If a friend of mine calls me from jail at 2am because they got a DUI and need to be bailed out, fine, I'll be there as quickly as I can - we all make mistakes. The next time it happens call someone else.

This has worked great with dating. I walk away from bullshit and drama. After you've walked away from a dozen relationships "quickly once there is bullshit or drama, the one you are currently dating quickly pick up on this - you get once chance and that's it. Most chicks were gone in a month or two; Anyone who lasted past that was drama free for the most part.

My wife and I have been together for twenty years, and we've had one fight: July 2nd, 2006. I won the fight at the time, but years later she was in fact proven right. My kid is the same way - drama free.
