In relationships, you gotta take the good with the bad.
You gotta take the other person’s good, as well as their bad. They in turn, have to take your good and your bad. This holds true in all relationships – friendships, family relationships, one-on-one relationships, etc.
You know what I’m saying? It’s like …
Sometimes, there is a pigeon and there is a statue.
And sometimes, you just gotta be the statue.

Not me.
I’m always the pigeon.
Heeeyyyyy, wait a second….
June 25, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Short, to the point and really touched something in me. I really need to start being the statue.
Thanks

ROFLMAO!!!!! I LOVE IT!
Sometimes, you just gotta look the person in the eye and beg: “Please may I have more of your crap???”
June 25, 2009 at 6:20 pm
And you get pooped on a lot in both scenarios.
June 25, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Yeah but then later, you’re looking back at all the crap and wondering, “At what point should I have shooed that pigeon away?”
Because we get so used to the crap, that we can’t tell when too much is TOO MUCH.

True, but I also agree with T. Sometimes enough is enough. But I guess it depends on the situation.

And as Mary Chapin Carpenter sang, “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.”
June 25, 2009 at 10:36 pm
LMAO @ T. She’s soooo right. You need to be the statue, but at some point you gotta just call it a day.
June 25, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Yes T and CaNook! And when it’s time to call it a day? You become the pigeon!
June 25, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Huh? What? Um. Sorry, I’m still a little preoccupied with your number 10 from two days ago.
June 26, 2009 at 1:32 am
I agree with T, but will add that one should not always be the pigeon or always the statue.
June 26, 2009 at 5:25 am
But wouldn’t it be *cool* if you could have a relationship that was more like tongue and groove? You both support each other and the whole is more strong than the pieces? Plus is kind of naughty sounding as a bonus. Just a thought.
June 26, 2009 at 6:15 am
So then who CLEANS the statue? Or is that another post…?
June 26, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I’m sorry, but I disagree. I won’t let a woman shit all over me. Been there, done that. Never again. Relationships are a two way street, and you do need to accept the good and bad, but you don’t have to put up with everything.
June 26, 2009 at 7:02 pm
DUDES!
My whole point of this post was that it IS a two way street! Not that you should let yourself get shit on! *laugh*
And putting up with things in a relationship, it’s about compromise. That was my point!
SHEESH *smacks forehead*

Er, yeah, I don’t think it would make much sense, especially in the context of QT’s personality, to write an entry with the message, “Sometimes, you gotta let people shit all over you.”
heh.
BUT OH THE INDIGNATION IF SHE DID.
QT – I FULLY expect a confession of drunken phone calls from you. *cough*

RE – You should see the bruises I have from the bite marks! DAMN.
June 29, 2009 at 1:25 pm
QT – Don’t let Besos hear you say that. I don’t want you two getting matching choke chains for the biters in your lives.
