So a little honesty is great - but, what happens if your best friend just doesn't "get it"? Even though I was blunt and told the truth in all things, my friend felt that the "truth" was funny. Silly even. I did get to vent and say exactly what I was thinking without holding back. I even called her out on some of the comments she made, such as how she "invited us out for dinner" last night and then WE paid for it. She laughed and thought that was funny. Her comment that "you are rich", hit a particular nerve that meant I had to respond with a comment about how rude she was! That of all people she should know how difficult finances were for us now. She didn't even blink. So is she so blind to her affect on me or how her words hurt? Whatever the reason, she took all my comments as truth and funny. So we carry on.
Maybe some day we can get to an honest relationship, but maybe for now, this is all she can be. For whatever reason, I am satisfied for now that I can hold my own and be truthful and not take any "guff" from my friend. I do enjoy doing things with her, like scrapbooking. Maybe that is enough. I hope so.
