So glad I’ve been able to find a few.
You know who you are. 😉

365 Project – Day 360 – Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
“Everything ends badly. Otherwise, it wouldn’t end.” – Tom Cruise, Cocktail
There are a thousand different reasons for a relationship to end, but the one I never really understood was infidelity. I mean, if you’ve gotten to the point where you are even considering someone else, then I imagine that your relationship is already over. So, what are you waiting for? Why cheat? Why not just put an end to one relationship before you go diving into another?
I don’t know. Call me crazy. Maybe, it’s because I was always the one being cheated on, and know how badly it hurts to be betrayed, that I could never bring myself to put another human being through that kind of pain. And luckily I finally fell in love with a man who felt the same way about it as I do. There is nobody else that either of us want. Even when Steven and I get on each other’s last nerve, we still know that we are a perfect match and wouldn’t risk doing anything stupid to mess up the great relationship we have.
Plus, I made sure to tell him, way back when we started dating, that I was done with unfaithful jerks and if he ever decided to cheat on me instead of just breaking up with me first, he could rest assured that I would throw all of his worldly belongings on the front lawn and light them on fire. And yes, that includes every disc in his X-Files collection, his drum set, and every last piece of Star Wars memorabelia.
What can I say? Karma (and an angry ex) can be a real bitch.
But if you’re not quite the setting fire type, you can always take a page from this ex-girlfriend’s playbook…
If you can’t destroy all of his worldly posessions, you can at least hit him where it hurts and give him one big nationally televised middle finger as a parting Christmas gift.
You go girl!
And to the big fat cheater, I sure hope that other girl was worth it. Dumbass.
365 Project – Day 281 – I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend
I’ve always enjoyed Avril Lavigne’s music, but was never a big enough fan to rush right out and buy any of her albums. That’s probably how I missed her song Girlfriend, and only heard it for the first time when Maks and Hope danced to it in week 2 of this season’s Dancing with the Stars.
If only this song had come out when I was in college.
No offense to any of my husband’s ex-girlfriends (okay, maybe some offense to just one crazy stalker), but I had a hard time thinking good thoughts about any of the girls that Steven was dating in those years I was quietly in love with him. I never went full-on voodoo doll on any of these girls, but I certainly did my fair share of wishing that I could master the art of the Jedi Mind Trick to convince them that “This is not the relationship you’re looking for” and send them on their way.
But, as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. And I may have had to wait almost 10 years, but I finally married the man that I knew was my perfect match from the moment I first met him.
Funny how things work out.
Today’s 365 Project is dedicated to the one and only Steven Henry Romano. I know that you like me. 😉
365 Project – Day 269 – No One Else on Earth
Relationships are funny. Like most everything else in this world, relationships change over time, ebbing and flowing like the tide, adapting and evolving in order to survive.
This little planet that we are all clinging to has been carved into its current shape by the winds and rains and tidal waves and earthquakes that have battered it through the years. And yet, for all it has endured, it is still thriving. Relationships are like that too. They can withstand monumental pressures and stresses and unforeseen obstacles, and while they may be changed in the course of the deluge, they can emerge stronger in the end.
These days, it’s getting harder and harder for me to remember what my life was like before my husband Steven was in it. We may have only celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this past July, but we have known each other now and been friends for over 13 years. I can honestly say that I married my best friend, and there is no one else on earth I could ever imagine spending my life with. Call me sappy if you want, but there is no other guy that I could ever put up with (or perhaps more appropriately, there is no other guy would could put up with me).
Don’t get me wrong. We’re not the perfect couple by any means. We have our share of issues and fights and disagreements. We have been overwhelmed with the stresses of moving and bills, mortgages and car repairs, dead end jobs and leaky basements, dog ownership and deaths in the family, and the joys (and frustrations) of parenting. And there are certainly days (like today) when we absolutely get on each other’s last nerve.
Yet, in spite of it all and no matter how vehemently we may disagree, I wake every morning and feel exquisitely blessed, because I know that few people are lucky enough to find that person that they can fall in stride with so effortlessly. We may still have a long road ahead of us, but there is no one else I’d rather travel with. So, fire up the Ipod Stevie, ’cause we’ve got miles to go before we sleep.
Tonight’s 365 Project entry is dedicated to the one and only Steven Romano. All I have left to say, my dear, is I love you more than Estes Kefauver. 😉
