But They Do It.

You've just spent the last 6 months of your 2 year relationship at home watching movies every weekend.

You turn to your boyfriend and start in with 'how come we don't do anything anymore?'

She then lists off scores of her friends that always seem to go out with their man. All her friends seem to go out all the time.. every weekend there's something happening somewhere.. something and somewhere better than where you are now.

It's always better isn't it? Everybody is always doing something better than you and she's gonna make sure you know about it.

After taking her guff for about 15 minutes, you finally put down your chip bowl and lower the volume on the T.V. .. you then proceed to explain to her that she's an idiot.

Now perhaps you don't use those exact words (and my advice is, you don't) You begin to tell her that the grass isn't always greener. Sure.. perhaps in Canada.. and cheaper too.. but Toto, we're not in Canada anymore.

Couples who are constantly going out have issues. Or rather couples who need to go out constantly have issues.

What are you running from? What conversations are you avoiding by getting drunk every weekend?

Chris Rock has a theory that a boring marriage is a good marriage. All it means is that you are comfortable in your own skin and with each other. You don't need constant distractions of other people or other places.. to feel comfortable around one another. It means that you can enjoy each other's silence.

So before either of your start comparing your relationship with others, Remember that no relationship is perfect and all that matters is what works for you.

We're all hiding something - so judging someone's relationship based on what they show you when they are in public is wrong. In fact, so is judging someone.

But we all make mistakes.. so phuck it, go back to eating your chips.
