Most people would agree that they would prefer to be in a relationship than alone. This is particularly true if the person in question is single at the moment. However, even at one’s lowest, it’s best to always have a few red lines, because a bad relationship is worse than just being alone.

Trying to make it work and keep things civil between the two during/after the relationship, all the while he’s out there trying to make you look like a clingy ex who’s obsessed with him

    I absolutely agree. Before committing to a relationship you must ensure that one of you will be able to kill the bug.

    I had that. She started off so nice, i trusted her completely. It was a difficult time but walking away from her was the best thing I have ever done.

    The worst feeling is when that fear actually turns out to be true… :(

    And for me that’s exactly what happened. Years and years of a relationship that was all just a lie. :(

    Yeah, that's not fair at all. But you should watch for the signs too.

    Wouldn't hurt to be able to be funny on your own. My husband made a promise to himself to make me laugh every day. Sometimes it involves memes, but mostly it will be something he says.

    It sucks to be on either side of this. I’m saying this as the one who couldn’t return the love for a person who loved me. I always felt guilty but also I learnt to forgive myself because I can’t force to love someone, no matter how great they might be.

    That's what nightlights are for and idc what anyone thinks. I need just enough light to know my eyes still work ok when I wake up to go pee 187 times a night, but not enough to keep me awake.

    Just experienced this. He said she was "just a friend". I knew better but still tried it, I feel so stupid!

    The big light is the main living room one. I hate the big light. I like ambient lighting.

    I had an ex like that. Barely laughed at anything I said (and I'm funny dammit!) but she would laugh when watching something on TV. Was so surreal to hear her giggle.

    If you are starting over, then you know the last situation was bad. Congrats!! It takes a huge amount of courage to start over. Give yourself a pat on the back, I for one, am proud of you.

    Oh honey, I got your back on this one. If you want something, get it. There's no going home. If he/she canna supply you with the basics, you have to move on. It will become a habit.

    I'd actually prefer the honesty. Otherwise, I'm gonna assume you like it and make it again at some point.
