Yeah. I'm the same.... When I'm in a relationship, after the bliss and fun of the first 6 months you start to be subject to the law of diminishing returns.
Also you find yourself being criticised and in turn criticising your partner, struggling with conflict and negativity....
I've opted out..... haven't had a relationship for a while and as a result haven't had to deal with any external negativity in my personal life.... haven't had to do something I don't want to do and haven't felt compromised or defeated....(lol this is slightly turning into a MGTOW post).
I'm happier like this.... I would love to meet the right person.....at least I think I would, but even then 'the right person' one year down the line will just become another source of conflict and negativity. I did have the perfect girl....and one year later, this is just what happened... perhaps it's innevitable in human relationships. I don't even think it's a gender thing, I have known best friends go nuts and hate each other after 6 months of living together.
I dunno, I think there are people who can make their long term relationships work but I think that means surrendering your sense of self, your goals and your priorities....and I have no intention of ever doing this, not in this world or the next.....
Because sometime.....you just ARE right.....lol
