I feel like I'm still stuck on the whole friendship thing because I keep my friendship group really small.

I really only have three best friends.

So if one friend rejects me, that's like 33% of my friends.

And, but one of the, one of the things like, okay, so only like one of the friends I told the whole truth to, because she's like the most, she's my most emotionally safe friend.

Okay.

And she was like, I need to put a, take a, like have a boundary, like, like,

I will support your happiness.

I don't really support the decision to date this guy.

And at first, her boundary was like, I don't ever want to meet him.

I can't be associated with him because of work and personal life and whatnot.

But then, like, several months later...

She kind of like softened a little bit and she like reasoned that, oh, well, she was really stressed with work.

So she just was really harsh.

And she said that if this is the guy for you, then I will like be involved in like the important moments of your guys' life or whatnot.

And the other two friends, I didn't tell them the whole big picture.

I just said that he has something in his past.

And the one friend who's like really easygoing, she's like, don't bring it up if you're not going to like tell the whole thing.

And so she was annoyed.

Yeah.

And I, and then in the beginning I was really struggling with like the ethics and morals.
