Relationships

No, I’m not going to write about how great my relationship is or how fantastic it is to be in a relationship, nor am I going to write about how horrible being in a relationship is. This morning I was driving to Maine and started listening to one of the morning radio shows. They began talking about relationships and referenced a study that was just completed. The study stated that out of every 100 couples that live together, 40 of them fail before they get to the point of marriage. The fun really starts with the other 60 people and the poor souls who decide to get married. 45 of those 60 marriages end up in divorce. So basically, 15 of 100 live in relationships succeed. GREAT!!! Sign me up for one of those.

Maybe I’m just naive, but isn’t the “Let’s live together!” conversation a big one in the relationship? At this point, shouldn’t you know that your significant other enjoys naked jumping jacks when they wake up, has their mother come over every Sunday to do their laundry, uses their floor as their location for dirty clothes and only has Mac & Cheese and a 30 pack of Natty Light in the fridge? I would think that if you decide to live with someone you already understand their quirks, and are comfortable with them. If not, you should have at least seen where they live, spent a night or two in their bed.

Has society really gotten to a point where any real, meaningful relationship for the long haul is a joke? Have real relationships basically been rendered obsolete? In a world where you can get blows in the Oval Office, use seedy truck stop bathrooms as a a safe haven for your homosexual relations and can traffic prostitutes over state lines for your own personal pleasure, what’s the chance of having anything meaningful? Many people believe most people cheat, especially females. If I hear one more girl say, “I want a nice guy!” odds are I’m going to punch her. I don’t think there are anymore “good” people, not in terms of relationships. Society is all about the “hit it and quit it” mentality and it’s becoming acceptable. It’s rather unfortunate, so much for that dream of a wife, 2.5 kids, 2 dogs and a white picket fence. Instead I’m going to end up withPS3, a lifetime membership at the Bunny Ranch and a STD. Good times!!
