How to Lose a Guy .....every 10 days

I had a fabulous weekend with my best friends from college.  Of course throughout our time together, we reminisced on crazy nights, old sorority drama, and past relationships.  I have four roommates from college that I'm probably going to start blogging about a lot more often.  There names for this blog will be M, MPG, G, and L. 

I'll start off by saying, we are all out of our minds crazy.  When it come to relationships and also just in general.  We were known to throw ragers at our old, falling apart house and were always the girls that would be seen and heard at the bar. We are nuts. We know it, accept it, and in a weird, twisted way, we fucking love it.

We mainly reminisced about some crazy L & her ex boyfriend stories.  Did you ever know a couple that either absolutely loved each other or completely despised each other?  This is how L and her ex were.  When they were great, they were great, but when they were bad, WATCH OUT.  When talking about some of these stories on Sunday, L mentioned I should include her crazy antics in my blog and title it, "how to lose a guy every 10 days."  Because, like the title, L and her ex probably broke up once a week, twice a week if we were really lucky.  Like I said, we are all crazy, including L, but as I'm telling these stories, keep in mind that her ex was just as crazy as her. 

So just how did she do it?  How did she lose a guy every 10 days? And why in the world did they keep getting better?

I'll start off with my favorite L story.  L loves to push buttons (I know you are reading this...but you know it's true).  Her and "S" (as we'll call him for now) had another fight that ended in a break up.  L was pissed that S was selfish and out of nowhere, decided to call it quits.  I actually don't think S saw this one coming.  Well, when we out that night (in the snow), L changed her mind pretty quick.  She wanted S back but of course this had to be a dramatic process.  L couldn't just call S once and apologize...she had to call him like 30 times.  When he didn't answer, she was infuriated.  Our sober roommate picked us up from the bar so we woulnd't have to walk home through the blizzard.  When we started to get close to where S lives, L opened the door, stop dropped and rolled out of the car, and we just saw her take off running through the snow.  She proceeded to pound on S's door without a jacket in below freezing weather.  I can't recall if he actually let her in or not, but this was a typical L moment.

Another favorite story (I feel like all of these involve alcohol):  We had a rager at our house one night and L and S were surprisingly getting along (we were all holding our breath).  I guess one night of peace was too much for L because when she went upstairs to change, she threatened S that she was going to go downstairs to the party in her underwear.  The typical boyfriend response, he told her not to do that and that he would leave.  Before he could fiish his sentence, L was parading around our living room wearing a long t-shirt and underwear.  S was gone before you know it. 

Walk homes from the bar were always pretty epic with L and S.  I remember one really awkward walk home after a typical nothing fight.  L broke up with S, changed her mind 5 seconds later, and ended up running down the street after him..

Why am I blogging about these stories?  First of all, they are hilarious.  Second of all, you should be starting to get the point that this relationship was anything but healthy.  Yes, the two of them cared about each other very much and even had some great moments together as a couple.  However, if you are breaking up every other week, this my friend is a red flag.  As girls, sometimes we get bored and like to start fights.  We've all been there, but when your current boyfriend makes you so crazy that you are jumping out of moving vehicles and laying in driveways at 2 o clock in the morning, you need to take a step back.

L still cares about S. She probably always will, but she has a new boyfriend that actually treats her right and doesn't play the games of fighting and breaking up every ten days. 

No matter how much you care about someone, sometimes you need to do what's best for your mental and emitonal health.  It's really not normal to to be on an emotional roller coaster during a significant portion of your relationship.  Fighting and arguing is going to happen.  People disagree.  BUT there is a line between a healthy fight and an unhealthy one.  Know the line & be smart!

Thanks for the inspiration L!<3
