Okay, is it just me, or are personal relationships the hardest thing ever to endure? I mean, some exceptions aside, like concentration camps and living under a republican administration (although, in all fairness, it's getting harder to tell them apart from democrats, am I right?), hands down, the most excruciating, painful and generally, all around, unpleasant thing we all must deal with in our daily existence is our interaction with our sex mates... Period!
It's hard work, man...It takes effort, commitment and then more hard work on top of that... I don't give a shit what's your inclination... You know what I'm talking about...
And it's not only our perception of our relationship, but that of anyone in direct contact with us... Our friends, our families, some right-wing nut bent on sending us straight to Hell, or a relative asking when are you gonna have kids already (on occasion, it's the very same person!)...
They all get a say on what a "healthy" relationship is...and that's just a little too much social pressure for my taste...
...And I guess that's what I tried to convey with this little panel...
Sometimes you can be very alienated by the very person that's supposed to understand you more than anyone else in the world... Or just be totally alienated by the fact that, despite your seemingly insurmountable differences, you're perfect for each other!
Note: The little guy in the corner is a very old character that's been with me for a long time... His name's Murph the Rat and this is his first cameo appearance...applause...then silence...now I'm sad...
