Frenemies

Main Entry:	frenemy
Part of Speech:	n
Definition:	a person who pretends to be a friend but isactually an enemy; a rival with which one maintains friendly relations

Its stressful to have a frenemy.

Make the executive decision and alleviate the situation; decide that the person is your enemy. Like the saying goes, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Make the choice; nothing on that person's part will change. They will simply be moved into the category where they belong - so every time they start acting a fool, it will not disrupt the balance, but rather, be right on par with what is expected.

Its like the feeling of waiting for someone to hit you. Like taking a slow-motion punch. For eons, you know its coming, but you still have to decide what it will feel like, because you don't know yet. How bad will it hurt? Will it damage my teeth? Will it break my nose? Like that feeling of falling, at the exact second you realize its going to happen, it happens, but still somehow there's that feeling of watching a pot boil in between.

Constantly hearing things that you question whether or not are true, constantly feeling as if you've done something wrong, or upset somebody, constantly worrying if you can trust somebody; these things are not exactly the cornerstones of friendship. Just draw the line.

It exists whether or not you choose to see it anyway.
