How Many Half-Persons Does It Take to Screw in a Lightbulb?


As I've been grappling with hard questions about my relationship with Todd, myself in my relationship with Todd, and relationships in general (especially the things that make some healthy and some toxic), I've gone back to thinking about movies, as is my habit. When I think about all the movies that present the most dysfunctional of relationships as "romantic," it's no wonder so many relationships are messed up!

I'm only going to mention one for now: Jerry Macguire and the famous line, "You complete me." 


  • Q: How many half-persons does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 
  • A: I don't know, but I do know that it only takes one or two to screw up a relationship.... 
We need to be complete as individuals before we can be part of a healthy relationship.

So, in appreciation of that fact, I give you... the line.... Take away the pretty faces and see how ridiculous it is?
