Relationships (Part 2)

***Disclaimer**
I want to start off with saying Thank You to everyone that left comments, thanked me personally, or hit me on my phone saying thanks. I really, truly appreciate it with all my heart . . really, Thank You all.

I ended the first of this two parter with being friends with your other, you know how much they mean to you so the "Boyfriend/Girlfriend" title really doesn't have to be stressed. Can you say you've been in a relationship with your other as long as you've been cool with your best friend or a sibling? No, because there's no strain on that relationship. You'll butt heads from time to time, but yall will always be cool, that's the mutual bond you and your best friend, sibling, parent share . . so why not use that same energy put into that bond for your other? Some will agree, others will disagree and will say it's complicated with "relations," well don't make it complicated. It's a choice to make shit complicated, we all know what's the right and wrong thing to do, we choose the wrong thing to do to make life easier, exciting, etc. Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing, because usually it's longer and less fun . . but at the end of the day it's the right thing to do.

So why be friends with your other? Shit happens . . the weight will pick up, the looks will fade, the sex will get boring . . but if that's your best friend, you not gonna leave them in the dust. That's cruddy as shit and if you do pull that shit, stay the fuck away from me. You may leave me up shits creek for the next cool guy that writes awesome blogs (<--feeling myself just a tad there, haha) But you get where I'm coming from? My grandparents been married for yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrssss. How? My man Tom Robinson told me, my grandmother was his homie from way back, from third grade. They got feelings for each other, started messing around, got married, had mad kids and grand kids and they still married. He'll still refer to my grandmother as his partner in crime first before saying this is my wife, Marjorie.

So if you haven't got the point from the two parter by now, just be cool with your mate. Attempt to make it so your mate is on the same fun level as your best friend, because will take a lot to break that mutual bond if both of you put the same amount of energy into it. Also no clocking . . . you wasn't around them for the x amount of years before yall got together . . do you clock your best friend?

Think About It,
