I'm absolutely the same. Sure I love having company, the intimacy of a relationship, and the underlying friendship, too, but there are times, where I want to be on my own, not have to talk or interact, or even deal with anyone. These days, expectations are so high, when it comes to dating, though, that if you don't meet them right that instant, people often don't even try anymore. It's odd, and frankly said quite off putting.Me too.
My ideal RLF would live maybe a 10- minute walk away, and would be a strict adherent to the rule of calling (actually, texting) ahead before you visit. He would visit to feed/cuddle/shag/watch TV/talk and then toddle off to his own life until the next time we both wanted to do one or more of those things together.
He certainly wouldn't be messing everything up by not knowing what to do or having flaws or needing me.
This is one of many reasons I'm single. I want a man I can put on standby and shove in a cupboard.
I understand that people want to talk about the things that are happening in their lives, but if that's all there is to them, then really, that's just sad. It's also a shocking lack of tact, as you said, and definitely weird to brag about... Don't let it get you down, you have your life, you live that one to the fullest with your lovely family. What others do or don't do should really not matter all that much.My mum and her partner are like this! They live there own lives and then get together to do things when they want! It’s the best of both worlds!
She said she couldn’t be doing with someone bugging her!!
Someone people just have no understanding!
When I was out with my friends the other night one was talking about the designer things they bought after some event she did and how she can’t help but splurge and spend with no savings and the other one was going on about how lucky she is for her rent so she can spend on everything she wants as “things are good and they make me happy” and has no savings … baring in mind I don’t work and have an income, so rely on savings and RLF paying for things (the time before we went drinking, doing rounds and mine was at the most expensive bar)
Some people just don’t get what others are going through, it’s not normally that they are doing It on purpose it’s normally just a lack of thought!! You are doing amazing so don’t even let it bother you, even though it’s easier said than done!
