From the very beginning, I knew I was in a bad relationship. I knew what I was getting involved with when I started dating her, but did I ever think that it would ever get this bad?

But after two long years on August 22nd, I’m going to break up with Sprint.

Long before we started going out, I heard tons of stories about what kind of girl she was. “She goes out with anybody”, “She give good ‘reception’ even in remote places”, “She’s a cheap date”, “She not a very good listener”…

Despite all this, I knew I had to have her. I’d tried the others, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T (I knew long her before she got married to that Cingular dude), but she was the only one that gave me any play. I think the other’s heard of my reputation, something about my credit score or something.

So when I finally asked her out I got a shock. She wanted a solid commitment for two years! Two years?! That’s crazy I thought… but she’s so hot I thought! So I did it.

Two years later, here I am. Sick to death of her.

At first everything went great, I was happy, she was happy. We were great together. She treated me nice, I felt popular, I got invited out to dinners, I went out to clubs and met my friends. My social life suddenly opened right up.

But just like anything that starts out beautiful, it eventually becomes ugly.

I started to notice that she wasn’t listening to me as much. Felt like she wasn’t paying attention to when I paid the bills and stuff. I felt like I was talking to a brick wall sometimes.

But I carried on. Carried on through the dropped calls, the bad reception, the ‘headaches’, the poor volume, the huge bills… and everyone noticed that I’d changed too. “You sound like you’re talking into a hose pipe duct taped to a tin can”.

But on August 22nd, on our two year anniversary, I’m going to break up with her. I know it’s harsh. On our anniversary and all. But she’s a tough. And they’ll be another sucker to take my place.
