Dear Boyfriend, Thank You For Loving Me, Even Though I Drive You Insane Sometimes

Madison Zegarlowicz

Listen, buddy.

I know I drive you crazy. Like, absolutely, positively, "Why am I with this woman?" crazy.

To name just a few of the qualities that get on your last nerve, probably: I skip the gym, I am easily distracted, and I ask at least once a day if we can get a dog even though we already have one.

So, sorry for those. I just a) am very tired after work and therefore don't want to work out and b) am very distracted especially when I see a cute puppy that I instantly ask you about.

Living together has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. It has allowed us to learn about each other in ways that I never thought possible. It was necessary for us to move forward, though, so I'm glad I took the step. (Even though I know you're probably annoyed over how much I complain about our house.)

Despite all those things, among others, that drive you up a freakin' wall, you stay with me and love me all the same. You chalk things up to the fact that those are the things that make me who I am.

You've decided to love me, regardless.

There are days where I hate everything about who I am. The things that make me imperfect are painfully apparent on those days and you and I both know I get emotional. Thank you for dealing with those moments and welcoming me with open arms when they do. It means the world to me that you are there to listen as I process what's going on inside my head.

Thank you for being the logical one on the days where I think with my heart. Thank you for bringing me down to earth when I start planning our wedding on Etsy. (15 years to go, remember?)

Thank you for going through it all with a smile after I told you we were getting pictures done even though you hate them. I love looking back at those, even though it makes you cringe every time. You did it for me, and I love you for it.

I know I am a handful. I'm not writing this to broadcast that fact, as it isn't something I'm proud of.

It is just who I am, and you handle it with grace.

Sorry in advance when I ask for another dog.

Love always,

Your Girlfriend

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.
