Have you ever been in that situation where you know a guy deserves so much better than his girlfrfiend, and he just doesn’t see it. I wrote this about watching that from afar, and getting frustrated that you care so much and then getting frustrated that you’re frustrated. xoxo
I never wanted to be that girl
That girl who tells you that you should leave her
And though I haven’t said it yet
The thought it always on the tip of my tongue
‘Cause the thought of her with you, well, baby, it makes me come undoneSo hey, I’ll just say it
She’s not the one you should be with
Tell me, why can’t you see it?
She doesn’t deserve you
She’ll never see the beauty in you, no, not like I do
And I hope you know that wherever this road may take us
Even if you I never get the chance to say this out loud
You meant something to me
Yes, you meant something to meYou’d think I’d learn to keep my mouth shut by now
But maybe that’s not what I want to do
So I pace back and forth as I try to figure it out
When the way you look, the way you look at me, it’s not like the way she looks at you
You know there’s something there between usSo hey, I’ll just say it
She’s not the one you should be with
Tell me, why can’t you see it?
She doesn’t deserve you
She’ll never see the beauty in you, no, not like I do
And I hope you know that wherever this road may take us
Even if you I never get the chance to say this out loud
You meant something to me
Yes, you meant something to meSo hey, I’ll just say it
She’s not the one you should be with
Tell me, why can’t you see it?
She doesn’t deserve you
She’ll never see the beauty in you, no, not like I do
And I hope you know that wherever this road may take us
Even if you I never get the chance to say this out loud
You meant something to me
Yes, you meant something to meSitting outside, looking up into the sky
I can see the truth
I feel you
I need you…

One thing I'll say, you never really know a couple's relationship. Unless this guy is telling you that his girlfriend is cheating on him/beating him up/verbally abusing him, you have no right to say anything to him. As romantic as it sounds, you can't actually tell that she doesn't look at him the way you do. You have no idea what she feels when she looks at him.
More than that, imagine how you would feel if you were dating someone and girl was telling him that you didn't care about him as much as she would.

It's true that relationships are complicated. If there is a thought that she doesn't deserve him, maybe it is more about them not being completely good to and for one another. I'm no expert, but I do know that there are many people who aren't right for each other yet they are still good people.

Thanks, Lisa. 🙂

I've been in this exact situation. He's my best friend and he was dating an amazing, kind, funny woman who made him happy. I almost gave up on my feelings. I didn't tell him how I felt. He thought of me like a sister (yeah, friend zone for sure!). Then she left when he needed someone the most (he was recovering from an injury). And I took care of him. I showed him I loved him through my actions.
Also, because I convinced myself that he doesn't like me, I was more myself around him. I teased him. I didn't hold back on my opinions. I challenged him. I called him out on his bs. I also was more open with him. I told him all about myself. Somewhere along the way, he started falling for me. And now, we're together and it's more wonderful than I ever imagined. Best friend and lover. Be patient. You'll get all the love you need and deserve!!

Anonymous, I think we have all felt that way about someone we care about. Although you say we have no right to judge we do have a right to feel and those feelings are welcome on a person's blog. She did not call someone out by name but simply stated how she felt. Candidly and beautifully.

I think anon's right though. And I don't think she's being mean, she's just showing the other side. It's hard to know exactly what goes on in other people's relationships, especially behind closed doors. I actually had a man say to me that he could treat me better than my current boyfriend. He was completely incorrect in assuming that, but he didn't know the ins and outs of my relationship with my boyfriend so how could he know he'd be wrong about making that assumption? See? So complicated. 🙂
Melissa Blake says
Yes, it's definitely complicated, isn't it, Strawberry?
