I am the opposite of most here I think, I don't think I have ever been without a boyfriend or date for even 2 weeks since the age of 5. I have never asked a guy out or have been broken up with and have never cheated on a guy I have been with so more of a serial long term monogamist much of my life. If I was unhappy with the relationship, I told them and ended it since that would be better than having a misunderstanding. I did have a tendency to get freaked out by something guys did and take off though and not look back. Just about every guy I have dated since I was 16 had proposed marriage, and that usually made me run like I was on fire because that is a very scary thing to say to anyone. But usually as soon as I broke up with one guy I had quite a few already asking me out, so was never alone very long.
I have been with this stubborn muscle bound blond haired blue eyed German man sleeping near me right now for a good number of years now. He is more of the " strong silent type". He could probably get away with playing one of those vikings such as Ragnar on the history channel show with his appearance, manner and personality( Yes I think my significant other might be a Viking he kind of looks like the guy who plays Ragnar) HAHA! I am very glad his sex drive hasn't diminished and we still have sex at least once a day but sometimes quite a bit more, though that is a decrease a bit from when we first got together, I am happy he can still keep up with me, because whether or not people like to admit it, having compatible sex drives is a big part of a good relationship. If either persons desires are not being met, they are not going to be as happy in the relationship as they would be in a sex compatible passionate relationship and when you have an extremely high sex drive that is even more important to a compatible relationship than if you do not. I like that he does not have tattoos, piercings, or do drugs or smoke, will have a drink now and then but not very often. I appreciate his sense of humor, that we enjoy the same music and enjoy spending a lot of time with one another. It still drives me crazy for him to move my things around the house though, I do not think that is something I will ever get used to.
I am a naturally happy person, many have told me I the happiest person they know. I actually wake up singing and am like all sunshine, butterflies and rainbows. I was that kid skipping and hopping through the gardens singing and playing with dragonflies like I was in some Disney movie. Even when things go wrong and seem crazy I usually laugh at how ridiculous the situation is, as it feels like My life is in a cartoon sometimes. I had a bit of a temper when I was young but luckily grew out of that and now it takes quite a bit much to set me off though that stubborn German over there might push me close to it now and then just by being grouchy, and he actually gets grouchy sometimes because I don't get grouchy like whatever that is supposed to mean.. I honestly think men can be the biggest babies on the planet sometimes. He gets annoyed that I am not grouchy? Life is too short to get mad over nothing. I figure you can laugh, cry or die and as long as I am still laughing it is okay. I see no point in yelling.. ever unless it is to save someone's life and get them to safety. I do not yell in anger and cannot be around people like that. I choose to distance myself from people who yell, swear, are overly emotional, overly self reflecting or behave like Jerry springier Crack heads. My life is just better off keeping away from those people entirely. I enjoy being around passionate people, but not angry people.
I have had my share of bad past relationships, my ex actually tried to kill me and went to jail twice for trying. He was the captain of the football team, my high school sweetheart that the whole town loved.. went off the deep end lying to everyone, actually pretended to go to college an entire semester (that I paid for) coming in and doing homework and everything but was actually out hustling pool at the bar and doing drugs all day instead..couldn't stop with the drugs and depression until he started hallucinating and became violent and paranoid hurting himself and me until I had no choice but to have him arrested. It was really rough watching someone go though all that and dragging me through hell with him. I feel lucky to have gotten away from that and survived tbh. Dated quite a few guys that made me run like I was on fire. I swore off dating "gamer guys" after a series of stalker, crazy, freaked out relationships and I was happy to find a man now that I consider "Normal". " Normal" is a big requirement for me for a guy, since " Normal" seems to be one of the harder things to find really. He was a baseball player, not a gamer when I met him, he didn't really play any video games when we met, and I thought that was a great thing due to what happened when guys were competitive with gaming that I played with but we actually play games together now so I sort of turned him into a "gamer" now. It worked out better that way though I try to make sure we don't play against each other on video games or board games anymore at all since I hardly ever lose to anyone and never lost to him. It just makes life MUCH easier not to play against the one you love if you don't want to build up resentment in the relationship.
