuse for being irresponsible or engaging in risky behavior. I asked my friend Glenn what the dumbest thing he’d ever done because of love and his answer was, “Had sex with my girlfriend without a condom. The consequences, in pre Roe vs. Wade times, were very bad.” No, I did not ask him what the consequences were. I can make an educated guess or three, considering the days when abortions weren’t legal, and you probably can, too. And this was back when unprotected sex couldn’t kill you. Now it can. Think about it.
Even worse is when you wake up one day and realize that the stupid thing you’ve done for love is give up a big part of who you are and what you believe to be right. This happened to my brother-in-law-to-be, Michael, in a previous relationship. Michael is a vegetarian, whether for health reasons, ethical reasons, or both, I can’t say because I’ve never asked. But he chooses not to eat meat, and that is his right. Apparently an ex didn’t think so. Michael told me, “He wouldn’t even attempt to prepare anything vegetarian and he wouldn’t eat anything I prepared that was vegetarian. He also got upset when he’d prepare chicken and I wouldn’t eat it. It just became easier to eat the poultry than listen to him moan and groan about it.” If you’re in a relationship and your sweetie isn’t respectful of your foodchoices, you might want to reconsider the relationship.
We all want to be loved by someone. It’s human, and doing stupid things to earn that love – or keep a loved ones’ interest – is normal. But when stupid crosses the line into dangerous or emotionally or physically detrimental, it’s time to wake up and get smart!
Real women
Beauty in simplicity!…I wonder why women would want to hide their natural beauty of the various masks, such as plastic surgery, makeup, wardrobe that hides what is naturally beautiful….Perhaps, the answer is in words such as HIT or IN for this year….still vote for the individual assessment of each of us to express ourselves to put it on our own way… thats the way we leave our personal touch…Consider yourself as a brand rather than a pale copy of a brand….Lets be original as we are…that’s the secret was given to each of us the very arrival of this world…Unique in its existence…Not turn to others..Never ever!!!
