MJ: Asifa and Bobby are Toxic
MJ thinks Bobby and Asifa's fighting ruined the vibe on the trip.
It's Thai time! We pack for the trip (talcum powder in tote), and everyone who knows me also knows that I begin the festivities from the second we start making moves, i.e. I mix Reza a sweet concoction with, yes -- vodka -- and pink grapefruit juice. I know he's going through a lot, and I want him to relax as much as possible and embrace his decision.
Reza is doing the right thing by getting pre-marital counseling, because problems don't go away with a piece of paper to make it official. But his decision to take this trip despite Adam staying back is going to be a tough pill to swallow. I know Reza, and I think the pressure of everyone's expectations to take this trip for Adam and him has forced Reza into a bit of denial. I think once we get there, things are going to start crashing down for Reza. I know if it were me, I would have become extremely emotional and melted down. Reza felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and he is trying to do what he thinks is best... But let's face it, this is a rock and hard place. Reza is wedged between the two. All the things were planned for the two of them to do together.
However, the extra salt on the wound is the incessant fighting between Bobbifa. They are using this trip as a dysfunctional group therapy session. No one wants to be privy to the inner workings of their deeply abusive relationship, and none of us seem to have a choice since we are stuck on a plane, then an airport for a 12 hour layover, then a bus, then a dinner. All I can think of is how grateful I am that regardless of my problems in life, at least I don't publicly insult my significant other. It's deeply disturbing to be present for them to air out their very disrespectful daggers back and forth. They are the only couple here with their significant other and they are making a mockery of the whole intention and meaning of this trip. How can we bond among ourselves and help Reza heal with some laughs while we do some light hearted soul searching and swim in exotic water like this? I'm sorry, but they are toxic.
