Is single, in a relationship, engaged, its complicated.

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but every blog that I have stumbled upon has at least one post where they say they love their boyfriends to bits. Sure, the grammar will send an English teacher nuts enough to yank out all her hair, but essentially the message is the same. They love their BFs.

There is the ones who make a poem out of how their BFs love them for who they are, that they know their tastes in ice cream, her favourite colour, her favourite designer, her favourite everything down to the very pore of her body. It never rhymes those poems, but hey it's the I love yous that count in that rhyme-less, stanza-less, whatevernot you need in a poem-less, that matters.

And there there are those blogs where 99% of the posts are filled with pictures of two sickly sick "in love" couple where they are sucking face all the time. (just in case you didn't know they are in love). And then down there right after your eyes have literally melted into a huge mess of plasma from the sheer amount of sucking face pictures, is the small little heart right between I and You.

Then there are those blogs where there are about 20 pictures of every morsel of food they put into their tummies, TOGETHER. Here's what he ate, here's what I ate, here's what he drank, here's what I drank, here's where we are. PICTURES! Here's what I wore and here's what he wore, and here's what he ate..wait, I said that already. PICTURES!

Oh and for all these blogs, they have a little ticker factory where it says "how many days and how many minits and how many nanosecond since the day *insert small heart* and I met/have been together/starting sucking face/ eating together/ whatnot.

I know. It's their blog. And they can put whatever they want about it. But is there really a need to tell everybody how much you love your boyfriend? And how long you guys have been together. Must everybody know who your boyfriend is? And what he does for you, all documented in detail?

What happened to privacy? And mystery ? What happened to keeping things between the two of you? Must we all find the need to click on Facebook " In a relationship" "engaged" "married to" and when you're back to "single" it's as if the Titanic sank just yesterday and everybody wants to know why. Like. right. now.

I don't know about the rest of you. But if people know I have a boyfriend, that's fine by me. But if they don't it's okay. I am not about to document it in detail. Besides, if I find the need to tell the whole world I have a boyfriend, I might as well tell the Boyfriend to pee all over me to mark his territory.
