Tell me something\u2026 Who the hell gets out of a good relationship?\u201d<br \/>\nWhat couple looks at each other and goes\u2026<br \/>\n\u201cHoney, I love you tons.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI love you even more, sweetheart.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cUmm, baby-face, we need to talk.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOf course, darling. Is something wrong, dear? I thought everything was good with us.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo, no, no, no, no cutie-pie. Everything\u2019s wonderful\u2026 In fact, it couldn\u2019t possibly be any better.<br \/>\n\u201cWe get along fantastic. We make each other laugh. We\u2019ve never fought or even had a serious disagreement. Our love life is still fresh and exciting\u2026 and I\u2019ve never been happier in my whole life. Wouldn\u2019t you agree, buttercup?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI feel exactly the same way, handsome. I\u2019m surely the luckiest girl in the whole, wide world\u2026 So what seems to be the problem, honeybunch?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhat I\u2019m trying to say, love bug, is that our relationship has been nothing short of amazing so far\u2026 and I really don\u2019t want to push our luck\u2026 so I think that we should consider breaking-up before things start to go downhill and it begins to suck.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cReally, pumpkin? Do you mean, like a professional athlete who retires when he\u2019s still productive, marketable and in his prime?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s a wonderful analogy, doll-face. Yes, kind of like that.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou know sweet-pea, that\u2019s really not such a bad idea.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYa, sugarplum \u2026 I mean, then we could still be good friends, because we\u2019ll have no lingering resentment or any reason whatsoever to hate each other.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNow that you mention it, munchkin, it would be wonderful to leave each other with nothing but good memories.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThen it\u2019s a deal, sweet-cheeks?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a deal, cupcake!\u201d<br \/>\nCome on\u2026 you know <em>nobody<\/em> is that smart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[22,23,24,25,27,28,32,69],"class_list":["post-1246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-paul-dangelo","tag-dangelo","tag-comedy","tag-comedian","tag-blog","tag-funny","tag-comic","tag-paul-dangelo-paul-dangelo-comedy"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p614ww-k6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1246"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1248,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1246\/revisions\/1248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pdangelo.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
