THIS is a story... this is a story... this is a story about love. And a little bit of hate. And a little bit of respect. And a little bit of commitment. And a little bit of icing on top. And maybe a little bit of polygamy.
Close by... earth...
In a world 100 miles from earth...lets call it earth two...
A couple moved in together only because he did not have enough money to get his own place.u00a0 She was fine with that. At least in the beginning.
In a world 100 miles from earth two...lets call it earth three....
A couple moved in together because they wanted to preview married life.u00a0 The plan was simple.u00a0 If shit worked out then in one year they would tie the knot and live happily ever after (ha ha ha..earth three people sure are stupid).u00a0 If they fell apart then at least they didn't have to go through a divorce. At least in the beginning.

A couple moved in together.u00a0 Just because they wanted to dam it!u00a0 But they were free to be with other people too.u00a0 An open relationship if you will.u00a0 These earth four people had it all figured out.u00a0 At least in the beginning.
Tick Tock Tick Tock...
Close by ... earth...
The woman started having those urges... oh those urges of motherhood and marital bliss (?) and the man, well lets just say started having urges.u00a0 She got down on her knees and asked for marriage.u00a0 He asked for time.u00a0 After 5 years she had run out of time.u00a0 So she decided to move on. And moved out.u00a0 So did he.u00a0u00a0 But that's not important is it since this is a chicks story.

He had lived with her for almost a year and still had no money. He wanted her to sit at home with him and hang out all day, dreaming of love and honeybees. All of a sudden he didn't seem so endearing. She tried to be nice and push him to get a job in the subtlest way she could but he didn't take the hint.u00a0 So she asked him to move out.u00a0 But he had no money to move out.u00a0 So she did.

The first 3 months were fantastic.u00a0 They did everything together.u00a0 They picked out the furniture, they picked out the color of the walls, they chose the bathroom tiles and they decided on the television brand. The kitchen was her responsibility and the food on the table, his.u00a0 In the fourth month he started 'happy houring' with his coworkers almost everyday.u00a0 He started coming home past 9, sometimes 10, sometimes 11, and sometimes 12.u00a0 She used to wait around by the dining table but gave up soon.u00a0 That's the thing about women these days.u00a0 They learn fast.u00a0 She decided to get her own job and her own food and her own happy hour.u00a0 He couldn't handle that and decided that she wasn't marriage material. He moved out and found himself a cook this time.

She was delighted to get attention from 5 men at the same time.u00a0 Men love women who don't seek attachments.u00a0 He was also happy wooing his own harem.u00a0 They spent time with each other on their off nights and spoke of their other lovers casually. Right!u00a0 Till one day, the woman fell in love with lover 3.u00a0 Lover 3 wasn't ready for LOVE.u00a0 Lover 3 already had his love at home.u00a0 She decided she couldn't live with a man when she was in love with someone else.u00a0 So she moved out.u00a0 And gave up her harem.u00a0 The men continued hareming.
Overheard: man asking his mother, "When will I find the perfect woman?" to which she said, "stop worrying about the perfect woman and work on making yourself the perfect man."
Will somebody please build earth five quickly!u00a0
