FYI, that rules list gets a major overhaul after marriage.

I saw this on FB. So many truths and so many things my wife would have a hard time with before we were married.

Nice! I think I will print this off and give a copy to any potential girlfriend (fiance' and wife) in the future, perhaps have her sign it too

 

[jet_king]

It's missing the most important rule of all!

Don't Date A Musician Who Is In The Band You Are In!

If you've been in a band where this has been the case with two (or more) members, you fully understand.

iJazz - Singer + Drummer = Trouble

I'm sure you guys would know better than me, but at this point in my life if a girl breaks any of those rules, well... theres plenty of fish in the sea!

Took 2 crappy long-term girlfriends to figure that out though...

The "don't start a fight before a show" one is tops. I once dated a girl who, I swear, called me up to start a fight before EVERY show I played while we were together... finally I tried explaining "um, I have to play a show in a few hours and I really don't need to deal with this right now." she completely flipped her lid. She was absolutely insane (like, kept a FAKE ovulation calendar-insane) and I got out of that situation post-haste.

I had one of those. Eventually I figured out she couldn't handle not being the center of attention, not even for a few hours. That's a pretty big red flag, as that type of thinking will guide EVERY decision that person makes.

Too funny...After 20 years though it becomes....."You're here a lot this week, don't you have any gigs to go to?"

I think there needs to be an amendment to this list to include gear, something along the lines of, "it doesn't matter if I can only play one at a time, its always necessary to own more than one", or, "as long as the bills are paid, don't freak out when you notice a new guitar/bass/misc piece of gear sitting in the house"
