Bromances, Homances and Other Reasons Why You Aren't In a Relationship

So, from the creators of Laguna Beach, The Hills and other awful shows that prove that white kids have the intelligence of a third grader...comes Bromance. Now I don't know about you, but the fact that Brody Jenner is willing to sit there and say, "Hey I want a new BFF!" is borderline...well, you know where that's going. Like the kid needs the extra money right?

Anyways, so I was talking to one of my friends about his "bromance". Ok, now I completely get the idea that everyone has friends, and everyone has close friends. We all have that go-to person for everything in our life that knows us inside and out and can console us even before we need consoling. (Guys, this would be that dude that brings you beer when you sound sad. Girls, it's your friend that brings over ice cream.) But what happens when you have that one friendship that's just a little "too" close. You know what I mean. Ladies, it's that guy who lives with your potential future husband and who you would seriously think is his hetero-life mate if it weren't for the amazing sex you had last night with him, and guys, it's that girlfriend of your future wife to be who is consulted on EVERYTHING down to which underwear she's wearing on your next date. Scary right? It is.

So, how do you break up the bromance/homance? Simply put, you don't. Stay away from these people. That's the best advice I can give. Eventually the creepiness of the bro/homance will wear itself thin...but if it doesn't, you're better off not joining into a threesome. Because let's be honest, that's truly what it would be. Unless you like that kinky kind of thing...

But really, for all of you people who have these relationships, and you know some of you do, tone them down. Honestly, it's keeping you from having healthy relationships with people. No one wants to feel like they're sharing someone right when they're getting to know them in the relationship sense. So give your bro/homance partner the same advice you should give yourself. Move on and find a life.
