Dysfunctional Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“If something is dysfunctional, why paint it like its the way it suppose to be? He's a man...so he's inclined to cheat. She's a woman...so she's inclined to nag. Relationships are normally combative. If the aforementioned is true...well call me Walt Disney because I would rather be in a peaceful fantasy, than a dysfunctional reality.~ENB”
