Relationships are tough.

Yeah well, so is life, I reckon.
I've never been in a relationship, and part of me is quite glad. I fail at life enough without the additional cares of being in a relationship. I would vaguely consider being single forever if I didn't know that I'll probably never get a job, and therefore will likely require a partner to support me financially.

Trust is a ***** isn't it. Once lost tis hard to gain again. I had a girlfriend who broke my heart and only after all that went down did I realize that it had been pretty abusive the whole way through. Thankfully my current girlfriend had a similar experience so we can relate to each other on that level. Still hard sometimes though, even though I know she's nothing like my ex.AstylahAthrys said:
I'm too busy being super awesome to bother with anyone else. If they wanna tag along, then cool - but otherwise this chick rides solo.
...Ok, I just hate most of the people I meet.

I started a relationship, and she moved away temporarily just when it was starting to get good. We still talk, and we're going to try again when she gets back, but it sucks big time. I've been kinda mopey about the whole thing for the last week since she left, but we didn't want to try the whole long-distance thing since those fail to work.
So yeah, relationships are tough, but for the record, life goes on.

It is rough. Sometimes I wonder why I haven't found anyone yet, and about what could be wrong with me. Then I remember that this is life, and it's not perfect.rddj623 said:I felt like that for so long. Seeing all my friends dating was rough.superbatranger said:
Relationships are tough. Yes, they are. I'm single. My now ex boyfriend left on the 20th. Just tonight, I had a few revelations, and reminded myself to let go of old cheese (bonus points if you get the reference). I feel the best I've felt since the afternoon of the 19th when he said he was coming over. For once, I'm okay being single.
Well I'm single and currently depressed about it, its just that I'm a fish out of water in the current town I live in, there are just very few people I would actually want to date in my town.
All that and still single, it's amazingGotham Soul said:
OT: Yeah I'm single right now so not many problems lol
Single and happy, really.
There are a few people I'd consider living with or otherwise spend much time around as a boyfriend, but I'm still too cautious about my independence. I've been in 2 relationships so far and while both were fairly amusing, they weren't really worth it.
I've got a dominating streak to my personality, and I'm an individualist and an anarchist, so I'd rather not overwhelm and control someone I care about. And at the same time, I'm not willing to surrender much of my individuality to someone else for the sake of "relationship", because I wouldn't be having fun if I weren't me.
So I stopped caring about dating for the most part. I do not plan to get married and the idea of it abhors me, I don't care about social values or "continuing my line". The only long term relationship I could live with would involve another person with very similar personality to my own. Someone who neither wants to control nor to be controlled, and is beyond the general stereotypical values one can expect to come up in most relationships.
Meh, whatever.
P.S. More on the whole controlling thing, I truly do find manipulative relationships of most kinds disgusting. When a guy whines that his girlfriend is trying to change him, or the girl whines that the guy is trying to change her (and I'm familiar with both of these situations), it's just pathetic. Drop the whole relationship and fuck compromise of that kind. Guys, don't become your girlfriends' bitches. Girls, don't become your boyfriends', well, bitches.
Edit: Same goes for homosexual relationships, although despite considering myself pansexual (it's like bisexual, but with even less limitations. I believe so called "love" can exist and relationships can happen between any members of any sapient species with consent.) I haven't yet been in one.
Although I'd imagine it's much simpler in regards to some aspects.

It's really a "grass is greener" issue. People in relationships might view being single as preferable, while those who are single will view being in a relationship as the better option.dodo1331 said:
Personally, having spent as much time single as I have, I'd find a relationship much more preferable then my present situation.
