Sometimes a girl will try hard to make a bad relationship work because she feels pressure to be dating someone, anyone, and doesn’t want to live life solo again. There’s something nice about having a warm body to come home to on a Friday night, a person to call when you’re bored, and someone to share the details of the day with. You might feel pressure to keep the wrong guy around if:
  • A string of nights out with bad dates who pick their teeth and burp at the table leaves you certain the new guy is worth marrying immediately.
  • The “his and hers” bathrobe advertisement makes you feel that you should be settling down sooner rather than later.
  • The fifth horrendous bridesmaid dress you have to buy makes you really eager to return the favor by making your friends wear lime green hoop gowns.
  • The reflection of your bare arms in a department store mirror leaves you certain no man alive will look your way again other than the one you’re now dating, who knew you prepoundage.
  • You can’t get the lid off the pickles by yourself… again.
  • You can’t figure out how to use half the tools in the toolbox under your sink.
  • You’re tired of installing the air conditioner by yourself every spring.
