Now, Pete Wentz. I slag off the guy a lot. I do, and I know that.

But fucking hell. I am SO. SICK. AND. TIRED. of people slagging off him and Ashlee and wishing that he was still an emotional wreck.

In particular,

truefobinglove has an article about how he's grown up, he's not on the meds anymore, and how he has changed as a person. And the first comment?

The ever-intelligent

kooku4u:

blah blah blah ashlee depression happniess blah.

dude stfu.

She then goes on to try to defend her position, and fails with:

and i don't not believe skimming the article and realizing it is nothing that interests me qualifies as a pissy fit.

Because 'telling' the guy to shut the fuck up because he happens to talk about his actual life as it is now, rather than how it was three years ago, in an interview is the epitome of tact and diplomacy.

You know what? Hating the fact that - for what seems like the first time in his life - the guy is to some extent ACTUALLY HAPPY, is unimaginably pathetic. Hating the fact that in interviews he gets asked about Ashlee, instead of about Jeanae, is a waste of energy and without any comprehension or foresight whatsoever. If they go ahead with this marriage, and it sounds like they will, you will be hearing about it for a long time to come. It will be a big part of what their future lyrics will be about, you can be pretty sure of that. So the best idea, right now, is to just fucking accept it - or go and listen to Panic at the Disco. Ashlee, in her relationship with Pete, seems to have done nothing at all to make the fans believe that she is going to hurt, demean or in anyway have a detrimental effect on his wellbeing. Yes, together they may be a publicity machine, and no, I don't much like that either, but I am SO. FUCKING. TIRED. of people having to find fault and feeling that it's their right and their place to drive some imaginary wedge between them.

The greatest irony is that the same person who will bitch incessantly about Ashlee is the same person who insisted on defending Patrick's girlfriend when she did actually do something humiliating and childish (interrupting him, trying to get him off the phone and loudly announcing they were 'leaving, now' DURING A RADIO INTERVIEW THAT WAS POSTED ONLINE BY THE STATION!).

How about you guys who feel such a sense of authority and entitlement over Pete's relationship STFU, instead of telling Pete to because a journalist asks him about his life in an interview?

The day she humiliates him in public you might have some foundation for it, but until then, just stop, for the love of fuck. Either accept who he is now and who he's with, or move on; either ignore the article and don't comment, or read it and deal with the content.

"The thing that gets me is when people get nostalgic for that person. They come up and say, 'Pete, you've changed. We miss the old you.' Four years ago, I would have put a bullet in my head. Do you really want that person back? He wasn't that great a person."

Right now? You're one of those people.

The thing is, a lot of people feel likethat. They were really happy to hear he had a girlfriend - it's not that they're jealous at all - it's just that the more they hear about her, including that horrendous radio interview, the more uncomfortable they get.

She gives me really bad vibes and I don't truly believe she's really in this because she loves the guy. It feels more like she's using him as a step up.

I know, that is exactly how I feel it all. I mean I'm happy he has a girlfriend and Im not jealous, why would I be? I'm in a relationship myself but she gives me bad vibes

Like she is using him to say she has a famous bf or something :S

I dont like it, par tof me also feels Patrick just rushed into it because he doesnt seem the type to be single, nor does he like it!

Exactly. That's exactly how I feel about her; like she's riding his coat tails to have the famous boyfriend - and very possibly waiting to get introduced to someone more famous, more wealthy and more conventionall handsome at the events he takes her to. Because I'm sorry - I think Patrick is beautiful - but I can't imagine a girl like that wanting to date a guy who looks like a squishy little teenager half the time. She strikes me much more as the kind of girl who wants a 'proper man'. Your polished scruff sort. Your McDreamy or possibly even a more R'n'B/hip hop kind of guy who will be interested in doing the bling and the decadent lifestyle, instead of building houses in the suburb he grew up in and collecting ugly trainers.

I bet he's easily swayed by a girl paying attention to him, as well; he seems quite a naive kind of guy - he would probably be easily manipulated by the right girl.

And that's why it bothers me. I want him to be happy, and he might be while she's acting as though she loves him because he probably feels pretty blessed, but I don't want to see him hurt again if we're right about her.

He doesn't deserve that at all.

Thats how I feel about her. I just, thers far too much opposing body language in her. Theres a picture I think where he's holding her but she has his hands in her pockets and her bottom half is spread away. Its like not intimate at all. His is but hers isnt

And I feel sorry for him because I dont want him getting hurt because its blatant he has put his heart into it :-( and he is the sweetest bgloke evre

xxx

I said that about the picture, too. The first thing I thought was that he was clinging to her, and she was letting him, but not putting anything back into it. I'm sure I've stood in similar positions with people I've dated in the past, but generally you can be pretty sure the over-all body language was warmer and more balanced.

That just doesn't looks genuine, to me. Not from her side, anyway.

Watching the DVD behind the scenes stuff where she's standing or sitting around being surly (unless you count that game of taboo, where he's not there and she's actually seemingly enjoying herself). I tell you something - if Pete wasn't already taken I can't help feeling that Patrick wouldn't have got a second glance.

It breaks my heart for him a little bit, because I'd bet there are thousands of girls out there who wouldn't even know who he was who'd take him for exactly the person he truly is, and genuinely love him for it. I'm yet to find any evidence at all that she's one of them.

Thats what I thought and a lot of people I know have commented saying exactly the same thing. It just doesn't look right at all.

And I havent seen the DVD yet but that does seem pretty bad. Like he's her kinda burden or something.

For me, while there are loads of girls out there who dont know who is is I am pretty sure he can find a nice one even is she does like the band. She doesn't have to be a major teenie or anything...
