I'm not in one, yet I'm in some

So I'm doing my thing. Being emotionally trapped by things that really don't affect me. Then I take a look around and find that there is actually a situation in real life that can use my attention.

Relationships.

How is it that I can think, even for a moment, that I know anything about how a person should act in a relationship when I haven't been in one in the last decade? I do, though. I feel I have the most objective view on every conflict. Even admitting that now I know how inaccurate it rings. I don't know anything about the feelings involved in being with someone. I have never been in love. I have never felt anything but lonely when a "relationship" ended. Thinking back, I remember once feeling relieved that things were over after I was dumped.

Relationships seem to be taking crazy turns all around me. Some changes are making me angry. Some are disappointing. Others still are truly exciting. I want to storm the castle and free the damsel in some instances and... Well. Basically, I am feeling a mixture of emotions.

There are times when I want relationships to work. I have at least two that are bumming me out. There is an end that I wasn't expecting. Hurtful things said that makes me want to give people a piece of my mind. However, in bother cases, I have no right to say anything as I am not actually involved in either relationship first hand. Now I'm sitting on my hands watching people trudge through the hurt. I hope that I can make it plain that I am here for them if they need me.
