Beyond the Meme: We Now Know the Entire Life Story of Distracted Boyfriend and His Angry Girlfriend
Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Politics Features An American Life
Remember this couple?
On the surface, it just looks like a pair of young kids going through a difficult time in a relationship. Indeed, the Shutterstock description reads as follows:
“Disloyal man walking with his girlfriend and looking amazed at another seductive girl.”
Clearly. But if you’ve spent any time on the Internet, you know that this image has spawned a thousand memes, from the political:

But now, we have gone beyond the meme. As Twitter user ajabernathy discovered, these two have a long and rich history. Does their rich interpersonal drama take place entirely on Shutterstock? Yes. Does that do anything to diminish, the complex, timeless, quintessentially American narrative at our fingertips? Absolutely not. From love to marriage to parenthood to bitter betrayal, these two have been through it all. This is the personal and political story of our time, and we present it to you now unabridged. Enjoy!

After being blatantly disrespected by her bf on the streets, it looks like she is also having trouble with homework. pic.twitter.com/fi0gsecpgQ

Looks like she didn’t learn her lesson and they’re buying something expensive together. pic.twitter.com/BYwIB1NsDV

I could spend the rest of the day on this because I’ve only gotten through 14 of the 44 pages these two have together. There might be an “attempted murder” photo by page 30! I’ll leave on this one.

We’ll add one more to Andrew’s incredible narrative: This BASTARD was actually ogling other women at the very moment that he proposed!
Once again, the description says it all:
“Amazed unfaithful man looking another girl during marriage proposal and his girlfriend is angry.”
Never change, you two!
