Don’t pull a Sammi
I kept hearing about this show on MTV from my students called Jersey Shore, so I have watched a few episodes lately. On one episode Sammi gets an anonymous note about her boyfriend (a notorious cheater) cheating on her at a club. Instead of being happy someone communicated the truth to her (they are all friends living in the same house), she is furious that no one told her face to face. Sammi actually fights one of the girls who gave the note! So instead of being angry with her boyfriend, she fights someone who told her the truth. Talk about denial!!
Some people pull a Sammi in their relationships: they don’t want to believe the truth! Truth is, this guy is a jerk and she needs to leave him, but she’s in looovvvve, right? She expects him to be honest, loving, exclusively with her as she is to him (her nickname is Sweetheart, right?), yet she has chosen to be with a guy who does not have that kind of character, nor a desire to change. She’s following her heart, but has left her brain behind.
The sexual aspect of their relationship makes this even worse. Oxytocin, a chemical released in the body during sex, creates a deep emotional bond in the female that causes her to ignore the pain he’s caused her. She lets him in her bed and pretends like everything is okay because the bond feels so good.
Don’t pull a Sammi, folks. Check out who they REALLY are before you even begin to consider falling in love. You could save yourself some unnecessary pain and not look so foolish as to deny the truth when it’s right in front of your face.
