?Wait a minute! What is this? The Dummy?s Guide? Oh my god, it?s back! It?s back!? screamed one hysterical groupie who ran into me on the street this afternoon. I didn?t know whether to be embarrassed or delighted. In the end, I just managed to nod my head, smile, make appropriate noises, and escape to the safety of my office.
After what seems like a really long time, MirrorCracked is proud to present the rebirth of the Dummy?s Guide series ? the self-help guides that guarantee results. For the uninitiated, check out the other guides here.
This time, I write about a topic in which I have done very extensive research ? women and relationships. I don?t claim to know all the answers, of course, but I know just about enough that is bound to help all those poor souls who are unlucky enough to be trapped in a long distance relationship. I have an ulterior motive in writing this post, obviously. I, too, am stuck in a long distance relationship with a wonderful woman who amazes me with her sudden bouts of weirdness. After a deja vu morning that saw me relive my gory days of 2006, when I was rapidly losing my mind and my hair over a dead-end long distance relationship in the US, I decided to write this guide to help ease the pain and mental agony that many of my fellow men face in similar situations.
Given below are a list of the top five accusations that a unhinged girlfriend/wife/partner can make against you in a long distance relationship, and the appropriate responses that you can use as rebuttal. These responses are guaranteed to ensure a long-lasting feeling of warmth and love in the unhinged girl?s mind, while totally absolving you of any grief, guilt or need. Here goes.
1. You never have the time to talk to me!
I?m sorry, I?ve been too busy talking to other people about you. I?ve been so held up that I haven?t really had time for anything. Everyone around me seems to want to know about you, and I?ve told the story of how we met and fell in love a million times in the last three days! (For added effect: Each time, with a smile on my face.)
2. You don?t communicate enough! I don?t know what?s happening in your life!
If I don?t communicate enough, it?s probably because there isn?t anything interesting to report. In the past few months, the only interesting thing that has happened to me is YOU. There is nothing else happening with me. Without you around, I lead a very boring life.
3. You are never there when I need you the most!
The obvious thing to say would be, ?Well, neither are you, bitch!? but please refrain from doing so. Instead, say this: I know I?ve been preoccupied with certain things of late, but you?re always a priority, darling. I will make sure that I?ll take the effort to be there for you whenever you need me. You?re never off my mind.?
4. I don?t know whether this will work out or not!
Neither did the Shah of Persia, when he set out to walk around the world alone. But he did. He accomplished the seemingly impossible task by sheer faith. Have faith in us, and we will survive. (PS: There was no Shah of Persia, but she need not know that. Forrest Gump is also a good name to use.)
5. My friend saw you with another woman on the bike / car / mall / beach!
It?s true, I won?t deny it. I met a friend from school / college and we went out for a coffee / lunch. She called me a hopeless romantic because all I could talk about was you.?
