Is it so wrong.


Being in relationships is a 50/50 thing. I think it takes people make it wor I just wonder if people every consider the ones who have a relationship that is more like 80/20 and no matter what happens they still stick with that someone. Do you stay with the person cause the fear of being alone? Or you've been with that person for so long that you know it's a guarantee that no matter what your flaws may be they will always be there for you? Being a older person you kinda think do I really want try the single life? The uncomfortable meeting with a stranger, eating, having a conversation with someone you barely know. I think I would rather live with my dogs for the rest of my life then try go out and live the single life.... People should be more open minded and not make everything out as a contract. You go one a couple of dates have sex getting close why cant it be just that, no this my partner or we want get married. Just living life. I dont know but sometimes when you come home and you go sleep in a empty bed you kinda wonder. Maybe it would be nice come home and someone is there.???

I agree. Relationships take effort. Effort not everyone is willing to give. That said, there isn't always a need to define every step so long as everyone is comfortable with the ambiguity.

Yes many do just stay in a relationship because of fear of being alone, but if the point of life is to be in the moments, enjoy the now, anticipation etc. then the problem is after a while you can become a hermit!
Sure you can take care of yourself!.....and like you say live with my dogs!...and from what I see, many women treat their dogs far better than there man!!! lol (yell at 'em then smother them with love, treats, ha if only I got treated like that!)
But there will be times you yearn, crave for that human intimacy, (we are human and we all need that release, warm body, sharing laughter, stimulation physically/mentally) that physical side as well as (mental) banter, even spiritual? Someone to listen and swap ideas, chill out with, lean on, be supportive, just have fun, a meal, a new adventure, from time to time.
So the price you pay for being on your own, is for some too much to contemplate, and in real life its hard to meet someone, yet alone that person you can have a connection with and just enjoy each other in whatever form you both want/need (fb, fwb, exclusive casual, relationship etc.) because you want to, but the expectation of women in my experience they want to feel, to be needed, emotional support, then they do swamp with emotions/dreams of i.e. engagement etc. flood you with texts, needy, so its really difficult because it seems so difficult for men and women to just be honest! (listen to Billy Joel song honesty) so real expectations/needs/wants/fantasy is never revealed then maybe if it was originally it would have made more things possible.
Like you said the awkwardness of meeting trying to find commonality etc. can be enough to scare you off!!
Plus the longer you are alone, perhaps the more over selective you can be! So self fulfilling prophecy, no one is good enough, is a real danger to be aware of.
Good luck with your search, endeavor's from one in same situation/mindset
