Disagreement

Just yesterday I had a disagreement with a friend. It was about a guy who she has been seeing off and on for about three years. Their relationship does not have a very good effect on my friend. She will tell me about how he is mean to her and that he does not make her feel good. There have also been instances of violence by the guy towards her. I do not believe that violence towards women in any context is ever justified. So naturally I voiced my concerns to my friend, but she did not take my concerns to heart. So yesterday she told me that she forgot expensive earrings at this guy’s house and she needed me to give her a ride to get them. I refused to help her, even though she pleaded with me. I said that I would not be involved in her relationship troubles. She was very mad, but I held my ground. The part she does not understand is that if I did get involved and met her guy friend, I would be very mean. I would not physically start any confrontations, but I would certainly beat him with my words. My stand against that unhealthy relationship is known, and I will never support any situation where a man abuses a woman.
