I am a trooper and unhealthy relationships suck.

Last week I was hit with the plague - good news is that I got to catch-up on all my Jon & Kate Plus Eight episodes. Bad news I used some of the PTO time that I was going to use for our Mexican Holiday (coming up on 8/31).

I started my last semester of law school and my professor is psycho. If your reading this professor - I think your psycho and please turn down the air conditioning in our classroom.

So I am a trooper because I did a wedding on Saturday (while I was in the middle of the plague) and it was awesome. Then I had a lovely dinner party on Sunday night, (I was convinced the plague was gone by then), in celebration of my friend Awna leaving for France at the end of the month. Thank you again Peggy for the lovely creme puffs which capped off a lovely french themed meal.

The thing that is weighing heavily on my mind this week is people who choose to surround themselves with unhealthy relationships - whether it be a friend, co-worker, husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. So, I would like to end this week by putting my two cents in about things that might lead you to think your are in an unhealthy relationship:
1) When the person meets your parents they bring a fifth of _______ (fill in the blank).
2) When the person is meeting your friends for the first time at a bar, they walk to the bar first before saying hello to your table.
3) The person is not employed.
4) The person is physically abusive.
5) The person leaves nasty vm for your family members/friends.
6) The person tries to physically abuse your family/friends.
7) You find yourself making excuses for the persons behavior.
8) The person has cheated on you, or you think the person may have cheated on you.
9) The person doesn't take you on actual dates. You just hang out.
10) You think the person might have a criminal past.
11) You have never met the persons family.
12) The person gives you hickeys.
13) You think the person might be an alcoholic - but they would never admit it.
14) The person has damage to their car because of an alcohol related incident.
15) You were in the car when #14 happened.
16) Your relationships with the people closest to you begins to fade because they don't like the person in question.

I am done.
