Blinded By Love?

Do you know anyone who's been "blinded by love" or perhaps it happened to you? I have a friend who I think is in this situation. She fails to see the bad things about the relationship she's in and the man she's with. She won't listen to anyone around her because she feels she knows what she's doing.

it could really happen to anyone who really feels that that person is the only person meant for us... i was in the same fix long time ago... i let myself stay with him for many years and it wasted my life... but now i am already married to the most loving person i could ever find... and i am truly happy for having my husband...

Same here. I also have a friend right now who is blinded by love. She said that she met this guy around three years ago. By the way, she is separated from her former husband and they have one daughter. Anyways, she met this guy about three years ago. He is a cop. They lived-in the same house, in the guy's house, but the work location of this guy is far from their house. Her boyfriend met someone who was working near his work. The became boyfriends and girlfriends, and my friend knew it because she caught all the other girl's messages in his mobile phone. The guy was not regularly going to their house anymore. According to my friend. during weekends when they meet, there's always a kissmark on his chest. The hurtful thing is that the other girl is texting her, telling her to leave his house because he doesn't loive her anymore, but my frind still stays there. My frined's mom is even supporting her financially every month, and my friend is always the one who spends for all their utilities, their food. when she asked her boyfriend, he only told her that it's normal because she is taying in his house. I don't know what else to advice to my friend but she is blinded by love.

omg sounds like me up till last yr. i was in an 11 yr relationship that my mom didn't approve of from the start. i thought i was in "love" i had people telling me from every where to leave get out of there and that i was better then that..this guy was always verbally abusive to we ended up having 2 kids together..well needless to say he didnt change, he treated then like crap like he did to me for yrs..i really regret that relationship to an extent and when i say that i mean ill NEVER regret my kids i love them dearly..but i was really blinded. i thought i knew what i was doing to...but it took me running across the most sweetest man to realize hey i need to wake up ya know. from the inside looking out it is really hard to know whats excately going on but now that im out of the situation im like man why didn't i see those things why didn't i listen especially after having my last child
