Nothing Like Dating A Man-Child!
Ah, there's nothing like dating a man who doesn't know how to manage his emotions in a healthy way and expects you to mother him after he's horrible to you but also for you to apologize!
Drake Needs To Apologize For What He Enabled
There's nothing like dating a man who can't take an argument seriously and instead thinks that using the opportunity to pepper in a Drake will make things better. Am I right, ladies?
...And What About It?
I can scream at a guy all I want but if he raises his voice at me I will become a soft little baby, cry for 15 minutes to four hours, and also be an emotional wreck for 3-12 business days.
I Was Supposed To Win This Round!
How dare you try to use the exact same fight tactics that I am using against you! Not only is that disrespectful but also it's making me sad and I need to be cuddled right now!
We Really Played Ourselves
I remember being 13-years-old, watching Jersey Shore on MTV while getting popcorn stuck in my braces thinking that they were idiots, and then I grew up to date a musician who couldn't take accountability for his actions.
*Cracks Knuckles* Time To End His Whole Career
Let the record show that there is a very rational part of my brain that wants me to accept an apology and move forward from every argument, but the crazy, angry part is stronger.
This Song Unites Us All
There's nothing like being in the club and having this song come on. All the girls go hard, and all the men realize that they can never mess up without having their cars broken and houses burned down.
Stop Letting Men Write Films In 2020
This is the artist/director's way of being that guy who, after a series of fights, breaks up with his girlfriend and tells the boys that she was nuts and he deserved better while he spent their whole relationship gaslighting and cheating on her.
AND We Have The Receipts
For a moment, I will say that men have it tough when it comes to dating women. Just when you think the smoke has cleared and something is in the past, a girl will bring it up and throw it in your face all over again.
I Kind Of Do Though
I've been single for so long now that I kind of want to start dating a toxic guy again and have the horrible emotional rollercoaster of hating and loving them at the same time just to feel something.
When I Say "Gas", You Say "Light"!
I've got to give it to men: they do not go gentle into that dark night. You can hand them proof for their shady behavior and they will find a way to make you the bad guy. Inspiring!
I See No Flaws With This
If you want to date me, you must understand that everything I say and do is actually the right answer, and when we fight, you are just wrong about the issue. Sorry, I do not make the rules!
No Problem? I'll Find One
Things have been going well, I feel secure in our relationship, and you've been nothing but respectful of my feelings? Sounds fake. Time for me to lurk his phone and find something to be mad about.
We Love When Men Change The Script After The Fact!
I've literally had this exact argument with a guy I dated who was supposed to come over and then stumbled into my apartment at 2 am saying that he "lost track of time" even though he was SIX hours late.
I Know This Is A Joke, But It's So Close To The Reality
My favorite kind of couple fight is when I call out a toxic or hurtful behavior that the guy I'm seeing does and then he proceeds to avidly deny it while exhibiting the exact behavior I brought up. The symmetry of the experience is basically art.
I Literally Become A Different Person During An Argument
I generally am actually a pretty rational and well-balanced person who can talk about things calmly, but if an argument activates my crazy side, I will attack you and put your thumb to the iPhone lock reader, no cap.
Children Of Immigrants, Rise Up
This one hit me directly in the stomach. There was nothing like watching and listening to my parents scream at each other in my second language because they literally are such different people it doesn't even make sense that they wanted to marry each other.
*See Tweet Above
Adam Driver punching the wall is supposed to be the big move in this scene? My mom and dad would destroy his career in two minutes of fighting over how the eggs are cooked.
Let's Rebrand Our Dysfunction!
Toxic has become too much of a buzzword and carries so many negative connotations. Let's all agree to talk about our severe relationship dysfunction and unhappiness as chaos from now on.
"If You Fail, I Will End You"
I don't know why our brains are like this, just accept it. If I ask you this at 4 am, just run with it. If I'm mad at you for cheating on me in the dream I had, give me some space to work through my crazy.
