Being hurt by someone you love Quote by Anonymous
“You blame her for being jealous of all of the other girls you talk to? You could tell her they're all just friends, but yet, she still worries & she's still afraid to lose you. Do you wonder why? Because don't forget, you & her started out being 'just friends', too & look where you guys are now, together as boyfriend & girlfriend. You guys became more than friends after being just friends so in her mind, it's possible for another 'friend' to come along & you might start liking that friend the same way you started liking your girl now...”
