Last night was my 2 year anniversary with Mr. Shanghai Rice Cakes and we thought it might be a good idea to go on a date (instead of every other dinner where we stare blankly into our iPhones forgetting one another’s existence in favour of more likes). Funny, when you actually talk to your partner about real life stuff it’s so easy to get into an argument at the drop of a hat (or in my case, the drop of a four letter word: baby) followed by decor, finances and how are we ever going to get to Hong Kong on Aeroplan points?
Truth be told, I don’t care how many peonies, Celine bags or bubble farts your lover keeps giving you on Instagram, getting along with another human being in 2015 is hard, bruh. If you’ve never had the urge to drop kick your significant other in the past 3 weeks, you don’t love them enough. If you’ve followed through with that urge and actually drop kicked your partner in the past three weeks, you love them too much. Love is all about the right balance of kindness and kickboxing. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we get it very, very wrong.
Here are the top 10 things you should say to ruin date night:
1. I’m kinda jealous that @SomethingNavy is pregnant.
2. Can I order another gin and tonic?
3. Ok, if you don’t want stuffed chicken breast and undercooked broccoli at our wedding then we’re going to have to cut the list. Severely. Or like I said, Miami. Just a few people, very intimate yet super luxurious. I think 50Gs is a good starting budget.
4. Fine. You know what? Let’s just get married at City Hall.
5. So what? Maybe I am drunk.
6. Not jealous as in I want a baby right now. I mean, like, if I found out I was pregnant tomorrow I’d be happy.
7. Yes, of course I went through the swatches you picked out at Benjamin Moore (lies). No, I never said it was Ok to do a feature wall in the powder room are you out of your mind? Who would agree to that?
8. Well, you just gotta believe that we’ll be millionaires in the next 5 years. Haven’t you read The Secret?
9. Do you want me to start crying right here in front of everybody.
10. I’m going to write a blog post about this tomorrow morning.
I just fucking laughed so hard. This post is amazing so many reason hahah.. Oh and you looked uber cute!
LOL yes yes… we’re laughing over here, too. Real hard. hehehe #doghouse
So funny!!! Super comforting to know I’m not the only one who switches between wanting to drop kick my man to cuddling him five minutes later!
Oh ya! All the kickboxers came out of the woodworks after this post. Boyfriends beware!
OMG, Justine! This is the most priceless post. Literally died LOL’ing over here. To add to your drop kick, my hubby and I always reference a joke Chris Rock made, “if you haven’t considered murdering your other half at one point or another, it ain’t love.” LOL ;) #beenthere xoxo
HAHAHAHAHA LOVE that Chris Rock joke – should have used it in the post. Thanks for stopping by and reading, and laughing. xoxoxo Glad you can relate.
haha you’re amazing, again I love your honesty SO MUCH. Marriage is hard too, dude, but it doesn’t have to be as hard as everyone says it’s going to be if you keep being as honest as you were in this post! Also if you keep wearing that skirt.
LOL! Love this comment. Yeah, there’s definitely a spectrum of difficulty when it comes to love! I’ll def keep wearing the skirt. xoxoxo J
Lol… too legit.
Love it.
