The Seven Deadly (Relationship) Sins - Part 2
Lust
Everyone knows that lusting after other men is a big relationship no-no, but even lusting after your own man can be a dangerous sin. Have you ever found yourself too busy making out to ask him about his day? Know his favorite position but not his middle name? Does movie night always turn into "movie" night? Unless you pry yourselves apart long enough to have a vertical conversation, the only thing you'll be lusting after is the relationship you just kissed goodbye.
Envy
Mark Zuckerberg is a genius, but he's never been a jealous girlfriend; no nosy collegiette™ could stay sane spending hours re-reading flirty wall-to-walls, scanning incriminating spring break pictures, and commenting on statuses of girlfriends past. I will spare you hours of wasted time, countless fights, and the pain of envious snooping. Your boyfriend has kissed other girls; his ex-girlfriend is still alive; he thinks his lab partner is cute; attractive women occasionally find him attractive; not everyone in his life knows you exist. But he still (probably) likes you a lot, so save your relationship by easing up on the Facebook envy. Your boyfriend will "like" it.
Gluttony
Listen up, girl who practically hibernates in a love nest of cuddle sessions and movie nights: too much of a good thing can be a very, very bad (not to mention annoying) thing. If you're realizing that you forgot your best girlfriend's phone number because you've been so busy spending every waking moment canoodling with your man, throw out your copy(s?) of The Notebook, cover up your hickies, and remember everything else that's important in your life. Not only will your friends and family appreciate your return to society, but also your smothered boyfriend will finally get to re-join his fantasy football league and enjoy a guys' night in peace. Think of it as saving room for dessert.
We all can be sinners when it comes to love, and our guys can be guilty, too. So if you're a relationship glutton, greed, or angry girlfriend (or if you feel inclined to subtly send this to someone who is…), vow to suck up your pride (*see: pride) and atone for your sins!
