Am I broken in?

During my BM (before marriage) days, a girlfriend and I were going through a potential-breakup moment. We probably both shared some blame but I don't recall who/what/why?

What I do remember, as we discussed reconciliation, was a comment she made regarding the value of staying together. She stated that she didn't want to deal with the aggravation of having to break someone else in.

If you Really Loved Me, then…

Do you ever find yourself in a love contest with your mate?

A girlfriend once asked me to do something for her. I don't recall what it was but I do remember saying that I really didn't want to, with a sense that the request would have been very inconvenient to me.

She then said, 'if you really loved me (her) then you'd do this for me (her). My immediate reply was, lets not get into a who-loves-who-the-most contest.
