    Drama? Nagging? Torture?

    I recommend less Glenroe, more real life. I've been with the aul' ball and chain for years, we havent had a real fight yet.

    Why'd she dump you?

    Anyway, chins up. Your young heart will get over it and you'll have forgotten all about her by the next school disco.

    Why do people use useless click bait/Facebook type thread titles? Have they no confidence in their topic?

    Regular sex! if not that regularly, sporadic sex without having to graft in a bar or club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,798 ✭✭✭Mr. Incognito


    Companionship
    Love
    To have someone that cares about your little wins and losses
    To do all the things that couples do
    To raise a family
    To make someone else happy and bask in that happiness



    Mostly to avoid bitter drunken posts on social media at 4am though

    Honestly getting married is one of the best decisions I ever made. Great to have someone who knows the worst of you and still sticks with you and thinks the best of you. On the downside you do get more in touch with your feelings via romcoms etc.

    My lawyer did not approve my original reply, and provided me with the following statement instead:

    "I [censored] quite agree with you that [censored] [censored] this [censored] trend is [censored] [censored] regrettable."

    I'm kinda getting the feeling of 'planning for the future' rather than 'based on experience' from the opening question. There's something a bit ...... hormoney(?) about the post....

    Eh, no. Not unless you are a rich male model, sports star, super star. I find it hard work trying to find a woman that I click with at the best of times. When I find one that I do, I try to hang on to them for as long as I can.

    I've been single and I've been in a relationship and being in a relationship is 100 times better. But then I'm in a relationship with a great person. If your dating history is full of losers and abusers then I can see why you would prefer a single life.

    Not sure why, but there's a whiff of chloroform off this post, not to mention sound proof rooms and hand cuffs.

    Hate when my friends brag about having sex with more than one person. Even when they do get 'lucky' (once every six months at best) the women are fecking hound-dogs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Why do people..... suddenly appear?
    Every time you are near?

    ....they're the Gardai
    Have you forgotten about the restraining order already you idiot?

    This post, particularly the beginning, cracks me up!
    So when you go out do all these women beg you to sleep with them?
    I've been in relationship since 2006 and married with her since 2013, feckin great so it is and no more do I need to go through the awkwardness which is meeting women. Always hated the feeling.
    Relationship -> sex on tap whenever you both want it, someone to grow old with, someone to share everything with, love, kids etc.
    It's a fantastic thing if you meet the right person.

    Some relationships are great, others are mediocre while a few are dreadful. I got the great one, but I was in a mediocre relationship for a few years and it was nag nag nag. Mind you, I didn't exactly excel myself in it either.

    The next relationship was and still is fantastic nearly 9 years after meeting her for the first time. In fact it's getting even better all the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,346 ✭✭✭King George VI


    OP, if your relationship has nagging/drama or is just generally a chore to be in then, buddy, you're with the wrong person.

    Being single sucks for the most part. Me and my GF split about 2 month ago and I've been living the single life since then. Yeah sure you go out and get laid, and that's grand in the short term but after a while it's just tedious. Pursue, hump, bail, no real connections made. every weekend. I miss the connection, the hugs, the love, the endless talking nonsense to each other but fully understanding each other, the way she gets me and I get her and generally us sharing each other's lives. Mostly though, I just miss my friend and would do most anything to get all of that back.

  • Registered Users Posts: 470 ✭✭Fran1985


    If you feel like that in a relationship, then you're in the wrong relationship. When you've someone there that makes you happy when he/she is around you'll realize why relationships are a good thing. I wouldn't rule it out altogether.

    Keep riding around ya until you find someone you actually fancy and have a good time with. I was single for about 2 years after a long term relationship. Had the time of my life, out drinking, riding different women, impromptu nights out, lads only holidays. But I found a good one and I'm still having the time of my life albeit just riding the same woman. You just gotta be less selfish in a relationship and things work well (everyone is selfish in some ways so i'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, you just gotta take their feelings into decisions as well, without totally compromising your own freedom)

  • Registered Users Posts: 917 ✭✭✭Mr_Muffin


    I don't mean to brag but i am a 9/10 male and i can have almost any woman i want.

    Yes sleeping around is fun for a while but it gets pretty boring and it's nice to have someone you can trust.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I've been single at times and have gone out and had my pick of hotties (i.e. took whatever semi passable skank I could get my dirty little hands on). Problem was - whereas they did come across with the auld how's your father, I still had to make my own dinner and not one single one of those ungrateful bitches offered to pay half my mortgage - not a single one:mad:
    Fúcking women eh!

    Any of my single mates who are interested in regular sex have one of multiple friends with benefits...

    yeah if you are interested in pulling and in any way decent, its a joke, in Dublin at least, some of my male mates are often the ones blowing the women off, they have it on a plate from decent / good looking girls and arent interested for various reasons...
