People who FaceBook about their "great husbands" or their "great boyfriends" – look what he did for me…how did I get sooooooooooo lucky!" Guess my pompoms are at the dry cleaners. Hard to be a cheering section and going through 3rd Wheel/Only Single at The Party of Couples situation. I have a friend coming to see me today and is arriving early so he can bail me out of a couples purgatory party. PS to all couples, stop telling your single friends, "you'll find the one…it just takes time…" – I find this thee most obnoxious. I know they're trying to be helpful, but it truly is insulting and comes of very haughty like they were the chosen ones and so lucky. Lucky is finding that one person who really "gets you"…not completes you, rescues you, infantalizes you, but "gets you" and loves you for you…like a friend…the second part of the word after boy or girl. It's not all about the PDAs or the role playing, the Alpha/Beta roles, the bullshit that couples spew that makes me envious. Couples fall into two camps for me…those I can stand to hang with because they have their own life and share it with another and those that I escape from because they can't help blathering about their significant other 24/7.

Love is a leap of faith and the more you know yourself, the more you'll feel comfortable with that significant other. The more private someone is about their relationship, I feel the more real the love is between two people. An empty cart squeaks the loudest! Shit changes on a dime and life situations can also have an effect on relationships. Tell me more about you, not him or her CONSTANTLY. Savor and respect your relationship moment to moment and stop shoving it down the throats of those that do not solicit – physically and otherwise.

AHH! This is my friend and her boyfriend! They fight all the time, and she gets upset over the smallest things. And my boyfriend and I just kind of try to ignore it when they start making out in front of us and talking in baby voices.

Also, on a side note, I hate it when those type of couples make fun of you for not doing things like that with your significant other. Just because I'm not shoving my tongue down his throat in public doesn't mean we don't like each other…we're just actually trying to be respectful.

I know some couples that share an email address. Seriously? An email address? They're unlimited and they're free. So, I can't send anything off color to my buddy because his wife might get it. That's so much worse than sharing a calendar.

I'm a very private person, so not many people know details of my relationship and no one except my boyfriend (and a few doctors) know anything about my sex life. My biggest peeve is when I see people post long ass facebook satus' like "I miss and love my coreyyy!!! Three more days! I love him <3!!!" Come. on. Facebook PDA is soooo much worse than real life PDA because you know what they're thinking instead of just watching two people kiss. I'm a HUGE romantic, but I keep it personal and quiet. My relationship is private and wonderful.

This so much reminds me of this girl I used to work with. She and her boyfriend had a pattern. It was pretty much a weekly thing. They would be all ooey-gooey for a few days, then he would do something SH*TTY to her and they would have a huge fight, she yelling on the phone (AT WORK) that she was done with him, wasn't speaking to him ever again…and then the flowers would show up and she would just go all gooey again about how sweet and wonderful he was. I wanted to vomit. That is why, before I got married, I told my husband, when you make me mad, DO NOT BUY ME FLOWERS, as I am angry – not for sale to the lowest bidder. Blech.

I'm SO guilty of the fighting one. My last boyfriend and I and had to be removed by bouncers from the same bar at closing time on a nightly basis because we were too busy screaming at each other. Healthy!
