relationship tax

A price you pay for being in a relationship. If your partner wants to do something stupid and/or boring, often times you get suckered into participating for fear of being called not being a supportive partner or cold or a bitch or an asshole or something else lame.
Dude #1:
Wearing that sweater your Mother-In-Law made that your wife thinks "adorable" but made that Leather Daddy downtown "give you the eye", you look like total fagbait in it.

Dude #2:

My wife likes it when I wear it and this morning she said: "Why don't you ever wear that sweater my Mother made for you? She spent hours making it, she spent hours making it, you could at least wear it! Besides, you look adorable in it." I basically wasn't going to get laid tonight if I didn't wear it, it's the relationship tax.

Relationship Shades

Also referred to as relation-shades, this is a severe or extensive blindness to some unfavorable aspect of your partner or relationship which is undetectable to you, but completely obvious to everyone else. Relationship shades usually cloud your ability to see your partner for who he or she really is. Common personality traits which are susceptible to being unseen due to relation-shades include: passive-aggressiveness, extreme jealousy, militant disposition while in the company of any of your partner's friends, and straight-up bitch.
Man, your girlfriend is such an overprotective jealous bitch to anyone who comes within two feet of you.

What are you talking about? She isn't anything like that.

Tell that to the chick she punched out last week for smiling at you, I'm surprised you can see ANYTHING through those damn relationship shades.
