Bad Relationships You Could Be Having, Volume 2

Whenever a single friend of mine gets itchy about being single, bemoaning the fact that they are not with someone, I pull out a story from my archives of the Bad Relationships You Could Be Having, which are stories of some awful dates, relationships, or individuals that they could otherwise be involved with.

These stories make you more than happy that you are single. Because in this case, the grass is not greener. It is quite brown and dead.

This sort of therapy of being thankful for what you have is not for all the time. In fact, reading up about it can scare the mess out of you and make you never want to be involved in a relationship ever again, lest it turn out like those that have been written about.

However, if you need the therapy, I present a series of bad relationships you could be having.

If you want to contribute, all you need to do is create a blog (on LiveJournal, GreatestJournal, Wordpress, or Blogger) and write a post, and then submit it using this nifty form and it will end up in the next edition.

If you want to host a future edition, drop a comment and let me know. We can work things out.

With all that said, I present: Bad Relationships You Could Be Having. Thanks to all the brave contributors.

Gerald starts us off with a story that reminds us that not all bad relationships happen in meatspace.

Richard Cummings presents One Thing a Woman Should Never Divulge, which is a story of his own pain in which he realized that the woman he was with had more experience in certain arenas than did he.

Ella Moss muses that karma is the reason for relationship pain. She makes a very convincing argument citing examples of her own pain.

Emily takes us on the Worst. Date. Ever.

And finally, something from my personal archives, a bad relationship that cannot decide if it is a relationship at all.

Enjoyed reading these? If you want to contribute to next month's edition, all you need to do is create a blog (on LiveJournal, GreatestJournal, Wordpress, or Blogger) and write a post, and then submit it using this nifty form we will take care of the rest.
