Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three

“So you’ve guys survived first dates, first kisses and are now in an established relationship. Yay!” Marshall said, clapping his hands together. “You now have a person to share everything with and spend every waking moment with. Okay, maybe not every waking moment, cause you don’t see Lily in here right now, but close.”

“Part of your responsibilities when you get into a relationship is integrating your girl or boyfriend in with your friends or family. Mixing your friends with your significant other shouldn’t be too hard. After all, you and your friends have stuff in common and you and your girl/boyfriend have stuff in common. The logical assumption would be that your friends and your boy/girlfriend would have stuff in common,” Marshall said. “Easy. My wife and I have all the same friends. Except for Brad. But he and I have a weird relationship…”

Marshall coughed. “Anyways. Family is not as easy. Your friends are protective but your family is super, super protective. And your family is also more likely to tell embarrassing stories and break out pictures of you. No, they don’t really hate you. They just care in a mean fashion.”

“And it’s just as nerve-wracking when you meet someone else’s parents for the first time. The most important thing to do in that situation is relax and be yourself. The first few times you meet your significant other’s parents you should treat them like you would treat your boss,” he said. “Be polite but be interesting. If they make a mean comment to you just pretend to ignore because you don’t want to get fired. And no sex stories.”

“So today we’re going to watch a movie about somebody meeting someone’s parents for the first time. This is pretty much a “what not to do” video,” he said. “Have fun!”

You have to see a West Virginia to believe it. All the rumors are true.

I actually drove through West Virginia very briefly last fall. Seriously, I was only in the state for maybe 20 minutes on the way back from Pennsylvania. I blinked and I was in Ohio all of a sudden.
