Is This What Passes For Love These Days?

Not too sure how many readers caught the drama of more than a week ago on my Twitter feed. I was awakened at 2 am to hear the one-sided phone conversation of my neighbor’s drunk grandson. Forgetting that voices carry (or truly just not giving a damn), dude is standing outside yelling into his cell phone. My Twitter feed says it best:
Can’t fall back asleep. Awakened to elderly neighbor’s grandson outside screaming on his girl over phone, the convo wrecked me. 2:17 AM Jan 23rd
He admits hitting her, didn’t mean to do it, and shows how much he loves her. Wants her to have his baby.. Him: just give me my baby #wtf? 2:20 AM Jan 23rd
He’s got to be 20-something, hood dude. Is this what qualifies for love? 2:21 AM Jan 23rd
You jumpin a fence trying to get at me is proof of how much you love me? 2:22 AM Jan 23rd
In between sick twisted “I luv you’s” he has called her all types of names, and asking if she let 8 dude hit it or is she performed ..etc 2:24 AM Jan 23rd
Dude is talkin full throttle. Cussin and crying. Saying he didn’t mean to push her girl “cause he know she pregnant” 2:26 AM Jan 23rd
Wrecked by whole convo. Really? Is this really happening? Please don’t use love’s name in vain to describe that FUBAR dysfunctional crap. 2:31 AM Jan 23rd
My heart hurts. 2:31 AM Jan 23rd
The conversation wrecked me. Is this what love has devolved into?

RE: @20947293 Wow… sigh. I think so though. What many folks believe love is, or how love behaves… often comes down… http://disq.us/bd91n

Wow… sigh. I think so though. What many folks believe love is, or how love behaves… often comes down to disjointed, dysfunctional moments just like this. I remember overhearing a conversation between a couple “in love”… and their dysfunction centered around her man wanting to continue to share her with his fraternity brothers. She was finally getting tired of proving her love to him by sleeping with his boys. I was dumbfounded and my heart hurt to hear the conversation. For many, the price of having a significant other is worth the cost of dignity, sanity and safety.
I'm just not one of those folks.
Adults raised on the video/xbox/BET/MTV diet behave that way. Our future is so bleak if these kids dont grow up and own their lives.
