Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three
Marshall couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being followed by someone (or something) and his nervousness probably showed when he came into class. He was looking under his desk when he noticed it was time for class to start.
“Oh hey--OW!” Marshall hit his hand on the underside of the desk. He waved his hand at his students. “Don’t worry about me, I’m used to doing that.”
“For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Marshall Eriksen and I’ll be teaching you about relationships this semester. I guess I should start by telling you about my relationship experience. Uh, I’m married to Lily Aldrin, who is teaching here. We’ve been married for almost three months now. I realize that’s not very long but I’ve been in the same relationship for almost ten years,” Marshall said, smiling. “So if you’re interesting in being in a long-term relationship, you’re not going to get a much better teacher than me.”
“I understand that some of you might have been in a relationship class with Professor Stinson before,” Marshall sighed and scratched his head. “It’s probably best if you just forget everything he’s ever taught you. The man knows how to pick up chicks but he’s not so good at keeping them. Mostly because he doesn’t want to.”
“So this semester we’re going to cover how to meet members of the opposite (or same) sex, what to do on dates, how to balance friendships and relationships, meeting the family and, most importantly, what to do when fights come up,” he said. “And they are going to come up. There’s no such thing as a fight-free relationship.”
“Today let’s start by introducing ourselves. Tell me your name, where you’re from, what you’re looking for in a significant other--Jesus!” Marshall thought he saw a flicker of movement coming from the corner of the room and jumped. “I-I’m sorry. Thought I saw something...awful.”
Marshall looked warily over at the corner again but saw nothing. “If you have any questions for me feel free to see me after class.”
[OCD up!]
