No, nothing like that. Ok, background time I guess. So there's this girl I know. I've known her for awhile as just sort of a friend but she's funny, cute, common interests the whole nine yards. However there are a few issues.

Lets deal with me first. I recently (December) ended a relationship that I'd been in since '99. Long story short is just wasn't going to go anywhere and it took both of us way too long to realize that. We're still friends but coming out of a 4 year relationship isn't an easy thing to do. Not that I'm crying myself to sleep at night by any means, but it takes some time to put away a relationship that lasted that long. Even taking that into consideration I still think I'm probably ready to start dating again.

Now to the issue that prevents me from taking action. To put it simply, she's seeing someone and someone she's been seeing for quite awhile. There's a couple of catches though.

First of all, he's a really bad boyfriend. No, there's no abuse or anything like that, he just plain sucks ass at being a boyfriend. I guess what you can sum it up as is being totally unappreciative of what you've got. Now there is extensive evidence of this, but I'm trying to keep this a little vauge so, sorry, but no specifics. The other thing is she's told me she doesn't know why she's still going out with him which, to me, is a pretty good indicator something isn't working out. I dould probably tell her why she's still with him, but at this point in time it's really not any of my business to be doing so.

But here's the thing. While I'd probably be doing her a favor by asking her out, and I get the strong feeling she'd say yes (in fact she's kind of hinted that would be a good idea), I will not get between two people. I just won't. To me it's akin to cheating on a girl, it's something you just plain don't fucking do. I mean, I can justify it to myself all day, but when all is said and done I'll always believe it was the wrong thing to do. Even if the relationship we had together was the best thing ever, it would have been started off by me asking someone who is involved out on a date.

So thus, my own morals fuck me over. Oh well *raises bottle of Captain Morgan Private Stock* here's to hoping she realizes, as I did, that staying in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship is a really dumb thing to do.
