And still… I was struck by the most recent episode. If you haven’t seen the show, Drs. Grey and Shepherd have been having some problems (shocker).
But in a scene that’s sticking with me...
Meredith challenges Derek, “Well, then why are you with me?”
“Because of that!” he tells her, pointing at the post-it note on the wall over their bed. The one with their marriage vows on it. “Because I meant that. I promised I wouldn’t run. I promised I would love you.”
“Even when you hate me…”
“Even when I hate you!”
This just resonated with me so much. The truth is, anyone who is in a long-term relationship knows what it’s like to love someone even when you hate them. And if you haven’t felt that in your marriage yet, you will.
I have always said falling in love is a feeling but staying in love…that’s a choice.
So way to go, Grey’s Anatomy. For once, I totally forgive you for all the slow motion bedroom scenes, bomb threats, pregnancy scares, cancer episodes, and for killing off George O’Malley. Okay, maybe I’m still mad about that last one. I love you, though. Even when I hate you.
“To love each other,
even when we hate each other.
No running. Ever!
Take care when old,
senile, smelly. This is forever!”
Meredith Grey
Derek Shepherd
What about you? Have you seen any glimpse of real love or relationships on television?

On television? When the trapped miners in Virginia were brought to the surface alive.
Now I have to go watch it! It's on my DVR. And I know...I don't know how these people have so much time for sex. I certainly don't, although goodness knows I make an effort.
Lol...it's crazy how much of our advice we get from Hollywood! I havent seen Grey's since season 2...but the crazy thing is that they have been knocking the boots since season one so I'm not sure how they've graduated!
Basketball Wives! JK!!!

I LOVED that quote! I love the show, but hate how slutty everyone is. haha But seriously, that part was amazing and I admire him for that!
HAHA I love Grey's anatomy. I really want Meredeth to have an affair with Jackson? and I want Lexie to go into a coma and get kicked off the show. I also want Izzy to come back.. sighs. :)
I totally agree. That was such a great scene!! TV rarely goes that direction and once anyone has problems they are out. I thought this was so realistic and refreshing because instead of ending their relationship, they are choosing to stay.
Who knew Grey's Anatomy could have a little bit of truth in it??
