Dear Sammi and Ronnie,
I, along with millions of viewers around the world, are glued to MTV every Thursday night at 10pm (i.e. t-shirt time). We all tune in to see what kooky drunken mess Snooki is going to get herself into or who is DTF or even just to hear the grenade whistle. Apparently, in the midst of all this free spirited debauchery, the two of you have decided to become Mr & Mrs. Buzzkillington.
The two of you have cried, kicked and screamed. You break up to make up.
Last week, Sammi, the world watched stunned as you jabbed Ronnie clean in the chin (excellent contact BTW). Over the course of the next few minutes, the house rallied around you to stay as you incoherently, through sobbing tears, explained how you had to leave now because it was a sign from God.......
................ Just let all that sink in for a minute.
O.K.
Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I figured what better time to give you and any of my reader's some advice that I always carry with me when it comes to relationships.
Maya Angelou wrote: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Right now, your looking at each other, but your not believing.
Sammi and Ronnie are the couple that everyone is watching, but if you go through any social network you will see plenty of other couples going through the exact same situation.
People, including me, get so caught up in trying to make that special someone perfect. We get into relationships with the highest of hopes and the best intentions. As time passes, and we get to know that person better, all these flaws start coming out. Now, the logical person would say it's time to move on, but when it comes to "love" logic seems inconsequential. Instead of cutting our losses, we try to change that person. We try to make them better for ourselves.
The cheaters are forgiven. The liars are redeemed. The ignorance is ignored.
Their are all kinds of reasons why we stick around. Some of us are scared of being alone. Some of us become dependent. Some of us just think we can't do any better.
Their a probably thousands of couples who think they can't live on without their beau, these couples, for all intensive purposes, are addicted to each other.
Now, don't get me wrong, relationships aren’t as cut and dry as I'm making them out to be and every relationship is different. But if it seems like your watching yourself when you see Sammi and Ronnie's drunken arguments, it might be a sign your relationship has run its course, at least for now.
Being in love with someone does not necessarily mean you should be together, sometimes it just means you need to love that person from afar.
And if all else fails just remember you can still GTL when single.
