The Best Part of Breaking Up, Is Making Up!




YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS...

Gym: What's wrong? 
You: Nothing!
Gym: Why are you so mad at me?
You: You are so judgmental, that's why! All you do is look at me and judge! I don't do enough. I do too much. Like you're so perfect!
Gym: Well, guess what? I hate being used. All YOU do is use me. Special Occasion? "Let me see if I can lose 10lbs in one workout. "
You: I do not! I use you other times too...
Gym: First date, seeing an old friend, PMS, went out last night and drank too much, & my favorite..."I want to show off this super duper cute workout outfit I just bought"
You: I hate you. 
Gym: I hate you. 
You: I think we should break up. 
Gym: I don't care. Do whatever you want. 
You: Why are you trying to hurt me? 
Gym: Oh please! Drama queen. Just get out. 
You: No, you get out!
Gym: It's my house! 
You: Whatever. 

 Make sure this never happens again!  Read on.
