A good friend of mine from work is a smart girl but she has been stuck in a no where relationship for 4 years. She desperately wants a ring and all that goes with it, and won't listen to anyone when we tell her to leave him. He tells her how to spend her money, tells her that she has to exercise before bed. And if you knew her you wouldn't think she would put up with it, sometimes she comes into work in a mood that makes ME run and hide in the back room, but she never treats him that way. One day she was talking about how he makes her do this and treats her like a maid and said to her " did you do your exercises before bed" and I have a tendencey to say what's on my mind, and I said " You know what I would tell him? Here let me exercise my foot right up your a$$!!!!" My other friend just about died when I said that but I WOULD DIE before my significant other told ME to exercise when he has to look in the mirror! It is one thing if he says do you want to do it together but an entirely another when he tells me to exercise when he has a BEER GUT!
