The Warm Glow of a Sane Couple...


Fave!

Not sure if you're anything like me, but if you are, I am sure you can relate to this...

Ever get caught up in the high flying dramatics of so called coupledom to the point where the bickering and the fighting, the jealousy and the crying yourself to sleep, the utter exhaustion of just being a"we" becomes synonymous with the term "relationship" to you?

And so, you rush down the roller-coaster of a breakup. And while it's hard at first, a couple of months down the line, you find yourself with the winning end of the stick - twenty + pounds lighter, with better friendships, loving every new challenge in your career and feeling more than perfectly content? Exactly where you wanted to end up? Almost like it all happened for a reason? That there really is a bigger plan for you out there?

And maybe, just maybe, you feel that with these new friendships, work challenges, and regular physical activity there's no room left for a so called "relationship" in your life? No time. No possible to way to shuffle boys into the mix? I mean, a "relationship" - really? What'd they ever do for you anyways, bitter one? Anything but an extra inch or two around the tummy and an urge to break into tears whenever you see a bud light lime or a crossword puzzle?

Or so you thought.

Then you hang out with the sane couple. The couple that doesn't bicker over dinner. The couple who splits new puppy responsibility equally. The kind of couple who probably holds hands sporadically in public but doesn't feel like they need to. The ones who probably love to go out together but completely understand the value of enjoying time apart.

The kind of couple that makes you stop and think. Maybe it's time to get back into the game. Maybe it's out there. And it's definitely worth it.

x's & o's,
