Dear Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka,

Look at you in your nice formalwear and passionate-yet-chaste black-and-white photoshoots that convey intimacy without betraying the privacy of your relationship. With your pitch-perfect understanding of a love that transcends sexual orientation and informs us all.
On behalf of people everywhere who find love a constant, sisyphean struggle against our own inadequacies, can you just, maybe, dial back on being quite so amazing, a little? I mean sure, reading your interview in Out magazine instantly restored in me the memory of and belief in the true love between two people that requires endless sacrifice, compromise, altruism and old-fashioned hard work, but guys, this is too much for me right now.
This. This is what I’m talking about. This unreasonable wholesomeness that also plays successfully with the expectations thereof to form an immaculate cocktail of humanity.
What I’m really concerned about is how you’re going to keep it up over the next several years of parenthood and being better at hosting things than anyone else. Because you are officially too wonderful to fail. If at any point your relationship falls below 50 adorbs per hour my heart will explode along with my hope for humanity and Sandra Bullock.
So this is my open letter to you two. I will support you as if you were campaigning for the Love Party to be elected to the Parliament of Jaded Cynicism. This is on your campaign fliers:
Sometimes I’m deeply in love with David and head-over-heels, and sometimes I question whether it’s going to work out and is meant to be. It’s like a business relationship, as well as a personal one; we have a business together and that’s maintaining our love for one another.
And I am handing them door to door with a goofy smile on. Harris Burtka 2012.
How amazing do you think these guys are? Let us know in the comments.
