Woman's viral tweet about her mom's new boyfriend inspires a thread about second love.
Love is...real 😍😍😍

'Love is a battlefield' indeed. They say you have to kiss ~~at least~~ a few frogs to find your prince and it's inevitable that in seeking long-term romantic satisfaction, slip ups will happen. Whether it's a lack of compatibility, unfortunate circumstances, or straight up bad taste in the desired sex, your first shot at monogamous bliss might not succeed. And that's okay! Those experiences enrich our lives and strengthen our resolve to find love. That's what I tell myself when trying to rationalize my three-month stint with the bassist of a terrible noise rock band.
One woman's viral tweet about a tacky mug wall encouraged people to share stories about second loves. Okay, first things first: Ana Stanowick's mom has a new boyfriend who's basically perfect. All the evidence you need is in the photograph:
People were impressed by the boyfriend's embrace of her hobby, which is collecting some of the funkiest mugs this side of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, not all male partners are so supportive. Some of those 'male partners' include our literal dads. Luckily, the stories shared had happy endings. Love is possible!

The mug collection itself is iconic, tbh.

Bystanders were also curious about the stuffed frogs pictured. A mom who has TWO off-kilter collections? We stan.
@AnaStanowick_ Will there be a follow up for her stuffed frog collection? https://t.co/4y4KFOksXb— AJ Stacy (@AJ Stacy) 1560438544
@AnaStanowick_ she can put all those frogs on the shelf because she found her prince ;-)— phnglui mglwnafh PTHULUFISH rlyeh wgahnagl fhtagn (@phnglui mglwnafh PTHULUFISH rlyeh wgahnagl fhtagn) 1560456055
