In which Hadas realises she’s not a very good person, after all.
I never said I was perfect. I know I have my flaws. I can be jealous as hell, I’m a perfectionist (about both myself and others), I can be selfish and inconsiderate sometimes (others say I’m not, but they don’t live in my head). I’m childish and can be whiney and not the least bit modest. But I always thought that when it came down to it, I was a Good Person who would do the ‘right thing’. Until yesterday.
Last week I met a very awesome dude. We bonded straight off. He did tell me he has been with his girlfriend for 3 years now, and I did tell him I wasn’t exactly the straightest knife in the drawer. So boundaries were clear. Nothing happened between us, I didn’t want anything to either. The most that did was him carrying me home on his shoulders.
Then, last night my friend tells me she has seen a picture of said event. Bless her soul she was so gentle and sweet about it, but she said if her boyfriend did that she wouldn’t exactly like it. I told her what he told me: that his girlfriend is ok with it. She has her guy friends and he has her girl friends and they trust one another. We also spent a while talking about his girlfriend- they’re super sweet together :)
However, I also realised I wouldn’t have cared if it wasn’t so. The way I see it, it’s the couple’s problem and not mine. I’ve been there before, in a situation where someone was cheating on their boyfriend with me. I don’t feel guilty about it. Never have. Don’t see why I should, when everything was mutual between us. Sure, if there was some sort of seduction initiated by me, I probably would have. But not otherwise. Not if the other person was coming onto me. Long story short, I don’t think is a very ‘good’ attitude to have, and I do feel bad for not feeling bad (huh? xD), but I just can’t see it any other way. Any thoughts?
