AMEN! Life would be easier if others would just drop off the side of the earth but unfortunately, that's not how it works! I think it's actually harder after you get married because it's important to not put yourself in a situation that could lead to something happen. And is that really what bae stands for? Like when high schoolers use it??

i have never heard of this song lol but i totally agree with the point of the post. my husband and i talk about this all the time – we have never and will never cheat but we are human and we have eyes and it's not the end of the world unless you act on it. you know?

I didn't want to like this song when it was first aired and now I sing my pop-loving heart out when it comes on.

The way I knew that DG was the one for me was when he had no problem letting me go out with my girlfriends. It was important to me when we started dating that I maintain my friendships and have that alone time. However, we also instituted date night once a week. We do choose each other every day, which is important to remember. I love that I am still an individual while also having the best possible support person in the background. He's my #bae. 🙂 xo

I totally get what you're saying here (and I do agree with you), but man I hate that song. The tune, the lyrics, etc.
I was talking to two 30-something friends last week and it came on the radio and their point was it's like he's saying "No worries, babe, I won't cheat on you. That's how you know I love you. At least enough to not cheat on you. But that's at this place. Who knows about the next bar I go to." They're married with kids and that's their perspective and I'm probably more of an Andy Grammer "Fine by Me" person anyway.
However, it's worth noting that (showing my age here) I mentioned to some newly married 20-somethings that I'd given Scott a "hall pass" and they thought I was serious.

Love this so much, SO true! Adam and I were just talking about this, how we chose each other wen we said I do, but it doesn't end there. We choose each other every day.

I dont think I have heard this song, but I am digging it. You are so right, commitment is about continuing to choose to stay with someone. I am with you on being careful using the work "allow" because some people's relationships are a bit constrictive and ridiculous. It always baffles me to hear some guys say, well I am not allowed to play video games anymore. Or I am not allowed to grab a drink after work because my wife says I have to come straight home. Like these are things Chris's friends tell him on a daily basis. I guess to each their own, but it is healthy to have a little bit of a life outside of a relationship to remain true to who you are, you know? I adore that picture of you two!

I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about this song... but I like your interpretation! I think it's a relatable thing for most couples. After all, we're only human!

I'm actually impressed I know what song you're referring to because I rarely listen to country music anymore, but I really like it– and I just went to watch the video- soo cute! But okay, I know that's not the point of this post, haha. I definitely was with Jaelan on thinking it was more about being one drink away from cheating, but I like your interpretation much better.

Love this post (and the song too)- it's so catchy!! But you're so right- Ryan always tells me when he gets hit on and that "he's still got it" (men… haha) but I never worry about him because the trust is there and I know we'll always have each other at the end of the day 🙂
