you said it made you happier, not that it took you from unhappy to happy
it’s an important distinction

The premise of this advice is such bullshit! I recognised that I had a whole lot of love to give and no one to give it to so I went out and got into a relationship. It definitely made me happier and we’re 8 years in at this point.

But have you tried the CharKing Imperial?

I have the sneaking suspicion that this is true. My life is pretty great, until I remember I’ve never been in a relationship and I get sad for the rest of the day.

I tell my single friends it pretty much balances out. Being in a relationship (albeit a healthy one) definitely makes you happier, but it comes at a constant price of compromises.
Loving someone and being loved is great, but i do miss playing online games with my microphone on until I pass out in my underwear covered in doritos dust.

Why would a relationship be in the way of that? My partner would have zero issues with me doing that, as long as it doesn’t become a concerning pattern

After 25 years of marriage (no kids), I can say that, if you make the right choices, you can have both lol. We both played WOW for a decade or two off and on, and still game, just less passing out, less online, and less Doritos… Because age.

Yes. Relationships always require ongoing compromise. No two people are identical in their desires or needs.
For some people the benefits of a relationship offset the need for compromise, for others they don’t.
