Today on our first exciting episode of things pissing me off:
People who romanticise romance!
Le sigh. Firstly this isn’t an attack on romance itself, balls no; I can’t get enough of that shit. No, no... This particular rant is directed to all of the people in the world who are in love with the idea of being in love.
There is an acquaintance of mine who is rather guilty of this. He spent two years of his damn life in a relationship with the most abusive bitch you can ever imagine, excluding yours truly, who made his life hell every damn day and tore him away from all of his friends and all of his family and stuffed him in a figurative box in her room like a puppet dancing on her strings.
We’re talking physical abuse, emotional vampirism, social bullying... Christ the bitch would regularly go through his precious fucking facebook account and if there was anything she remotely didn’t like the look of she would change his passwords. Hang on a second, why the fuck would she have your passwords in the first place? When someone says “Hey, we’re not going to work out as a couple unless you give me access to every little slice of privacy you’ve ever had” that’s when you get the fuck out.
Now I’ve known this guy for over a decade now and he’s not the masochistic type, so he wasn’t taking the abuse because he enjoyed it, no. He was suffering for it, pure and simple, and the reason why was obvious to everyone who knew him. He was so smitten with the idea of simply being in a relationship that the very idea of NOT sticking with the cow would utterly shatter every shred of self confidence he had.
Why? What’s the big deal, people? Being a couple is nice and all, but being single isn’t so fucking atrocious that being someone’s abused little bitch and going through hell for it is a better alternative. I’ve been single for a month now coming out of a four-year long relationship and I’m enjoying it like nothing else. Eventually I’ll want to find a pretty thing with an ego as big as mine to settle down with but for the moment, fuck it, I’m going to stay up late, get smashed and do whatever the hell I want after work. Only when a relationship is trading UP is it worthwhile.
So this guy gets this shit every day for two years, he’s suffering, he’s in pain and he just WON’T let go despite the pleas of his friends and family. You know what makes him finally give in? Another girl comes and shakes her arse in front of him a few times and SUDDENLY when he has a new prospect available immediately he drops the bitch. What. The. Hell? He only has the balls to stand up for himself when there’s his next future ex around to catch him? That’s fucked up. Why be strung along all that time and lose two years of your life just because you’re too much of a pussy to sleep alone for a few damn weeks and look for someone better?
Oh ho, but the story doesn’t end there. So a week after he drops bitch#1 I hear him on the phone to his new fling, who is admittedly a nice girl, I like her. Can you guess what I hear?
“Oh I love you so much, you’re the only one who understands me.”
“You’re the only person I can be myself around; I’m so in love with you”
“I’ve never felt this way before.”
Jesus tittyfucking Christ, it was the most pathetic display of arse-licking I’ve ever borne witness to.
PROTIP: You are not in love with someone you only met seven days previously. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Personally I can’t imagine anything LESS appealing than someone who can immediately decide that you’re the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. If you can come to a decision that fucking quickly you obviously weren’t giving it enough thought. Why must every relationship for some people be THE relationship? What is so terrifying about the fact that most of them fail?
If your time as a single individual is so dull and miserable that being alone is torture you should probably revaluate what you’re doing with your life. You cannot solve all your problems with a warm bed.
Ugh. Seriously, why the fuck do some people allow their lives to be dominated by single ideas so easily? Fatal flaw, anyone?
Rage over.
"You are not in love with someone you only met seven days previously. NO EXCEPTIONS."
ReplyDeleteI strongly dare to debate this. Technically you ARE in love when you love someone after a few days!
Some people need less time to fall in love then others, so judging them, even though that guy ofcourse just humped the next skirt at the first opportunity, is very very unfair!
But love should not mean getting locked up in a room and getting stalked by your own girlfriend! I agree full lovingly that such behavior is fucking atrocious and the workings of a misbegotten mind, at best.
And yes beeing a single isn't BAD. I say an empty bed that can be filled with love is always better then a full bed filled with that bitch.
