How to be happy for the rest of your life.

So the other night we were channel flipping and saw a segment of this show The City. I'm so confused by this show, first of all. Is it reality? Scripted? I have no idea. Don't bother watching it because I can't even explain the level of stupidity to this show. This is why we didn't have cable until a few months ago.

So anyway, on the show Whitney and her boyfriend Jay meet for dinner and Jay breaks the news to Whitney that he has to go on tour with his band. And he's leaving in 5 days. Whitney asks how long he knew about this? Oh, about a month, he says.

Cut to Bryan laughing. Then,

"Hey, look, she's all irritated now."

Then Whitney starts getting her stuff together to leave the restaurant. Bryan is all "Okay this is where you say 'I'm sorry, it's my fault, I should have told you'. Come on, say it!"

It's like he's watching a horror movie and yelling at the dumb girl DO NOT GO DOWN INTO THE DARK BASEMENT YOU DUMMY.

As with the horror movie, Jay fails to hear the handy advice and just sits there looking confused. Whitney gets up and leaves, Jay watches her go sadly.

Bryan is like, "That would have been me in the beginning of our relationship."

"Oh yeah, and what exactly have you learned so far?" I ask.

"I need to tell you every little plan or thought of a plan I might have to do anything. Don't leave things until the last minute. Especially if it involved me actually going somewhere. Also: just say sorry."

Folks, I'm pretty sure that is the secret to a happy marriage.
