How you feel about your relationship

How many people are in relationships 'cos they feel those realtionships genuinely have a profound effect on their lives, and how many people feel the relationships they have are just there almost for the sake of it, or to alleviate loneliness? How many people have relationships but still don't believe they've found true love?

The relationship I am in at the moment... Well, he is my best friend, I almost feel as if he's not my boyfriend (apart from the sexual aspect) cos we just hang out, have a laugh, goof around; just like friends do. And I feel like he is my soul mate. However, I was in a toxic relationship for four years just because I didn't want to be alone and felt that I needed somebody there with all the time.

I didn't want a relationship but fell in love - past two years have been great and it's profoundly affected my life.

There's my answer for you. :p:

Mine really sucks at the moment. My partner has just admitted he is asexual and has been his entire life. We've been together for 2 years. :frown:

My boyfriend isn't just that, he's my bestfriend. I feel like i can be completely myself around him and he would never judge me, he's always the one i turn to when i feel down, we have a laugh together. Like dita_parlo said i feel like my boyfriend is my soulmate, i love him more than i could ever try to put into words and he says i'm 'his everything' so no i don't think i'm with him just for the sake of having someone.

I've been going out with my bf for 3 weeks - definately not in love with him or anything and had a few problems at the start but now stuff seems to be getting better, i went out with one guy just for the sake of it last year but wouldn't do that again as there's no point being with someone you just don't like in that way. Going out with my bf has affected my life by making me happy as i really like him, i think that's all the Q's answered :biggrin:

I've never gone out with someone just for the sake of it. My last relationship lasted a year and a half, and we were (and still are) extremely close friends. The love I had (and, to be honest, still have) for him was like nothing I've experienced in my life and he had a profound effect on me in every way. He made every single aspect of my life happier just by being there.

The relationship ended 5 weeks ago for various situational reasons (rather than us falling out of love), so I am hugely lonely at the moment and desperately miss having him there. But I'm working on sorting my life out and being happy being by myself. I don't want to even start looking for someone else whilst I feel this low because I don't want to be with someone for the wrong reasons. I know that a relationship 'just for the sake of it' wouldn't really take my loneliness away at all for more than a little while. I miss having him, rather than just having somebody. I'm not going to even think of seeing anybody else until I've moved beyond that and am genuinely happy being single; I don't want to have to rely on someone else to fix me.

my bf replied to the thread title that he feels very safe and secure in our relationship. not sure if thats a good thing or not, maybe i should scare him a bit :p:

Meep!

Because I love him, I don't feel my bf is just 'my boyfriend', though, but also my best friend.

I've never felt that I'm in a relationship just for the sake of being in one; I'm in one because I've found a girl who I really want to be with. My girlfriend isn't important to me just because I'm going out with her, she's important because I think she's an extraordinary individual. Her effect on my life is certainly profound.

I'd say my relationship with my boyfriend makes my life great. We've been best friends for eight months, and only started going out recently. To which everyone around us was like "yey" when it happened because our getting together was long overdue.

How many people feel the relationships they have are just there almost for the sake of it, or to alleviate loneliness?
Nope, I wouldn't be in one if I didn't like the guy enough, because I just couldn't be bothered with the upkeep of the relationship. The guy I'm with now... we understand each other and know each other, so if we can't meet up because of homework or a last minute family thing we understand. That's really nice, because it spares guilty feelings and misunderstanding. :smile:

I don't think you can find true love until you've experienced untrue love. Every time you love your feelings get stronger. That's just personal opinion.
You can get lust at first sight, but not love at first sight.
