Orange is the New Black Vs. Being in a Relationship

     Love is not watching the next episode of Orange is the New Black S. 2 until your boyfriend can watch it with you....yes, I'm constantly weighing watching the next episode and being single with the possibility of "forever;" it's SO close!!!



     It's so weird, ya know, being in a relationship; all of the things that change. When I was single I binge watched ALL of Orange is the New Black S. 1....along with SOA, New Girl, Once Upon a Time, House of Cards, and many, many more.
     Now, most of you are probably thinking, "These shows aren't worth what could be 'love,' but I will tell you....these shows are there for me whenever I need them....pending I have Netflix and internet. =) Also, these shows are KIND OF like being in a relationship:

     1. I think about them when I'm not watching them
     2. I talk about them with my friends and family
     3. I usually have dinner with them (watching them)
     4. I'm all curled up with a blanket in the dark while lost in their essence
     5. I experience a range of emotions with them; laugh, cry....well...choke back tears I pretend not to have, become angry, feel loss when characters die or leave, feel joy when something great happens, etc.

     NOW! I am a VERY faithful girlfriend....and person in general. I don't cheat;never had an inkling to either. But, with that said, I'm finding it VERY difficult to not watch things like Game of Thrones and Orange is the New Black until my boyfriend CAN or WANTS to.

    In fact, I prefer to watch my TV shows like this:


Whereas my boyfriend will be like, "Let's watch an episode or two and then do something else..."

Or he'll watch one episode and then get food. This is me [and friends] while binge watching a show:
"No, no....we can wait to get food till after the next episode....


....okay, after the NEXT episode....."
But usually I'll wait till the season is over:


"Okay, I can eat, shower, go outside, talk to people, and other things that don't 
involve me glued to this show..."
But this is usually what happens once I binge finish a show:


    So....with all of that said. If my boyfriend EVER questions my loyalty to him or my love for him I can say,
"BABY!!! I wait until you and I can watch ________ show together!!!
If that tells you nothing then I don't even know what we're doing anymore!!!"
