Saturdays are for the boys!

Saturdays are for getting drunk and rowdy!

Saturdays are for catching this one girl’s attention!

Saturdays are for leaving the boys hanging to talk to her!

Saturdays are for ditching the boys for date night!

Saturdays are for ditching the boys again for another date night!

Saturdays are for meeting her parents and friends!

Saturdays are for moving in, because, whoa, this relationship is getting serious!

Saturdays are for snuggles and deep talks!

Saturdays are for contentment because you think you found the “one”!

Saturdays are for the boys, who text that they miss you!

Saturdays are for reuniting with the boys, who berate you for choosing a girl over the boys!

Saturdays are for letting the boys get to you, questioning if she loves you as much as the boys love you!

Saturdays are for moments of doubt!

Saturdays are for staggering back home, drunk, saying some things you shouldn’t have said, and winding up sleeping on the couch!

Saturdays are for apologizing, saying you didn’t mean it!

Saturdays are for the boys, again, even though she throws up her hands and asks “Really?!” as you leave… for the boys!

Saturdays are for staggering back home, drunk, saying some things you shouldn’t have said, and winding up sleeping on the couch- again!

Saturdays are for when she asks who you love more, her or the boys!

Saturdays are for promising that you’ll make some changes!

Saturdays are for relationship therapy, because you can’t afford to take off work on the weekdays!

Saturdays are for laying off the boys!

Saturdays are for the boys, because, hey- you relapsed!

Saturdays are for waking up, hungover, and finding out she’s leaving!

Saturdays are for laughing it off, telling yourself she’s bluffing and she’ll be back!

Saturdays are for the boys, who tell you that the only thing you need are the boys!

Saturdays are for coming back home drunk back to an empty bed, finding out she’s still gone!

Saturdays are for late night drunken calls, telling her that you’re sorry so many Saturdays were for the boys, and that this time you’ll change, you mean it!

Saturdays are for telling her she doesn’t believe you and hangs up abruptly!

Saturdays are for letting that silence sink in!

Saturdays are for crying yourself to sleep!

Saturdays for your neighbors telling you to man up and shut up- you’re keeping the kids up!

Saturdays are for the boys, because you can’t stand the emptiness of your apartment!

Saturdays are for the boys, but you realize you also feel empty inside!

Saturdays are for realizing there’s more to life than the boys and drinking!

Saturdays are filled with despair and panic, questioning if you’ll ever change at all!

Saturdays are for the boys!
