Relationships: Turning the Ball and Chain to Beer and Chips

This part is for the boys in the room. So ladies please step out as we have our little talk together, its guy time you will have your time later. Yes yes yes you are very pretty and stuff now shoo.

Ok....is she gone? Check again. Now check the door to see if she has her ear against it, chances are she thinks your looking at porn. Shes really gone? Ok good.

Well congratulations you have found a amazing girl ( i do not take credit if you have not and shes a psycho bitch) and you have been together for months now. You are out of the "this girl is the hottest shit on the block...word" phase and into the "I'm comfortable ripping ass around her" phase. This is the part where you both, and I emphasize both, are happy with eachother and used to being with eachother. This an awesome point of course because you no longer have to run water while you take a dump to cover up the sound of projectile shit hitting the inside of the toilet...but this can also be a troubling time.

Troubling because it is right around the year mark, in my experience, that couples first experience that tinge of doubt. That doubt manifests itself as a question of "Am I in love, or am i just comfortable". Do I really want to be with this person for the long term. I say long term becuase anything past 1 year to me means that you are getting a bit more serious than the average couple.

The trick to figuring this out? There is none.

None. No trick, no catch, no question and answer form, and no, going to the bar with your brosefs and pounding down a few beers is not going to help you solve this riddle.

See...there is no way to solve this problem becuase the solution is a feeling and you cannot test feelings. You need to look inside yourself and ask if you are truly happy with this person. If the answer is no then talk to your partner about your feelings, bottling things up will only hurt both of you. But if you are indeed just happier around this person, if you feel sad when they are away and count the hours until you can see them again then you have lucked out. Stick with this person. Learn from this person and do not be afraid of commitment.

And thats it. Thats the key. This is the core. Are you happy.

Ok ladies you can come back in now and preferrably with a beer and some chips....
