Are you happier single, or in a relationship?

More Than Mortal · August 08, 2014, 01:29:02 AM

About a year ago, I was the only person in my social group to be in a serious relationship. Now, I'm the only person to not be in a serious relationship. I think it can be easy to forget the flaws of being in the opposite state while in a relationship or single, but I think the problem is especially prevalent while single. Looking back, and realising how crap it sometimes was, sort of makes me wonder whether I'm better off single.

But, shit, maybe I'm deluding myself.

I like having a special someone.

I don't remember anymore. I'm not single, nor am I in a relationship. I'm just in between.

I dunno I've never had a relationship, but I'm pretty happy as is right now

August 08, 2014, 01:34:13 AM

Relationship, if done properly. With my current mate, keeping him pleased is not a chore.

Is it your dog?

I know those feels. Just don't try to fuck it.

My cocker spaniel didn't respond well.

either/or

I make my own happiness, but they're definitely different feelings. No one should pick up with whoever blows in the door just so that they're not alone. That's almost abusive, since the relationship probably won't go anywhere.

I'm both surprised and unsurprised about that for some reason.

What do you mean

There's a compulsion in me to remain as solitary as possible. To be honest, I have a feeling that I won't ever have anybody special. I've had offers before from some folks, advances from others, and I've shot them all down. Guess I'm just not a people person.

Already, the longest amount of time I've spent in total, complete isolation by myself with no human contact whatsoever is around three months, and I was happy as a clam.

Your behavior (which I like) points towards the not surprised part, but you're a pretty cool guy as well, so there's the surprised part.

Yeah I am a bit of a weirdo haha

You'd do great in prison. All you'd have to do is keep landing yourself in solitary confinement.

I will leave it at that. I just don't feel like going into the details.

The dogs around here provide nothing besides pissing on the floor and whining.

Simple enough to do. Attack whatever moves on sight. That's my game plan if I ever happen to get into a really bad prison. Get myself into solitary.

What sort of game-plan would see you realistically landed in prison in the first place?

Novice · August 08, 2014, 01:54:04 AM

I haven't been in many relationships but the ones I've been in always make me happy to be single.

Who knows. But, it always pays to think about what you'd do even in a situation you likely won't find yourself in. Life has a way of being unpredictable.
