    Damn...I like the song but...no. This sounds horrible. That he never takes her feelings into account/doesn't understand how she feels, she's pissed off at him all the time, he texts while she's playing with their kid...idk man, that is not what I call a good relationship.

    And everyone saying love takes work...I don't think it does. Being with someone you love should be the easiest decision. It shouldn't be a difficult decision. And yes, arguments and fights and all that happen, but they shouldn't be constant, and yes, you will piss each other off occasionally, but I feel like love should be like a close friendship—it doesn't take work to be friends with someone if you are good friends with them, and it shouldn't take OMG so much work to be in love. For me, anyway. I can't deal with the drama (2 1/2 years in a relationship, living with my partner now, my experience with him has been minimal arguing and we're pretty happy...)

      I agree with you. I used to tell myself love is work and hard, and painful... But that's because I was incompatible with my partner. I've met someone that I'm so compatible with now. We are so happy. I tell him almost everyday how wonderful and easy it is to love him. And he tells me the same. Yes, we have tension. No, we don't "fight". We bring up shit as sooooon as it happens so it doesn't turn into a fight. And no, the fact that we don't fight doesn't mean we "lack passion" or are "unhealthy". All couples are different, but I don't like glorifying "passionate fighting". So many quotes. Sorry bout that.

      That's great that that's what works for you, but that's not for everybody. I agree with you when it comes to my own intimate relationships. My partner and I have been together 3.5 years, rarely argue, and have figured out how to have conflicts in a productive way.

      But I can tell you that that's not what works for some people. I have taken several classes about intimate relationships, and some people just don't love that way and that's okay for them. It doesn't have to be okay for you. They have really high highs and really low lows. As long as both people are satisfied with the relationship and as long as there is no violence, then it works. These relationships aren't necessarily abusive, and I think they get stigmatized that way.

    Who among us has never felt like this: "At the same time I want to hug you/I wanna wrap my hands around your neck/You're an asshole/But I love you/and you make me so mad I ask myself why am I still here… I really hate you/So much it must be true love."

    Me. I've never thought this. Like evvvvvvvvver.

      Seems like some people might have inner anger issues.

    I love how honest Pink's lyrics are about her relationship. I remember in So What, when she sang that she was mad at Carey so she wasn't going to pay his rent, and I was like, Damn, girl, you just putting it out there like that, huh? Her songs are so emotionally honest, and I am happy that they continue to make their relationship work, and aren't afraid to show that it takes work.

      God, I love this family.

      I like most of Pink's music just fine, but her lyrics and themes are just the best. And I love the acknowledgment that love is hard. But worth it.

        Yes, I've thought it before, but I'm thinking again: I want to be friends with them.

        AND, I love my little boy, but whenever I see a little girl bouncing around with teeny little pigtails, I think "okay, maybe *one* more..."

      If anyone is interested, you can get that stuffed carrot from IKEA. It should be on clearance now..or on sale. I don't even have kids and I recognize that carrot.

      She has such an awesome voice and she's very charismatic, but WHY THE FUCK can't she get better material? Her music and lyrics are such throwaways. She could be so much more if only she'd get a better team around her. It's frustrating to see wasted talent!

        I'm pretty sure she's the songwriter? I know she's written songs for other people, so it seems logical she'd write her own.

      Oh man. This is me and my ex boyfriend. EX boyfriend.

      It's admirable that they are working it out but according to a lot of her other songs, there is A LOT to work out.

          They look like such a happy family. It brings a smile to my face to see them all together.
