How far?

Compared to back in the days, there are a lot of things we can't say or do now. Things that weren't big deals back then are now so huge that if you do them now, even by mistake, the backlash you will get from people will be so much that you will be wondering if you did anything other than what you actually did because you know that what you did definitely doesn't deserve the backlash you're getting.

I remember watching one of Dave Chappelle's comedy show where he was talking about Dababy's homophobic comment. According to Dave, Dababy had shot and killed a man before and yet that didn't make as much headlines as his homophobic comment. His point was kind of like people now care about comments against the LGBT community more than about a man killing someone.

So you see, the world is changing a lot and it's changing fast. Unfortunately some of us don't know how to keep up with it so we have to ask questions every now and then to make sure we aren't doing something that wasn't perceive as bad in the past but is now a big deal.

Anyways today's post has nothing to do with the LGBT community or Dave Chappelle or anything I mentioned up there, I was just trying to give a relatable example.

Well a friend had come to ask me for advise about his girlfriend. She had called to tell him that she won't be going home that night for some reasons and will be spending the night at one of her male friends place. She had been honest but now my friend is worried and the worse part about him being worried is that he can't even tell her about his worries, because then she would get upset and say to him that he doesn't trust her which eventually will lead to a heated argument.

Now back in the days, before the whole change happened, it will be normal for him to be worried and for him to also express his worries to her about her sleeping over at her male friends place because he doesn't trust the guy but now he can't do any of that and he's asking me what he should do, should he tell her about his worries or should he trust her and say nothing.

How far can this trust thing go in a relationship in this current world?
