Be honest...

I see a lot of people, mostly younger men and women who seem to just bounce around from one relationship to the next. They will be in a relationship with one person for a few months or maybe a few years and have a breakup and then immediately they are fixated on getting their next new relationship up and running again. Many of these people are never satisfied in the relationships they are in, but they don't seem to take the time to give themselves room to breathe between relationships and just enjoy the single life, if they even can.

Do you feel like you NEED to be in a relationship to be happy? I have spent 90% of my teenage and adult life single (I am 26), and very content, but perhaps I am the minority? :shrug:

Everyone is different and has a unique perspective, so lets hear your story...

Your whole post simply reinforces the point OP is trying to make...
Many people (and yes mostly younger I have noticed too - it seems as people get older they realize that a relationship is not essential to being happy, but still there are some older people I know with the same mindset) "have" to be in a relationship to be fulfilled. I was like that, but eventually I realized I needed to be comfortable and confident with myself first before jumping into a relationship, and once I was, I found someone amazing. If you need a relationship to be happy you are going to simply have troubles in the relationship as you are using it as a crutch for your emotional support. A relationship is supposed to be the "icing the cake" but not the point of life. And viewing it as something you "need" will always end with misery, usually jealousy / possessiveness / staying with an abusive partner or one who is just not compatible and feeling miserable because you are terrified of not being in a relationship.

You have to be comfortable, confident, and happy with yourself / accept yourself before looking for a relationship. If you don't, it will just bring issues into the relationship. It happens all the time and happened to me all the time until I finally realized what was going on, why the patterns kept on repeating themselves, and why my relationships were failing.

Theres a fine line. Im completely confident in who I am, and am more than capable of spending time alone. However I still.....on stormy nights.....wish I had someone to hold, love, and to share lifes burdens with.

A relationship and union between two people is allot more than a glucose rush....or ICING ON THE CAKE :rolleyes:

Its a sacred bond that was created by the good Lord himself so that we may tackle life's challenges....together? :Awemazing:

Sure one can be alone, but you are lying to yourself if you think you're above the common folk who seek that other half to complete them. Sure I can SURVIVE in the harsh world, alone and untouched, but do I want to?

Im all for not being a codependent ass to your partner and using that connection in order to escape lifes harsh realities. But I still think there are some very distorted, egocentric views going on in this thread.

The way I see it

:morningtoke:>:bunny:

If that makes sense :strokebeard:. I think we got a badass on our hands, not someone who is genuenly trying to help our fellow shroomerites

No. I need to be in touch with people and to take care of them to be happy, but a romantic relationship would be something I just wouldn't know how to handle. I can't imagine how I would behave in it, or what my partner would be like. I don't want to live up to any girl's expectations of what a man should be like, I just like being this person I am, even if most "normal" people consider me insane.

But that is how you should be in a relationship - yourself - the person you really are.

:lol: Wow, I think you mean "super" and "loner." Read much?

I would say that whether you're wasting time in a bad relationship, or facing the world alone, we all struggle. It's a right of passage that we must go through at one point on the path to becoming mature. Some people get there earlier, some later and some never get there. After about 30, age is just a number.

I feel that getting married or attached at too young of an age dampens your perspective. Going through heartbreak and loneliness will force you to build inner strength. It's important to find a partner who also has that inner strength and maturity. That I feel, is necessary for a healthy sustainable relationship.

Yeah, seriously.? All the guys on here complain that women play mind games, meanwhile being completely different people around women, playing the same damn games they're complaining about.

Me and my girl are always ourselves around each other, completely straight up, and it's the most amazing, non-dramatic relationship I've ever experienced.

The person who I really am is kind of indifferent towards women and sexuality, for now. I value close friendships a lot more - they are more meaningful to me emotionally and intellectually. But all this might change.

Ya.....the first month of the relationship is pretty special? :smug:

I in no way meant to sound condescending. Like I said, everyone is unique in their opinions and ideas, I just wanted to know how other people felt about the topic.

For the record, I am not looking for a relationship but I am open to the possibility of one in the future. I don't regard myself as a loner, just a person who is content with being alone.

Quick fix for Boot Camp brings Windows 8 to new iMac computers

DEAR ABBY: I cut my father out of my life years ago, after he declared he could not support my decision to adopt three children from a Russian orphanage with my longtime companion. The adoption announcement coincided with my "coming out" to Dad, who is now married to his third wife. It must have been a lot for him to take in at one time. He told me plainly that he could not support my decision because he could not "understand" it. He has never met our children, and does not acknowledge them as his grandchildren. ...

DACA ? Which States give Driver's Licenses and Why ...

A report from the Pew Center on States provides a list of states where officials have confirmed that the state will issue driver?s licenses and where the state will not issue driver?s licenses to DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients. Iowa has recently been added to the list of states not issuing driver?s licenses. Here is the list:

States issuing Driver?s Licenses:

  • California
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Massachusetts
  • Maryland
  • Nevada
  • New Mexico
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Virginia
  • Washington
  • Wisconsin

States not issuing Driver?s Licenses:

  • Arizona
  • Arkansas
  • Iowa
  • Kansas
  • Michigan
  • Mississippi
  • Nebraska

The main argument for not granting a driver?s license is that these states say they would be violating their own state laws. The state laws in question generally deny driver?s licenses and state IDs to those persons that are not legally present in the United States. The state determines if a person is legally present by verifying their legal status with the federal government?s USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). ?The DACA program only granted deferred action, which prevents a person from being removed(deported). The DACA program does not grant legal status. These states have equated legal status with legal presence to show a ?conflict with state law.

The problem with this line of reasoning is that legal status and legal presence are different concepts under immigration law. It is often true that not having legal status means a person does not have legal presence, however, this is not necessarily always true. Although this issue might need to be decided by a federal court or the Board of Immigration Appeals, there is a strong argument that a person granted deferred action has legal presence in the United States without having legal status.

A person with legal status usually can change their status say from a student to that of an employee, can become eligible to apply for a green card in the United States, and has access to certain state and federal benefits. A person with legal presence is a person who may or may not have legal status, but still has a right to be present in the United States.

A concrete example of this is a person with an H2-B visa. A person with an H2-B visa has permission to work in the United States in a particular position for a particular employer for a particular period of time. Let?s say that Fred entered the United States with an H-2B visa on January 1, 2013. He gets an I-94 card at the border granting him legal presence in the United States until June 1, 2013. The H-2B visa shows his legal status, which is that of H2B status.?Let?s say that Fred works at a Marriott hotel as a hotel room attendant gets tired of it and stops working on March 1, 2013.

In this example Fred makes a status violation when he stops working at Marriott hotel on March 1, 2013. ?However, after March 1, 2013 he is still legally present in the United States because his I-94 states he can be here until June 1, 2013. Because of the status violation, Fred can be put in removal proceedings (deportation), but he is still legally present.

If Fred then applied for and received deferred action under a different program than the DACA program, then he would not get deported or removed. We know that Fred is not in legal status because he was supposed to work at the Marriott, but maybe he is legally present even after his I-94 expires on June 1, 2013 because the government knows of his presence and has granted him deferred action.

A person receiving DACA would most likely never have had legal status or legal presence, but it is possible that a grant of Deferred Action under the DACA program has given a DACA recipient lawful presence in the United States without lawful status. Ultimately, the federal courts or immigration courts will have to decide this issue.
