Christmas Day can be a stressful time when seeking to accommodate family, friends and your significant other. However, some discover the hard way that their significant other has other obligations when it comes to relationships.
The person who wined and dined you all year can show their true colors when it matters the most.
Here are five signs that you might be a side piece on Christmas Day.
Your significant other wants to celebrate Christmas on Dec. 24 or Dec. 26.
Somehow, Dec. 25 is off limits when it comes to spending time and exchanging gifts. Your significant other insists on going through the rituals a day early or a day later. If there aren’t any significant reasons for the date change, you might be a side piece.
Your significant other can’t be reached by phone
Dec. 25 arrives and your significant other can’t be reached via text, phone call or email. When Dec. 26 arrives, he or she makes up a lame excuse on how they lost their cell phone at the club on Dec. 24. If this occurs, you might be a side piece.
Your significant other can’t be reached by phone, but he or she is active on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter
You can’t get a call or text on Dec. 25, but you’ve noticed that your significant other has liked five pictures on Instagram. When this happens, you might be a side piece.
Your significant other tells you that gas is needed for their car, but he or she leaves and comes back six hours later
When your significant other finally returns home, he or she tells you that the tire went flat; their cell phone battery died and they had to walk three miles to find help. Once the tire was changed, he or she needed to go to the ATM to get money in order to pay the guy who helped to change the tire. And the spare tire in the trunk also had a flat. If you hear this excuse on Christmas, you might be a side piece.
Your significant other visits you at 11 p.m. on Dec. 25
The day is almost over and your significant other has the audacity to finally stop by one hour before midnight. However, he or she brings a gift you probably won’t refuse (diamond necklace, expensive watch, etc). The gift is so amazing that you forget this person has been a jerk the entire day. You hug and kiss and all is forgiven until the eggnog wears off the next morning. Once the initial joy passes, you realize that you might be a side piece.
