The Top 5 Times it Sucks to Be in a Relationship

By Smitten, Glamour Magazine | Love + Sex – 8 hours ago

On Monday Anna gave us a hilarious list of times it sucks to be single, even though she generally loves it. I thought it would only be fair to present the flip side.

Of course, being in a couple is generally pretty awesome, especially when you’re with the right guy. Aww, swoon, etc. But if we’re being honest, there are sporadic occasions when you think “Dang, I miss being single.” It doesn’t mean you’d really give up your man, but here are five times when you might have a case of the grass is always greener in a single person’s yard:

5. That time you have to figure out what in the world you should give his picky mother for Christmas, and your friends just get to blow their end of year bonus on new shoes.

4. That time a sexy guy on the bar stool next to you is flirting up a storm and he looks like a really good time. Meanwhile, your boyfriend’s current idea of a hot makeout session is having you scratch his back while he lays on the couch in his old, stretched out boxer briefs. (You still love him though.)

3. That time you’re having a huge stupid fight in Target and you’re so mad at him you could scream. You could have just bought the freaking paper towels and the cereal that you like on your own with no drama. Blerg.

2. That time he really wants to have sex but you just had a huge burrito and all you want is to be left alone.

1. That time your single friends forget to invite you out to their Friday night dancing and karaoke session because they assume you and the BF are having your usual pizza and Netflix night. Which you are, but those beasts could have at least asked. How dare they have fun without you.

I mean, right guys? Just every once in a while? What other moments do you temporarily hate being in a relationship?
