crazy women

This week's nightlife column focuses on a common male explanation for a breakup:

"She was crazy."

The line has always annoyed me, because I think in the majority of cases it translates into, "She was crazy because she wasn't the female version of me." A big part of every romantic relationship involves putting up with your significant other's quirks and tolerating a couple meltdowns.

But here's the most important thing: You can only attribute your failed relationships to someone else's craziness for so long.

Even if those exes were genuinely bad seeds, you chose to to date them.

So -- at the risk of sounding crazy -- I'll say the problem could be you.
