I recently caught up on some of my favorite sitcoms including Hot in Cleveland, Modern Family and Big Bang Theory.
Modern Family is in reruns, but I missed out on the first few episodes and love catching one I haven't seen yet. Two of my good friends are in the first stages of a relationship... "talking" if you will. I'm the lucky one hearing their giddiness from both sides and thinking it's adorable (usually :). For one, this is the first real potential relationship after a five year relationship ended. I've never been in a five-year relationship, but I can imagine embarking on a new one can be intimidating and anxiety-producing! She said a friend reminded her... If that relationship was so good and she felt so loved and loved so much, imagine how great it will be when the relationship is the "right" one or one that lasts. It's comforting to know what we think is the best really isn't.
Phil Dunphy (of Modern Family) chimed in for me on Friday when comforting his oldest daughter's ex-boyfriend. "I know it hurts now, but that's how you know it was a relationship worth having." So comforting and almost frightening to know it came from a sitcom! I think we spend a lot of time wishing we could take it back after a failed relationship, but I like Phil's spin... if it hurts, it was worth having... worth experience and worth going through.
