I agree that the loys weren't too keen on Josie, but I very much always felt it was a jealousy thing, as in they've taken John away. Plus, John James always said how he'd never chase a girl, couldn't care less if he ever had a gf or sex again, didn't care about this, didn't care about that. Then along comes a girl who he falls madly in love with and suddenly he cares about everything where she's concerned.
I think they felt their friend had been taken away and probably that she had a strange hold over him, as his views on life/ love/ relationships etc had changed because all he wanted was Josie. I agree that the majority of his friends did appear rather immature (not in a nasty way) in the twitcams and therefore they probably wouldn't have been looking at the bigger picture, that John's in love with Josie, they'd just be resentful that they've lost their mate.
Similarly, everytime John went back to oz I don't doubt that some may not have been as encouraging of the relationship, because all they could see was John hurting and in pain and therefore probably thought it was better he stayed in oz. Friends always have a one-sided view of a relationship/ break up and being half way across the world and not properly knowing Josie, I can imagine that they weren't the most objective people to talk to when John went home. However, some I'm sure were, such as Scott Love, who I agree, always seemed to be very mature and plus, he is obviously in a long term relationshop himself and perhaps understands a bit better?”
Its been a while and Im sorry but have logged on today and read this and I agree with it all just wanted to say that.
Havent read back so havent read JJJLovers poems or NicLau08 which I bet were both brilliant. Have nothing much to add, have had a gas man here hes just gone and although the house is one untidy tip felt the need to say hello to you all. I know nobody will be here at his time but thats fine! I have had a very unhappy 10 yr old girl its literally broke my heart BF and I have really struggled with it as we think she has started to realise that she theres a very good chance that she wont be going to High School with any of her friends (purely geography reasons) and its frghtning her and its made her feel lousy. Its sooo sad but we will fight for her ofcourse to get into the school she wants but we wont let her know we are doing this as if the result isnt positive then.........
So off topic Im sorry, just explaining my absence.
Shes back at school this week feeling better but hasnt eaten a thing for breakfast. Right im going cause I will cry again writing this. Take care all x
