Book club meets every other month or so. Besides marriage counseling and the very occasional night out with my sister, I’m home twenty-nine nights out of thirty, and still the girls resent me. Not once have they ever complained about Adam’s late meetings–which may or may not have been booty calls for amazing porno sex. Me, I go out to my stupid book club, and I’m punished for it.

About This Quote

If you love someone, and they don’t love you back, what do you do? You keep loving them. Love isn’t something that can be controlled, it is something that must be followed through. If your significant other doesn’t love you back, don’t stop loving him/her, continue to show your love for them and give them the time of day. Be patient and hope that one day they will be able to show their feelings for you.
