What's it like being in a relationship ?

Like having a small child. Currently sat here stroking his head so he can go to sleep..

Hahahaha.That's awesome.Those kinds are the things I miss weirdly enough.

Oh well, I'm completely anti-relationships now. FWB / ONS is my motto for the next 30 years .

I have loved a girl before and it was great she was my world and I was happy when I was with her. But it didnt last long as we drifted apart. I just want to know what it's like being with someone who cares about you and loves you. Is your girlfriend like your best/special friend ? Can you tell her everything.

How does it differ from a friendship ?

Also how does it effect your friendship with your friends ? I mean sometimes you need some time with the "lads" and with the "girls"

Thank You

If you truly love someone, and they feel the same way, it is the most powerful connection you will ever experience. All the petty 'love' and relationships based on sex and lust are nothing, absolutely nothing, in comparison.

He pretends to be so tough but he's a giant softie. To be honest if this relationship ended, I really wouldn't want another one for MANY years. Haven't been single for TEN YEARS!

Would agree with that.

Wow, that's a long time, I can totally see why you wouldn't want to be in another relationship anytime soon in that scenario. Wait how old are you if you've been in a relationship that long (sorry for being nosy, bad habit).

Mine was a high school thing, from 16 to 19, great times for the most part, but it ended with her cheating , so now I have a FWB with a girl at work in my gap year. Horrid idea as there are clearly feelings there on both ends.
She screwed me up bad, the ex . Really don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon or at uni.

Overrated.

Something is off about you...

I'm 23. Been with my boyfriend since 14. It has flown by. Really doesn't feel like almost 9 years! I was with another boy for about 9 months before I left him for my boyfriend so I was 13 when I was single last hah. Sorry your ex cheated, that sucks but better things are on their way...

Feel as you wish, I'm not bothered by your feelings towards my actions, all that matters is that I love her and will do anything for her, I just, sometimes like to be with other women, if anything, it makes the relationship stronger.

Why don't you tell us then? Just because you love someone doesn't mean they are going to return it.

Such as?

I'm glad someone understands.

She's my everything but there are times when I'm away from her and contact isn't kept due to working schedules which leads me to go to a bar with some friends and then it just happens, purely sexual, I make the effort to not use real names and form any kind of emotional connection as I truly do love my OH, it's just sometimes, I enjoy different pastures

I don't feel guilty and I wouldn't no, it's different for a guy to cheat as men are, by design, meant to spread their seed whereas women aren't. Yes, I'm a hypocrite.
