He/She Is Just Not That Into You....

Relationships are dicey. Sometimes it fits like a glove. Sometimes it's like
rollerskating on ice. Relationships can be spent fielding sweet words or
dodging a steak knife.

A new movie is out called "He's Just Not That Into You." It's about relationship and how fragile and crazy they can be in the Internet, text message, email, and
cell phone age.

That sparked a pretty good newsroom discussion of what signs should be huge red flags that a relationship is in trouble. Check the list and see if you recognize
any of these warnings.

German shepherds growl whenever his/her name is mentioned.

He/She says "There is just to much of your crap on the walls here."

He/She says "Have you ever wondered what it was like to be buried alive?"

He/She says "The utility bill was never this high before you moved in."

Hannibal Lecter won't take his or her calls.

He/She uses Tarot Cards to decide between Ranch or Thousand Island.

Tells you the "Death Card" from the Tarot deck really isn't that bad a card.

Every time you walk in the room, he/she turns "The Exorcist" off of the DVD player.

You've actually killed him/her three times and they keep coming back.

He/She says this new makeup covers up the 3 sixes tattooed on my check.

He/She reminds you to drink a lot after playing a round of golf but before driving
home.

He/She brings a woodchipper into the backyard and you have no trees.

He/She talks to plants, flowers, herbs, animals, and spirits but not to you.

Adult relationships are works in progress. But my "expert advice" is that you are
either on board or not.

Do you have any signs, serious or fun, that say a relationship is in trouble?
Send them to me at greg.screws@whnt.com and I will put them on the blog.

Thanks for watching!
