There’s something to be said for the mushy, Valentines-esque quotes that invoke special and sparkly feelings.

For real – anyone who’s been in a relationship longer than three months knows that once the honeymoon stage is over, shit gets real … and fast.
So for your enjoyment, here are some quotes from people who knew what the real world looks like and who weren’t afraid to tell it like it is:
- “If you want loyalty – get a dog. If you want loyalty and attention – get a smart dog.” – Grant Fairley
- “Whenever I date a guy, I think, is the man that I want my children to spend their weekends with?” - Rita Rudner
- “By the time you swear you’re his, Shivering and sighing, And he vows his passion is, Infinite, undying — Lady, make a note of this: One of you is lying.” - Dorothy Parker
- “Marriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.” - Erma Bombeck
- “The man who says his wife can’t take a joke, forgets that she took him.” - Oscar Wilde
