Neutral Means Betrayal,He Chose Neutral,So I Chose to Leave

For the six years Rodney Butler and I were together, he never once took my side over my best friend's. He stayed perfectly neutral, always.

When Sophie and I argued, Rodney told me to be the bigger person.

"These things are never one person's fault. I can't just take your side because you're my girlfriend."

On my birthday, Rodney's gift always came in two—one for me, one for Sophie.

"It's your birthday. You really want your best friend to be the only one without a present?"

When Sophie got sick, Rodney stayed up all night at her bedside.
