Don't stick it in the crazy.

I think this is an important marker delineating the passage to adulthood, when a young man finally realizes that although they're fun in the short term, crazy chicks are a poor long term investment.

I was talking to a group of stagehands recently, and they were ribbing one for his tumultuous relationship with a gorgeous stripper who was also batshit crazy.

"Having fun?" I asked.
"Most of the time" he replied.
"Are you gonna marry her?"
"Hell, no!"
"Then have fun while it lasts. Bail out when it starts to get ugly, and whatever you do, don't knock her up" I advised.

 
Sometimes you need others to point out the obvious. About 6 years into the relationship, my Dad, who I have never know to give advice on such things, said to me Do you really want to deal with that for the rest of your life?
It carried weight.
