Article here. Excerpt:

'Remember back when the mere mention of his name would give you a white-hot jolt to the heart? The sound of his voice was like an exquisite punch to the gut? His hand brushed against yours, and you'd get a warm swelling in the heart region?

Yeah, well these days all you feel is sick to your stomach.

Though it seems most of us spend an inordinate time trying to get one, the truth is, once you land that boyfriend you've always wanted, you discover the truth --relationships can be a giant pain in the rear.

The authoress is Judy McGuire who blabs like a typical USA bitch for the Seattle Weekly.

She has a 2nd rate blog here: http://badadvice.typepad.com/

From the blog you can email her as well. Isn't it odd that her blog is entitled "Bad Advice".

She looks like a fat pig that feels the world revolves around her and probably can't find a quality guy to fall in love with her. It's apparent she has no class via the content in her blog.

The writer of this childish little column is evidently not willing to pay the price of a good relationship. Relationships have a price, and that involves some work, like talking about topics on which two people disagree, and finding a mutually-agreeable solution. This column makes it clear that the writer doesn't want to have to pay that price, that it's simply her way or the highway. A mature relationship instead involves two people really giving their best, trying to have things work out.

It's just to bad that these days women who feel that way about relationships are becoming an extinct species at a terrifying rate. In my line of work I meet many people every day and I witness men every day who are their wide/girlfriends servants rather then partners.
