Chris Brown & Rihanna.

Everyone has heard about the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident, right? It's pretty big over here. The alleged abuse and all that, yes? And them getting back together, yes? (NOTE: I use the word alleged not to say I don't believe it happened, but because I've never enjoyed being the one pointing fingers).

Ok, so it's a sucky place to be in. When the love of your life physically hurts you. It screws with your head, and your not sure what hurts more- the physical or the emotional pain. And in most cases, once domestic abuse starts, it doesn't stop... (NOTE: I didn't point out a particular gender- because in my experience I have come up against a woman beating the living daylights out of her husband. Not pretty).

But do you know what really, really makes me mad?

I don't know how she could take him back after what he did. It's not only bad for her, but it's sending out the wrong signal to women who face domestic abuse every day.

Now I don't mean to tread on anyones toes... but really. Which insensitive, conceited, arrogant bastard assumed the right to judge? Fuck sake. If you love someone, you love someone. You don't want to be apart from them- at any cost. Hopefully, it was a one time thing. But even still...

Once I looked up the statistics of how many hits it takes to make a woman leave her man (or the other way around)... and I can't remember the exact number. But it's not in the tens. Or the hundreds. It was the thousands- and just barely, by the higher numbers. And it's pretty common knowledge, especially amongst "psychiatrists".

So what makes Rihanna different?



Fuck all. She's only human.

I think it's disgusting the way the media have hyped the situation up. And if I ever meet anyone who tells me "Oh, she shouldn't have taken him back. She's setting a bad example." I will personally extract each and every single finger and toe nail. One by one, millimeter by millimeter.

Discuss.
(About the topic, not my creativity with a pair of pliers).

It's only hyped up because they're both famous. You don't see "commoners" who are victims getting such spotlight.

Having said that, nobody really knows what happened, everything's based on rumours... so I say let them be. The girl can make her own decision, for God's sake.

It's a lifestyle...that she chose.

This is the way I see it, if you put yourself in the limelight, you are under constant observation. She's a role model, despite the fact that's she human. But she chose to be that.

Now am I saying that she's an idiot for going back to him. No. Do I think it was poor judgement, a little. But that's my personal opinion.

I don't think anyone should judge but like you said...she's human, so are all of those who judge her. That's a part of everyday life, celebrity or not.

If he really did beat on her, that's horrible.
If she went back, well that's her decision.
If he does it again, it's on both of them.

...Say wha?

I don't think she's an idiot for going back to him. I mean, no one knows how they'd react in that sort of situation. It sucks when something that was such a big part of your life isn't there anymore. We all know that.

I think Diane means "nor", not "now".

Haha, I see what I did now! I had written something between those two paragraphs! I took it out though because it was rant-ish. And rereading it made it sound like I was starting an argument. It was now, but in the context of what I actually posted, "nor" does fit better. Thanks. Sorry Aana.

Lol, it's cool!

Ranting is good... lets have a section on it!
Tell me when you've got some good rants.

Haha a ranting section! Sounds good!

That is going to look soooo awesome. Awesomely wierd, that is.

Oh yeah...it will.

I hardly know anything about the whole Rihanna thing, so this is going to be more of a general thing. But I do think she's an idiot for taking him back. Not because she's giving a bad example(I save that for my Twilight ranting ), but because she's going back to an abusive relationship.
Last I checked: abusive relationship = not good. Whether emotionally or physically.

Being in love with someone doesn't necessarily mean a healthy relationship. But then it's about choice: Do you want to be a healthy individual? Or do you want to do anything for love?
Sometimes you can have both, sometimes you can't.

I find that nowadays there are just too many people ready to throw themselves away for a relationship.

All men are emotionally abusive.

Anyone who tries to deny it gets a dead hamster up the.... I don't need to say it. You know.

Do you happen to have any idea who Nicola from Life is Sweet is?

I can safely say, no.

Nicola is the one on the left with long hair

Woah.

In a good way.

... You don't seriously think that way, do you?
If so, develop.

Of course I don't really think that way. *sulks like a three year old*

For a start, all my friends (par Emma) are male. I can't stand <most> girls in real life, I get bored and/or pissed off.

But yeah... I don't see how that vid relates back to emotional abuse?

Heh, it can be hard to tell sometimes

It doesn't relate to emotionnal abuse, it relates to the "all men are emotionnally abusive."

Aaah ^___^

Well, you'll have to excuse me on that one. But it's seriously feeling that way.... It doesn't happen with friends. But anything more than that... It doesn't have to be major, but I can never quite get away from it...


Hey, maybe I just have really, really bad taste in men?

All men being emotionally abusive? Whoops.

The only way to find out is to go through more of 'em

But to get back onto the topic of emotionnal abuse, I find it seems to be happening more than people realise, and that people are willing to just take it.

And that really doesn't sound good. Anyone else?

Men may be emotionally abusive but you got to think about this...woman with words...that's deadly.

But how do you fight against emotional abuse? Do you just walk away from it...?
