Just because something isn't what I would do in a situation, doesn't make it a wrong decision. As a friend, it's my job to tell you what I think, and give you advice from a third person perspective. It's not my job to get pouty and mad when you don't take my advice. It is my job to suport whatever decision you end up making, and help you through any possible consequences. It's your life, and as your friend, I'm here to help you deal with things that come along, and laugh when shit is funny, but it's not my job to micromanage your every move, or get pissed off when you do something I told you was a bad idea. I'm not the one who has to face the consequences of your decisions, and so I have to assume that you weighed the options and went with what made sense to you, which makes it the right decision.

What I'm getting at, is I hate how often you tell me that person X is mad at you because you did N. i.e. Slept with someone on the third date, got back together with an ex, killed somebody, had 15 abortions, etc.

I could never be mad at you for a decision that doesn't concern me. If, say, your decision was to kill William, then yeah, I'd be pretty pissed. But if your decision was to kill Nick, well, I'd try to talk you out of it, because I'd hate for you to go to prison over a douche bag like that, but if you did it anyway, I'd be a character witness at your trial.

Sooooo... that being said. I hope everything works out with Brian. I liked Mike, but honestly, if he started talking about not having time, that either means he's gonna break it off soon, or he wants an excuse for why you guys suddenly see a lot less of each other, so you don't assume he's cheating. Either way, it means your relationship is headed in a bad direction, so being the one to hit the breaks is good, because it feels better being in control of the destruction instead of just a casualty.
