Personally, I don't understand this concept one bit.
Other than that it just mimicks the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' song "Misery Loves It's Company."
Or maybe it's the other way around.
Either way, it's no fun when people try to bring you down simply because their life is going to shit.
Take mine and Rob's roommate for example, Mike. Mike and Rob have been best friends since the 6th grade. But lately, Mike's life here hasn't been going so swell. He failed two classes, one of which he has to pay for out of pocket ($1,300) before he can graduate, he can't pay his bills on his own because he has no job, and pretty much can't help himself at this point.
Mike's taken the liberty lately to try and demolish mine and Rob's relationship by telling me things that he claims Rob has said, twists Rob's words around to make them sound bad, and brings up things about Rob's past that I neither never knew about, nor wanted to know about. For instance, today we all went to Wal-Mart so Rob could pick up his paycheck so we could pay bills. Well, when we got home, Mike kind of followed me up here and just struck up a conversation. We got to talking further and he casually brought up the fact that Rob had a past "relationship" with someone I find completely repulsive.
Now, I know Rob's been with other women than me, that's a given, but for Mike to bring shit up like that just angers me to no end, because he's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and that's not right to me. If Rob had wanted me to know that he'd been with that person, he would have mentioned it. Or even if I had wanted to know specifics, I could have asked and he would have told me. But neither of those things happened, and it's not Mike's right to butt into things that way.
I feel like I'm in the right on this as far as how I feel, but I'm not 100% sure if it's justified.
Am I right or am I wrong?
