More than BAGS, i say!

Girlfriend: We are breaking up.
Me: Whoa. What happened??
Girlfriend: We had a big fight over his unwillingness to carry my bag.
Me: HUH??????!!!!!
Girlfriend: Yeah. JERK.

I really paused. Really read the above words again and over and again until my eyes could bleed and squirt out metallic tasting stuff.

Breaking up because of that.. that... superficial reason??

Maybe it is a catalyst which led to this. Maybe GF was just waiting for a perfect moment to dump this news to him but doesn't know how thus, this.

I really don't know.

I feel sorry for the guy. Gulp.

Breaking up over such.................... reason. 6 months down the drain like that. Or perhaps it was just her angry words. Who knows, next few days, they are back together again, sticking to each other like uhu glue and this time, i believe HE will be carrying her glittery pink Hello Kitty bag.

Okay. Personal take ya. No offense.

My guy don't have to CARRY my bag for me. Full stop.

Unless I am really sick and looking like the living dead, or I am so freaking tired that i am walking at a speed of the slowest turtle in the world then yes. Maybe i'll ask.

But other perfectly normal looking times, I can very well carry it myself, thank you very much.

Yes, i know i know, it is a really sweet gesture from a male to willingly carry your load (be it your genuine LV or your this-is-not-a-plastic-bag replica) and it makes you feel protected, safe, vulnerable.

But my arm hairs stand when i see manly guys carrying furry pink totes under their hairy armpits and...

*shakes head with gorgeous hair*

That image really doesn't seems right. At all.

And to break up with him because he doesn't wanna carry your bag?

You will be better off without my girlfriend, Mr Guy.

Go find some other girl who can appreciate your personality and for what you stand for and not live under the tyranny of some ............ interesting girls who only view relationships in a very straight forward lens.

Can you imagine having a first date with some guy and here's what might happen:

Furry Pink Tote Girl: Do you like carrying bags for your GF?
Normal Guy: *eyebrows frowing a tad bit* erm, yeah, i guess. When she needs me to, i guess.
Furry Pink Tote Girl: I see.... so you won't volunteer to carry it for her even when she doesn't need to? Like my furry pink and glittery hello kitty bag? Will you carry it for me while we go shopping at orchard?
Normal Guy: *SCREAMING HELP INTERNALLY* i think erm.. i need to go to the bathroom. Emergency.

----

Sweeties, i am not finger pointing ya. Your guy is happy carrying your bag for you, then *YAY, Thank God for such a lovely guy*. But if he doesn't, then Please. In the name of all bagmakers and your own sanity and boobs, don't use it as a reason to break up with him.

Relationships are meant to be more than bags, isn't it??

Especially telling you, my dearest Girlfriend!!!
