What's this I hear about you possibly dumping your girlfriend? I've been informed that you're a little on the fence regarding the idea -- not sure what to do, wondering whether your girlfriend is good enough for you? Hey look, I don't really know you all that well, or your lady for that matter. But I feel as if I should let you in on something -- not a dirty little secret about what she's really doing with her gal pals on Thursday nights -- but rather clue you in to a few things that you may have overlooked when contemplating the breakup.

It's a tough thing to say goodbye to someone you have been with for any length of time. And sometimes your perspective can be skewed, time having blurred the memory of all the great little things about her that do it for you.

You may believe that this is no big issue. Perhaps it is not, and my insight is not required. However, there are many guys out there without a girlfriend who would jump at the chance to get their shot at what is currently yours. Do I have your attention?

Here's a list of five things that you might have overlooked or, at the time, didn't think were so substantial, but in the wake of current events are a little more relevant than previously thought:

5. Blow Job Week

Any man who has dated a woman knows what I'm talking about. And even for those new to the dating arena, you probably know about that week every month that is usually off-limits. It's the time when, yes, they get a little kooky and overly emotional, and it's usually the time they need you most.

Even so, your girlfriend is kind enough to bypass the fact that she may not be getting much in return, and elects to pleasure you anyway. She's hornier than at any other time of the month right now, but is choosing to go to town on you. Your girl isn't shying away from being with you, though she thinks that you secretly believe she is putting on weight. How cool is this? A week of blow jobs.

If your girl is like this, then she is probably pretty excellent at them by now. Lucky son-of-a-bitch, you are.

4. Letting It Slip

Hey, what's that smell? Who in Sam Fuck just let that one go? Did you just die out of your ass? Good Christ!

Yeah, I'm about to walk away. If you can't leave the friggin' room when you need to do that kind of damage to the air supply, I don't particularly need to be around ya right now. Next time you order Indian or Thai, be a pal and forget my number for the evening.

Your girl isn't dropping bombs in your face, is she? And in fact, she isn't going anywhere -- she's a better person than I, that's for sure. Go take part in the monthly oral festivities for all I care, I need to get outta this house!

3. The Hair on Your Ass… It's Cute

How this can ever be understood is unimaginable. Being a Canadian, and living in the cold for half a year, I need a little back there to keep me warm. Hell, I know it's not attractive, but it's needed… I don't like that cold!

It's the same with you? Yeah, a lot of guys are like that, except for the waxers… oddballs that bunch. Funny thing is, our lady friends don't seem to mind. As I said, I don't get it, and I understand even less how our ass remains "cute" in light of this fact.

I know all women are not like this, that's for damned sure. Some are incredibly demanding and will attempt to change every conceivable facet of your existence. From your eating habits to the clothes you wear to the beer you aren't allowed to drink anymore, it's all up for grabs.

Sounds unbearable, right? I think so too, but I'm not the one leaving my girl for greener pastures.

2. Accepts The Fact You Live With Porn

Pornography is a part of every man's life. The odd guy may not keep a stash in the house, but don't think that he isn't noticing those late night cable shows that aren't exactly on the air for their plot twists. I've known a lot of women in my time, and I've dated a few as well. Some accepted that I keep a stash, and some really didn't.

From Fem-Nazis to the insecure teenage girl, there are a lot of ladies out there who are not going to understand (and therefore accept) the fact that you like looking at these other women. Nix that, sometimes you absolutely need to look at these other women. It's not that you think they're better than her, more important than her, or what you really want instead of her. It's a biological thing, and you're getting your fix this way rather than down at the college pub or the friendly neighborhood brothel.

Hold on, you didn't know there were women like this? Oh, your girl never hassles you about it. I understand, mine neither. It makes relationship life much much easier when she understands you like she does. Now, getting her to like it… that would be perfection.

1. She's Dating You

I know that I wouldn't. Don't take it personally, but I'm sure a lot of women are thinking the same thing too. You're not everyone's type even though you'd give your left arm if you could be.

There are probably a million reasons that this incredibly beautiful, intelligent women has decided to spend a considerable amount of her prime with you. The talk of commitment and a future makes you a little uneasy, but also oddly fascinates and consumes you. The mere fact that she has been with you since you were broke (and generally amounted to nothing), but are now making yourself into something, might suggest it's not all about the money. It's not all about moving up in the world and tiding herself over until the next big thing sweeps into her life. If it were, why, when you believed you had nothing going for you, did she decide otherwise?

I'm not advocating complacency over chance; I really don't think you should either. Do what you are comfortable with and ready to do. I just want you to think about the other side of the equation, because it is often overlooked in the quest to add another notch to our proverbial belt.

Men are not monogamous by nature, this is biological fact. Sometimes the situation is just right, but the little reasons why are forgotten when a sexy lady goes prancing by. Try your best to never take things for granted, and remember what keeps you both together.

Maybe the situation, and your girl, are right for you. Maybe, just maybe, when you do end up dropping her, you'll regret it from one relationship to the next.
