Why should we take back our boyfriend and/or General Motors executive when he’s done wrong?

–*He said he will never cheat on you again.

–*He said he wouldn’t spend years building up an inventory of gas guzzling SUVs that he can’t sell even at a discount ever again.

–*He promised to listen to you more, and not take it as a personal attack when you are just voicing your needs.

–*He promised to shut down dealerships across the country, even though that will cost billions.

–*He promised to let you be alone more and not be hurt when you also need a life outside the relationship.

–*He’s cutting the pensions for retirees, which will help him save billions.

–*He promised not to withhold love to manipulate your behavior.

–*And he’ll ram a new contract down the United Auto Workers’ throats.

–*He won’t buy expensive cars on credit cards because he wants a “pussy puller.”

–*Oh, and he won’t build any pussy pullers either.

–*He said he’ll stop treating you as a doormat whose unconditional love he can count on in bad times.

–*He said he’ll stop depending on the unconditional love of tax payers to bail him out when his company is burning through $2 billion a month and only has $16 billion on the books.

–*He won’t abuse you and take all your money.

–*He won’t abuse you and take all your money.

–*He’ll get a real job.

–*He’ll get a real job.
