This is a touchy subject for me ...

I only stick up for those who truly love me, like my S.O., my older sister, and my niece. I don't stick up for those who've harmed me, like my younger sister, my parents, or my neighbors.

I did stick up for my guy after my neighbors complained to me about his smoking habit, and how the smoke was seeping into their windows. I told them this is their problem, and that he won't change a darn thing for them. Little did I realize my neighbors were complaining to my guy about me that same day; he also defended me. Since then, I stopped talking to them. Best decision ever.

You'd be surprised how many husbands and wives don't stick up for each other. To me, defending someone is a true statement of commitment to someone (or lack thereof.)
