I know exactly what you mean. This happens to me when I have to listen to my best friend's cries, issues and break ups with her 1.6 year boyfriend who mistreats her all the time. He doesnt even stay in touch with her. But she just WONT leave him.. Instead she crawls back to him over and over again because she is Dependent on a Love she wishes he will give her. But he never does.
IT especially pushes my buttons when she looks at me sometimes and says "Oh Michelle, I wish you would experience what I have".
Like she has a freaking relationship taken from wonderland... I don't think so hahah.
I got way off topic but my point is its just a disgusting state! xD
