Love?

[xXoblivionXx]

I was at my locker today when I heard this girl talking to her friends. She said that she was going to break up with her boyfriend because of his reputation. Don't you guys think that if you really love someone you wouldn't breakup with them because of their rep? Well that's what I think. What do you guys think?

Personally, I wouldn't break up with them because of their reputation if I truly loved them. I know a lot of people who probably would though, and I don't entirely blame them. That person earned that reputation through whatever they did. While it isn't right to judge them based off of it, the person dating them is probably being judged based off of it as well. People can change, and I realize that, which is why I wouldn't personally break up with them. If you love somebody, then you should be able to overlook that and love them instead for the person that they are, regardless of what reputation they may have and the consequences that may have.

Nope, I don't care about reputation. It'd be pretty low of me to break up with someone over that anyway, since I have a pretty bad rep myself. Thankfully my boyfriend and I have similarly bad reputations, so neither of us have a right to care :P

Anyway, it would be silly to break up with someone just because of what other people think of them. Reputations aren't always true of how the person really is anyway. I know a guy who is known for being in the stoner crowd, doing bad in school, being a criminal, etc, but he quit smoking a year ago and was on honor roll last year. To judge him based on his rep would be completely unfair.

Another point, if she was dumping him over that, she didn't love him. I'm gonna guess they weren't even together that long.

That's awful! It may only be me, but the whole reason I would date someone because I like themselves, not what otHers views them. Now, if that person has a mean reputation for being something bad, and it is proven, then there might be some logic to it. Unfortunately so many people do judge people on rep...

It's high school. Reputation means a lot to some people. If that's what she's focused on, her choice. She might be wrong in my opinion, but it's her choice.

Personally, I look past reputations and just go out with whoever I like.

[Mortal Coil]

I'd definitely look past their reputation. I've gone through my whole life with people avoiding me because of my reputation as the socially awkward one, and wouldn't subject anyone to that if I loved them.

I would take into account the persons reputation but it wouldn't stop me dating them, If they were known as a player then I would be very careful as to how close I got to them for a while but after enough time if I was convinced they had changed I'd be fine, that's all in theory though reality is I'd probably meet them fall for them right away and not even consider the reputation

[DerBear]

It can't be love then. Love will bypass even peoples poor reputations. Love is a fickle thing and to be honest if two people care about each other and love each other they can deal with this kinda stuff. Therefore I don't think it is right because to dump someone because of there rep is just stupid, mean and selfish. So she can't really love him or she would be able to deal with his reputation.

I think its horrible if she does something like that . that just shows her true character . She doesn't care for who the boy is but how it makes her look herself

Apparently she doesn't truly love him or care for him. I'm very appalled right now by reading this. Love is the way you feel for someone because you just can't get enough of them, their voice is soothing and takes away the pain, you can talk with them about almost anything, someone who you enjoy being around and don't care what others think. Just my thoughts.

[Mondevil]

I agree... she obviously doesn't love him
