Yesterday my friend asked me a question, that is, A (female) and B(male) are couple, but B has a secret admirer --C. Then A found B betray her, so she divorced with B. C also left B and went abroad. Later, B married D. Which person is the most happy one and which one is less happy? and order them. I perfer C is the happiest one, and then A, then B, the last one is D. She told me that this test is a interview question of a famous company. I put C at the first place, it means I consider friends as the most important thing. And I order D as the last one. It means I think my BF is the least important. It takes for me, my parents is the most important people in the world, because you can choose them and if you lose them, they will never come back. But if you lose a BF or a GF, you can find a new and better one. Smile

Hello! Laughing I agrre with you! To me, my parents are the most important for they brought me up. And then my friends for they give me friendship and support and warmth. Then comes my BF, he is the person I am going to live together with. That's my opinion on this issue.

i totally agree with you. i also think bf is the less imprtant one. properly oneday bf will betray you. but your parents will never do so. they will care you a lot and love you forever. so cherish your parents and spend as much time as possible with them because they will not stay with you forever. so give more time to our parents and enjoy the nice time with daddy and mummy. it is so sweet

Bah! You got it backwards. If you look at the psychology of each person and the overall situation, D is the happiest. Why? Because D was never dragged through the pathetic idiotic A-B-C drama. D arrived after all the trouble was finished, so she knows only a peaceful situation.
After D, B is most happy now, but not for long. B is always looking for "greener pastures" and is willing to go for it. So B is happy with D for now, but he has a wandering eye and will soon not be happy again.
A is not happy now because she was betrayed by B. But in the long run, she will see that she is better off without a philandering lying cheating b�stard. She can go on to find someone better eventually when her heart heals.
C is least happy. First off, she has no morals or ethics. She had no problem in destroying A's and B's marriage because she wanted B. But when B was free, C decided she didn't really want him. Not only that, but she is running away to another country to avoid the situation she created. C is never happy with what she has (not even temporarily like B), and probably never will be truly happy or content with her life. She will die old and alone surrounded only by her pet cats.
