Perfect response but who said he was talking to the girlfriend and not the fella in the 1st place
Most of us have been told from a very young age that we should aspire to be in a relationship. We grew up watching Disney princesses fall in love, giving valentines to our classmates in school and being asked who we currently have a crush on by nosy relatives on holidays. Love is certainly in the air at all times. And while it’s definitely not necessary to be in a romantic relationship to be happy, if you are someone who wants a partner, it can be amazing when you finally do find your person!
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, over two thirds of adults in the United States are currently in relationships. And among the 31% that are single, only 15% are actually looking for a partner. Meanwhile, the largest demographic of single adults is men between the ages of 18 and 29, as over half of them aren't in relationships.

When it comes to where most people are meeting their romantic partners, Courtly reports that nearly a third of couples met via a dating app. It’s also common to meet through mutual friends, at work or in school or at a bar.
But some people even manage to find their boyfriend or girlfriend through fitness activities, such as a workout class or run club. And others happen to meet at restaurants or cafes, at spiritual or community gatherings, through family members or randomly out in the world. As people often say, you’ll find your person when you least expect it. So never stop looking!
If you’re currently in the dating pool, I’m sure you have some red flags that would immediately make you run from a potential partner. Maybe they were rude to a server on your date or chewed their dinner with their mouth open. But according to the relationship wellness company Ours, the top dealbreaker that turns off many daters is when the other person earns significantly more than them.
At the same time, daters also don’t want to enter into a relationship with someone who earns significantly less than them. Other dealbreakers include being of a different religion, having kids from a previous relationship, being a decade or more older or having a substantial amount of debt.
Despite how tumultous the dating world can be, many of us are still willing to put ourselves out there in hopes of finding the one. Because for a lot of people, the pros of being in a relationship certainly outweigh the cons. Marriage.com notes that being in a relationship teaches us how to be selfless, allows us to be with someone who understands us and can simply make us happy. Dating fosters intimacy and connection, and it’s beautiful to be with someone who makes you feel safe.

My wife and I just celebrated our 48th anniversary, and I still get the same tiny thrill when I first see her each morning as I got when I met her. What a magnificent woman! She beat cancer once, and as she rang the bell to end her chemo, a doctor approached her with the news they'd found a second, different cancer that very hour. Against the odds, she beat that one, too. Sorry this sounds self-serving, but she'd never let me post it with her name attached, so I'm doing it 'anonymously." Her life motto: "Never forget in the darkness what you know to be true in the light." I'm humbled to call her my best friend as well as my wife. (If she ever sees this, I'm in the deep weeds!!)

Thats weird. When my wife wants to take a nap she just... does. Because we're adults.
There’s no doubt that being in a committed relationship comes with challenges, but these can lead to personal growth and strengthen your bond with your partner if they’re handled effectively. Plus, you’ll always have a partner for the adventures you embark upon through life. And research has found that being in love may even help you live longer.

FFS, need to stop eating while reading this thread. That's twice I've choked.
However, you’ll only experience the benefits of being with a partner if you’re in a healthy relationship. If not, well, it’s much better to be single than to feel lonely, trapped or scared around your partner. So what exactly does a healthy relationship look like? Healthline notes that it requires open communication and trust. Meanwhile, both partners should maintain their independence and individuality. You should never feel like you have to sacrifice your identity to be with them.

Yes, we need more common sense consequences like this. That being said, kids need to be taught from early childhood that actions do have consequences and those consequences will be enforced. Too many parents give zero consequences to bad behavior, unleashing young adults onto society who expect to be allowed to whatever they want. Unfair to both those young adults and society. (Obviously this does not apply to all parents.)

We stan dudes that treat us like real people and not a pôrn category.
Healthy relationships also maintain curiosity, about one another and the relationship as a whole. Never stop showing interest in your partner, and encourage one another to grow into your best selves. Playfulness and humor can also go a long way in keeping a relationship alive. There will inevitably be challenges and arguments, but if you can both agree not to sweat the small stuff or take life too seriously, you’ll be on the right track to keep your relationship happy and healthy.

Reminds me of my parents. Neither of them proposed. Instead they just had a conversation along the lines of "So, you think it's time we got married?" "Yeah, okay." It won't surprise you to know that yes, they're Australian.

I’d like the job of writing the messages that get printed… ‘You could just hide the bodies’… ‘I’ll be your alibi, we were at the club until late’… ‘Turn it off and back on again’… ‘Maybe swearing more will help?’… ‘Swearing more definitely helps’… ‘Drive it like you stole it’…

I've always preferred composure and brains over brawn and exuberance, self irony over pride (or pridefulness), and personality over looks. I grew up with Remington Steele and loved Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth in the first "Kingsman" movie, too - and James Garner from the first time I watched "Support Your Local Sheriff".

I have never had a crush, so I don't know how that feels, but the traits of the men I respected most (fictional or otherwise) never included physique in the top ten. So many other things are more important to me.

What do you mean "were"? Prowl from IDW 2005 Transformers comics will always have a corner in my heart! Also Jinrai and Metalhawk (the human versions) from Transformers: Super-God Masterforce series, and Star Saber from Transformers: Victory.

My grandmother 4 years after grandpa died - got breast cancer (again), kept quiet until she knew it would be too late to do anything. Why? "I am struggling without Bill and just want to go to him". And now 20 years later I'm crying again.

Well I offered Mr Auntriarch a pair of my woolly tights to wear to archery one cold day but he said he had his own thank you. (Underneath his trousers, just to clarify for anyone who's currently got the Robin Hood theme playing in their head).

If the tables were turned, my wife would move the computer to be sure everyone could see me after she'd announced my appearance. I, on the other hand, value my life, so I would chuckle at her snake crawl but not give her away. She's the funniest person I know (and the 'funnest), but she has way too much fun getting even with me when I prank her.

I'm told that when I'm very angry, a faint Irish accent can be heard. Not surprising, since the relatives I was around most when I was growing up had one - and a bad temper to go with it.

Thank you. Finally, a man that f*****g gets it, even though it's bare minimum, but still. I responded to some idiotic, self-absorbed, d*****s on here just a bit ago who felt personally offended that my poor boyfriend of many years wears a c****m every single time we have s*x and I refuse to take birth control. As if he didn't have a choice or the capacity to have a convo with me about options. Thank you so freaking much! P.S. The self-offended idiot's name is Keepin It real.

Nah, I did that, but apparently: 1. I cant grow to love someone 2. The guy who loved me was bipolar with delusions (probably a requirement for loving me😅) So I say - try to find relationships with mutual love or have good connections with the local psych ward just in case

About half of these are actually good. Too many are actually fairly or outright toxic.

The most important aspect of a happy healthy relationship is that both people are responsible for working on it 100%. If one person is giving 100, but the other is only giving 50, it is not going to work.

Honesty and respect. If you can’t be honest about the small stuff, there’s no way you’d tell the truth about ANYTHING. Respect lost, byeeeeeeee!!
