Lisa: " Um . . . . .no "

Tyler: " Great ! "

Lisa: " Sometimes you settle for less - than - perfect in a relationship because the alternative — getting back out into the big scary world of dating — is just overwhelming . You tell yourself no relationship is perfect … and yet you brush aside the fact that you are downright miserable .

And if you’re miserable, chances are, he is too. It’s time to start monitoring those signs of a bad relationship so that you can get out with minimal emotional damage. "

Tyler: " This means if Mindy was unhappy I should also have been unhappy but I was not so this means she was not unhappy this means . . . . . . "

Lisa: " This means . . . . . that means . . . . . . . SHUT UP ! "

Tyler: " You don't have to be mean about it . "

Lisa: " I am telling you about my experience so you better don't interrupt . "

Tyler: " Ok "

Lisa: " People moan and groan about how awful being single is , but I’m willing to bet you realized at least some benefit from it . You didn’t have to factor in someone’s gluten intolerance and hate of Thai food when planning where to go to eat . You didn’t have his dirty underwear on your floor . You could spend the entire weekend bingeing that Bravo Tv series he hates if you wanted to .

And now … you’re constantly fighting with your boyfriend about stupid things . You never see your friends . You’re pretty much unhappy all of the time .

So … remind me why being in this relationship is better than being single ? "
