Sometimes friends from a distance judge a person better and see things that we who are in love with our partner, especially at the beginning of the relationship, do not see. I always make my own decisions, but more and more experience teaches me to listen to the opinions of people who love me. Think about it, author, how many times you yourself have seen in your girlfriend's new boyfriend unpleasant character traits - he is aggressive, domineering, stupid, etc., and she looks him in the eye as if she has caught God in a raincoat. Here, however, there is a delicate point: whether to tell her. Rather not, unless he seeks your opinion. When my first husband proposed to me, I was dizzy and called my best friend. Because she is a very direct person, she said, "Are you crazy? This person is a dictator! You are completely different." and my best friend was quite succinct: "Don't marry him." That's all he said without going into details. However, I did. They both helped me with the organization of the wedding and never mentioned a bad word about my husband again, they were kind to him because they respected my choice. But they turned out to be right, which I realized when the butterflies in my stomach flew away. My marriage was a 16-year torture not for nothing, but because of my husband's dictatorial behavior, and we really had nothing in common in temperament and character. After the divorce, I was about to remarry a person from a completely different social background. Ie from one extreme - a rich tyrant, I jumped to the other - a poor fellow. A friend said quite mysteriously, "Don't do it," she said, "I can't say anything bad about the man, I don't know him like you, but you are dearer to me. "Another was more direct:" He does not love you, but is with you to have a better standard and to use you. "A friend said:" This is about money . One hundred percent. "Well, I still didn't listen to them, I lived with him, but I kept postponing the wedding, which he insisted on very much. I live with him to this day and I understand what my friends mean. He is entirely dependent on me, supposedly works (I found him a job), but I have no idea where his money is, it's all my concern, he started assigning me tasks like paying the next installment on his loans, first leaving me the amount and then pretending to do it, ie I repay the loans to him, otherwise he is the first of all the secular events to which I am invited, he brags to my friends (most of them are artists), he tells left and right where he had dinner, who he met, how he got drunk with a famous actor, etc. He was a confectioner as a child. He began to understand good wines, to frown at restaurant service, to choose his clothes carefully, and of course there was nothing wrong with that if it wasn't for me. He continues to insist on marriage, but I already have an earring on my ear and I think my friends will be right again. So, on the topic: author, it is not bad for a person to listen sometimes, if he is sure that the opinion comes from a real friend, tested over the years. I don't think it's hard to be different from ordinary gossipers who are just looking to create intrigue. to choose his clothes carefully, and of course there is nothing wrong with that, if it were not at my expense.

How old are you? There is a lot of hypocrisy in the companies (not all of them, of course), I have been in such a company for many years, most of them (again not all) were complex, those who were not like that soon separated and found a partner and a new environment. Lisa
