Just to Clear Things Up a Bit 10/15/06

I was talking with my homegirl, and she was telling her girl that I was real anti relationship.  I have heard that quite  a few times so I just wanted to clarify.  I am not anti relationship.  I am anti STUPID relationships.  See there is a difference, its like too many relationships that people are going back and forth about and being all dramatical about are just inherrently flawed but I am supposed to act like I don't see it?  that's bullshit.  A few examples of stupid relationships:

1.  The fall back.  The fall back relationship is that dude or girl you were just wasting time with and then someone you really liked turned you down, so you convinced yourself that this fool that you never really cared about it really love instead of just a soft place to crash.  Yeah I hate that shit.  Especially since if your friend is with a fall back, you prolly got to hear them talk all sorts of shit about the person at first and then they want you to believe they are in love.  riiiiiiiiiight.

2. The psycho.  The psycho is the relationship were you know the person is crazy.  I don't mean red flags, I mean they like flipped out and tried to stab you in the restaurant on the second date crazy.  Yet for whatever reason you keep going out with them and next thing you know you are in a relationship.  Then your friend is sitting up here trying to big up all the good things that their partner does like you are supposed to ignore the fact that you can't call them without blocking your number  or that they have to febreeze their coat if they eat some popcorn cause they get their clothes sniffed on the daily.

3.  The slide in.  The slide in is that relationship that progresses because nothing has gone wrong.  Sometimes only one person likes the other sometimes its neither, but basically they have gone out a few times, the thrill is gone but everyone is comfortable.  So after a few months they are in a relationship and after a few years they start thinking they need to get engaged, just because ain't shit really wrong, even though ain't shit really right.  When people slide into an engagement, once again folks be expecting you to be happy.

4.  The fraud.  Now this is my personal pet peeve.  If you cheat on your damn girlfriend with reckless and wild abandon please do not expect me to respect you damn relationship.  I mean you don't respect it, how can I?  I mean hell do what you do, no judgment, particularly if I don't know the other person like that, but don't expect me to sit around and listen to you brood about how deep your love is when I know you have had so much side action.  just keep that shit. 

I mean there are other fake ass relationships but those are the ones I see the most that just be fezzin a brotha up.  But if your shit is real I am all for it.  I am so pro black love.  Hell my parents have been married 35 years after only dating 6 weeks so I believe that shit is possible, yet as a divorce lawyer I stay seeing the dumb shit people do.  Of course, its no judgment, if you like it I love it, but when you on dumb shit I got my limits, just don't be asking me to be making toasts at your wedding and all that.  :o)
