Are most people in a relationship happy? |

My parents have been together for almost forty years now. My dad has retired and my mum could easily afford to as well but she's planning on working part-time for as long as she is able to because she knows otherwise she'd probably end up killing him. She's a member of a few groups, like a rambling club, that get her out of the house so I guess one of the key things for a long-term relationship is not to lose sight of being your own person and spending time apart pursuing your own interests and hobbies. I think lockdown is going a bit better than she expected, though. |

Great thread. Probably not a helpful contribution, but this is massively down to individual experience. I find it hard to generalise across people. |

I've always seemed to effortlessly end up in new relationships, not to brag or anything, but I just seem to have something that makes it easy to slip into a new partnership relatively quickly. I've not stayed single for longer than about six months over the last decade. But with that said, I've yet to experience the complete all encompassing love some people seem to. With the exception of perhaps my first girlfriend, who I adored, betrayed me, and probably ultimately is responsible for the fact I haven't felt anything nearly as strong since. But that's a different conversation. |

Wherever you go, there you are. Happy people generally have happy relationships; miserable people generally have miserable relationships. A lot of people think that a relationship will save them from themselves, but it doesn't work like that. However much time you spend with your partner, you've got to live with yourself 24/7. |

I once got flak for buying chocolate for a lady (and her family) while on a business trip, the crime was that I'd gotten milk chocolate when she 'only ate' dark. I think a lot of lads would appease here, I used to do that all the time to keep the peace. This time though, I told her to stop being a bitch and appreciate at least that I got a gift while on a short business trip. |

charity.png These stories sound like you would have been better off buying no gift at all. I'm not sure I like the moral here. The best I can come up with is that these people were always ungrateful of the energy put into making them happy and these events just highlighted their flaws. |

Yeah this kind of person is the epitome of ‘if you are bored than you are boring’. And online dating seems full of them. And they always tell you they are bored. The most recent one I half assumed they were some sort of scammer their conversation was so basic and lacking of input. |

Why are you lads acting like only lasses don't have hobbies? Granted there are many women who think trying different flavours of gin is a personality trait but I know plenty of lads who have little interests beyond consuming media. |

1584176551195.jpg A person i once knew used to say "when you get to my age, men are like parking spaces. The good ones are taken and all that's left are disabled". A nasty sentiment, but one that probably has some truth to it. |

I hate to make it sound elitist but it ultimately comes down to dating above or below your intelligence bracket a lot of the time. We say it's dull lasses who don't have hobbies, but really they do- They just seem trivial or trite to us. Like putting sticks in jars. And likewise, as some of you have mentioned, lads who probably have a unique thought approximately once a week, but could probably reel off the entire premiership league table on the spot if you asked them. |
