Cupids Dating Blog

You might just think I'm being overly protective of my friend or that I'm exaggerating wildly, but I swear that, sometimes, things really do get that weird. I'm not usually one to stick my nose in my friends business when it's not asked for, but this time my buddy really has to think about letting the girl go.

I might be using the term gothic fiction a little too loosely. I mean, I'm sure there are no actual vampires or werewolves involved. Something is really weird though. My friend seems to be under some kind of mind control. He's taking crap in ways I never thought would happen with this guy. He's smart, thoughtful, kind and confident. So not only does he do very little that anyone can complain about, but he doesn't take random criticism to heart, nor does he usually let people treat him badly for no reason.

These days, though, he seems exhausted, miserable and full of self doubt, all of which seems to be related to his current girlfriend. They knew each other for a while before they started dating and she always seemed really nice, but now it's really disturbing to watch the two of them together.

My friend denies it, I think because he really cares for her, but she always seems to be hiding something. Every once in a while I've been catching a lie in the things she tells me, but it's more than just that. She seems paranoid about the most absurd things. I really can't get into too many examples, but I seriously wonder if she's losing it. Worse still, my friend seems to be slowly getting sucked into the craziness with her.

It really feels like a gothic romance novel in the sense that something just feels really off, but I can't put my figure on exactly what it is. Still, I'm pretty sure it's time for my friend to start dating other people.
