I Love You! .......P.S. You suck.

I’m sure everyone’s heard the phrase, “Love means never having to say your sorry” and I’m sure everyone’s also heard the debate or the counterpoint of “Love means having to say your sorry more”. I don’t really know if there is a right or wrong answer to this. I truly believe that everyone should apologize if they do something wrong. Whether it’s to that creepy next door neighbor or a loved one. But does being in a relationship mean that you get a blurred line between the necessity of an apology and the choice of one? I don’t believe in apologizing if you don’t think you’re wrong. What’s the point? The apology doesn’t mean anything if you don’t mean it, so why waste your time and delude the person you’re apologizing too? But if you love someone, doesn’t that warrant more apologies? Or are you deserved of a benefit of the doubt because that person loves you? Is it fair to think that way? Doesn’t that in fact simply mean that because that person cares for you they should have to put up with your crap? Who honestly would accept that deal? And the way I see it, if both parties are putting up with each others crap, and no ones apologizing because they think the other one loves them……isn’t that a really frustrating relationship? Isn’t that basically the one thing that every person who’s dating dreads? Isn’t it, in fact, simply taking the other person for granted? Just a thought….
