a total eclipse of the heart

when harry met sally

Harry Burns: Right now everything is great, everyone is happy, everyone is in love and that is wonderful. But you gotta know that sooner or later you're gonna be screaming at each other about who's gonna get this dish. This eight dollar dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of That's Mine, This Is Yours.
Marie: Harry.
Harry Burns: Please, Jess, Marie. Do me a favor, for your own good, put your name in your books right now before they get mixed up and you won't know whose is whose. 'Cause someday, believe it or not, you'll go 15 rounds over who's gonna get this coffee table. This stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers, garage sale COFFEE TABLE.
Jess: I thought you liked it?
Harry Burns: I was being nice.

The best relationship movie EVER.

This is a great analogy of relationships.  Some people say this is a negative view on life, my dad and i call it reality.

My dad being a divorce lawyer, me being a product of divorce and the poster child of "what not to do in a relationship" or "who NEVER to date" or "love life status constant car wreck"......

At the beginning, no one EVER thinks that a relationship will end.  I recall a time when my ex and I lived together and I was standing in the kitchen watching him mow, thinking about what an idiot he was.  Matt came over one day and mowed the lawn and i stood in the kitchen watching him mow and thought how nice it was to not be thinking about an idiot.  Fast forward, i watch him mow the lawn now and think how shocked i am that he isn't on warcraft, or what an idiot he is for sleeping all day and then waiting until the hottest part of the day to mow. 

I cannot stand having the "what to have for dinner" conversation.  This conversation is actually good for my waist line, because i usually don't have the conversation and thus nothing for dinner. 

There is a part of "when harry met sally" where harry is talking to jes about sleeping with sally.  "You sleep together, she tells me her stories, i tell her mine, but we already know each others stories, so there is nothing to talk about". 

At the beginning, you LOVE hearing each others stories.  Now, you either hope they will shut up soon so that you can push play on the dvr or you tell them you have already heard this story. 

This is why i stay.  Familiarity, i don't have to entertain, look sexy 24/7, shave, or most of the time sit in the same room.
