I’m just going to consider the last two years as Volume 1 of TGDAG, with Volume 2 and Volume 3 coming up over the next couple of years. All great fiction comes in trilogies, whether it’s Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. TGDAG should be no exception.
Go. The chemistry comes and then fades, the other categories don’t. When you’re deep in the relationship and you two come home from a long day of work, get Chinese and watch Netflix, and then he farts (girls never fart) because that Mongolian beef isn’t sitting right, sexual chemistry isn’t what’ll be keeping you together, but all the other qualities of the relationship.
Very solid take. One other thing I’d add is to get in the habit of doing things for your partner just because, without expecting anything in return. This almost killed my relationship with my girlfriend a few months in because a lot of our fights were the product of “I did X, why can’t you do Y?” or “I’m angry at you for A. Yes, but you also do B.” It was the little things that would set these types of fights off, boring errands like washing dishes or taking out the trash could become a nightmare because we were selfish motherfuckers. Took a while to get over it, including realizing that this sort of stuff was driving a massive wedge between us.
Or maybe we’re the exception and most people are much less selfish.
I told my coworkers about it and had the same thing happen. The next day, one of them jokingly (I hope) asked me why I told her to watch an episode about a guy fucking a pig. It was an awkward conversation.
From that point on, whenever I tell people about this show, I tell them to skip that episode and go on to the second one, which also happens to be one of show’s best.
Also, the baby is definitely not her boyfriend’s because her boyfriend has no balls. There’s no way in hell that someone with balls would fuck his girlfriend after she had drunkenly drank with and stayed over at a coworker’s house, regardless whether you had confirmation of that or not.
Girl with the inheritance from the ex – have you thought about donating that money to charity? If they know a cause of death (heart attack?), maybe a foundation that helps with research into that cause?
Posted this on here previously, but if the guy has any semblance of interest in you and self-confidence in himself, he’ll go for the hug upon greeting you. There is no easier way to breach the contact barrier.
Did you mean “pub” and was this a typo? Otherwise, is a “pup” crawl an event where you go around and pet as many good boys and good girls as you can find?
His girlfriend. I’ve actually spoken to him about her a few times over the span of their relationship. A few years back, about 6 months into their relationship, he and I went to a basketball game on a Saturday afternoon. She got upset that he wasn’t spending enough time with her and that he chose to go to the game with me over spending time with her, even though he’d already seen her a few times that week and was going to see her again after the basketball game.
I told him then that this probably wasn’t the best sign, but he didn’t listen. Now, about 2 years later, given that they moved to another city and live together, there’s literally no point in saying anything anymore. Maybe I’ll save one last try for a drunken rant at his bachelor party (assuming she’s not there), but the odds are not in my favor. Saying that she has his balls in a vice-grip is an understatement. But hey, she makes him happy, and at the end of day, I just want my friend to be happy.

Sometimes in life, you just gotta take shortcuts.

Sounds about right. The apology for being a doofus always comes sooner or later.
And then what happens? Genuinely curious for when the apology comes.
And then your wife goes, “Fine, if you don’t want to hang up pictures on the wall, I’m not making you dinner.” and the never-ending cycle begins.

Is anyone else waiting for next week’s entry to start off with Todd waking up in a cold sweat and realizing that this was all a dream?
See: Idiocracy.
Regardless whether they had sex*

Zero positives…except for her pregnancy test.
Did you just wake up from a 60 year-long coma? We’re no longer in 1957.

Has the Korean Hulk tried giving Lindsay some coke? I hear she’s a fan.

Is there anything about your life that doesn’t suck?
