My friend filled my glass, and began to explain his theory (roughly translated from Japanese). *
“The most important thing in a relationship isn’t if you fight, it’s if you overcome your fights,” he said. “If you and your girlfriend successfully overcome 17 fights, then you know you are okay.”“But if, for example, one decides to break up with a girl with whom one’s already overcome 17 fights, well that person is in for a lot of work.”
“Let’s say, for example, that you and your girlfriend have overcome more than seventeen fights, but, just for example, you meet some girl that you think you might like more than your current girlfriend. So you you break up with your current girlfriend.”
“You and your new girlfriend have a fight, but you make up. So you think you are okay. But you don’t even know anything yet. You have another fight, but you still don’t know anything yet.”
“You’re just stuck waiting until you’ve had 17 fights with your new girlfriend, and that’s the only time that you can even start comparing her to your old girlfriend.”
So there you have it. The Rule of 17 Fights.
* SLIGHTLY PARANOID DISCLAIMER:
As I feel the need to mention quite often on this blog, most everything here is a touch blurred by the double haze of translation and memory. But I do my best.
