I can imagine waking up next to someone every day but it's not a pretty picture because I always sleep poorly when next to someone. I get the romance/intimacy thing but it's not for me.

It vacillated from weird and painful (going thru my divorce) to nice but lonely (on my own in my own place) to nice but wishing I was alone (post divorce hook ups) to remarried and fulfilling to have the right someone there, along with a cat that wants to be held like a doll in bed when it's time to sleep I think we always wonder what the norm is for other people but the fact is they're doing the exact same thing and you just gotta find joy where you can

My wife seemingly doesn’t understand how evaporation works and she just scrunches up the kitchen towel on the towel rack after drying dishes, no folding or giving it spread out air space to dry. That’s about the worst thing she does. I’m considering divorce, too much for one man to stand.

Same but instead of a towel, my partner puts the spoon they use to mix sugar and milk into their tea directly on the counter and just leave it there for me to find hours later and clean up.

blight rhino posted:do they ever go into Goblin Mode, and start walking around weird, making guttural noises, and putting silverware and what not in a sack? I was gonna say the second one, but she does pretty much all of those things except the sack of silverware, but she also likes stealing poo poo for fun. Like, sometimes she'll just pickpocket my phone for a laugh. She gives it back immediately so it's alright tho.

Mozi posted:i have two dogs and the first thing i do when i wake up is pet them a while Yeah this post reminded me of when I had a dog and my alarm would go off and sometimes he'd sort of blink lazily and I'd kiss his furry head and pet him a bit and sometimes he'd curl back up next to me and sleep more but most of the time the dog would wake up like "oh poo poo it's a new day AGAIN?! And Floodixor is here?! gently caress yes gently caress YES LETS DO THIS" and either way was a great way to start the day

I’ve lived a pretty solitary life and have been single 99% of the time. It took me 40 years to figure out this is okay. Sleeping next to the few long term gf’s I’ve had has always been uncomfortable. Can’t rip rear end and sometimes you just need to rub one out to get comfy but women can’t understand this and then they’re pissed I didn’t engage in Sexy time but I just need to blast in 1 minute and then hit the pillow gd it.

I've shared this tale before, but it is worth repeating. Just to horrify you all. Had a neighbor that passed about 12 years ago. She was in her 70's, a chain-smoker, and a nudist, living on 6 acres in the middle of a forest. She most definitely woke up alone every day. A UPS delivery person had a total freak-out upon discovering her naked body on the swing chair on her porch. It had been there a few days and the wasps and bugs were getting busy with her corpse. She had a burned out cig still in her fingers. It's kind of impressive that the smoke did not start a fire and burn the place down. That's probably the worst "waking up alone" tale I have.

Both my partner of 11 years and I have our own places, we’re together about half the time and apart the rest, and since we’re both introverts who highly value peace and quiet, it works out really well. A lot of people <eyes Genesplicer> don’t really understand living apart from your partner, but you can’t miss someone if you(or they) never leave. Plus she’s a bit of a slob(not gross, like food sitting out, just a little messy)and I’m kinda anal about putting things away right away, so my house can be organized and hers can be chaotic without stressing anyone out.

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?" And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife, I don't have one."

I woke up today alone and it was nice. Had spent the night in St. Pete. Ground coffee, made a french press and walked it across the street, sat down and smoked a joint. Just enjoyed the day.

loving someone else means accepting that there will never be another uncluttered surface in your home for the rest of your life. sure you’ll spend a few years trying—but, eventually you realize that, like nature, your partner abhors a vacuum and then you just sort of give up and start wearing clothes from costco so you’ve got that going for you op

Mental Hospitality posted:I love living alone. I'm not a total recluse or anything; wanna go get drinks or dinner? Absolutely I'm down. But my home is my quiet, peaceful sanctuary where I can shut out the world. do you ever invite people into your sanctuary? I don't. Try explaining that to a prospective date, lol. "I think you're cool, and awesome, and I'd love to spend more time with you. ... Just at your place. Not mine. Mine is off limits" But maybe I haven't found that Special One (5 Special Ones, later, lol)

I have really bad ADHD and like most people with really bad ADHD my home has to be willfully cluttered or else I forget about all of my possessions. Anything that's in a closet or a drawer no longer exists. Everything must be strewn about the available surface space and on display at all times to continue existing.
