I came across an article today on msn where one guy posed the question why do we humans learn from our physical pain but repeatedly make the mistakes that emotional pain causes? Take this scenario for example; If a hot frying pan burns you, you'll be sure not to touch it again but for some reason people put up with partners that hurt them over and over again. The article distinctly reminded me of a female friend of mine that I spoke to over the weekend who tells me her husband keeps spending their money (hers and his) on gambling, partying and all sorts of what he considers entertainment to the point where they sometimes struggle to keep up with their bills. This is intensely hurtful to her but lives in the vain hope that he will stop at some point. She believes he is 'the one'. Sometimes I wonder if people really are in love with their partners or just fearful of being alone (and therefore put up with all kinds of crap disguised as 'love').
On a more cheerful note, my weekend has been fairly decent I must admit. I discovered (thanks to my friend who's now officially become my DC saviour lol) a nice little Greek restaurant in the Dupont Circle area with some really nice food. I also caught 'He's just not that into you' at the cinema. A brilliant film that finally tells it like it is. Women have wasted their times deciphering so-called 'codes and signs', from guys who they went out with that have simply become disinterested, since the Middle Ages. The film exquisitely lays down the foundation rule; if a guy doesn't call after a date or does not answer your calls, it simply means 'he is just not that into you'! Brilliant.
Still at work. Catch up later :)
