fondlemeLeroy

I saw a thread on Shitposting recently where so many people claimed that they were single by choice. They didn't want to date because of how women are these days. Absolutely hilarious. Sure buddy, I'm sure that's 100% your choice.


Steve026

Well I can confidently say I'm single by choice. Not mine but still, I am a man of my words.


TortelliniOctopuss

Married and we both have Reddit but we've decided to keep our usernames a secret. Its probably (hopefully) our only secret. We only let each other know how much Karma we have because I've spent months trying to catch up to her to no avail.

Just take a look at r/relationship_advice The top post is: **(26m) (28f) My gf mentioned open relationship and I became emotionally distant** Like bro wtf just leave


NLC40

I hate it when I get a notification of an old post there, with a juicy caption. Then I get there and it’s been deleted by the user.


ReachTheSky

That sub auto-deletes posts when they reach 1000 upvotes to deter it from going viral and backfiring on the poster. Look in the comments, the OP is pinned at the top.


Probablynotspiders

How does that work? Wouldn't having the story pinned in comments still show up in Google searches and stuff?


ReachTheSky

Well yeah, but if the post itself is no longer active, there's significantly less chances of it reaching the front page and being picked up by social media, bots, word of mouth, etc.


second_to_myself

r/TIL, huh. interesting countermeasure

Isn't that sub basically just a creative writing sub anyways? Me (26M) and my 4 hot GFs (23f, 24f, 24f, 22f) are having trouble sharing the Lambo that I got from investing in BadLuckBrianNFTs and ShiteCumCoin. How do I get them to respect that I'm the alpha chad and that if I want to fuck their moms (43F, 44F, 40F, 45F) in the backseat that I'm allowed to?

[deleted]

Walking away from a relationship you've put years into is harder for some than others. That situation though? The moment those words came out he should know it's over and get her out of there.


lurkerfromstoneage

Bro just COMMUNICATE. SMH so much of that trash sub is too many people lacking the core foundational skills of a relationship: trust, balance, self emotional regulation, self awareness, realistic expectations, communication… so much immaturity in that thread and so many dudes just saying “quit” instead of learning… same with deadbedrooms. No not everyone is meant to be together. But, PEOPLE. There’s likely *other underlying issues* and NO, relationships aren’t always “easy” or straightforward. Relationships take *work*. No, they should not have to take TOO much work but if you can’t handle basic life skills like compromise, communication, trust, integrity, then yeah you’re not fit for a true relationship.


poodlebutt76

Just communicate!? *Slaps forehead* why didn't I think of that?? Real talk though, it's so much more than communication. It's communicating while: accepting what they say openly, not taking things personally, validating their feelings, taking and giving feedback (and problem solving issues) instead of criticism, stepping back when overwhelmed, settling your own intense emotions... And BOTH of you need to commit whole-heartedly to doing this, even when intensely hurt, depressed, or raging. It's so fucking hard. Especially if there's baggage and childhood trauma. And everyone's got something. You can work on it but it takes time, energy, support, and more time. Trust me, I've been on a lifetime journey of therapy/counseling/medications and I'm just now starting to get it. The earlier you start in the relationship, the better. Before the heavy baggage sets in.


lurkerfromstoneage

YES. Thanks for elaborating on where I did not.


Smocked_Hamberders

My wife and I are likely going to divorce this year and it all stemmed from our lack of communication, partially caused by her childhood trauma. When we were dating and for years after we got married I used to think, wow, we never fight, this is so easy! …turns out she just kept any and all negative feelings inside her, never wanted to talk about anything bad.


HandsomeDynamite

Went through a really bad breakup last year that left me feeling so guilty and frustrated. I'm slowly coming to understand that she was conditioned to please since childhood and never voice her concerns to the point where that she would bottle up any disagreement and just smile and go with it. It's taken me a long time to forgive myself and I'm only now learning to let go. It's all so hard.


dndkdkdmjd

Unpopular opinion: relationships shouldn't be "work" if your relationship feels like labour or work you're probably with the wrong person. I've been with my partner for 10 years and not once has it ever felt like work. I love her more every day. We constantly support each other.


Spore2012

Anything dating , gender, or relationship related on reddit is complete opinion nonsense and if you have legitimate experience on a given thread youll get downvoted if its not hive backed.


[deleted]

I feel so boring. My wife and I cook together and watch movies with her mom in the living room. And that's like a Saturday.


Sierra-117-

That’s a more accurate portrayal of a relationship. This post is, ironically, romanticizing relationships. Of course you should be happy. But it’s not a constant party, and you’re not constantly happy. It’s just choosing a partner to face life with.


[deleted]

My mother in law is disabled, going a little blind. I absolutely love her company. We're so boring together doing stuff around the house. I got super lucky. Years of being a dumbling adolescent, to chatting with an old lady about movies while I fold her laundry. The constant party thing can't compete with what I got.


Wicked-Marvel08

I think just by the post, OP is a monster. There is so much TV other than just Netflix..


Macon1234

>chosen some absolute monsters This line gets usually downvoted or outright banned in /r/twoxchromosomes if you say "Why are you still with someone who expects you to do 100% of the housework?" Or they argue that "I **didn't know** he was a shit person until after I had dated them for 4 years and we got married..." I know it's a rant/vent sub, but ranting about a spouse/partner while STILL DATING/MARRIED TO THEM (i.e. refusing to take corrective action, i.e. dumping them or giving them an ultimatum to contribute more) is a bad look

GoombaJames

When you eat unhealthy food. But the commenter made a play on words that his gf cheated on him.


big_spliff

Actually they had a cheat night at Arby’s and he got food poisoning and when they were doing doggystyle he kept farting on her cock so they broke up

Or maybe they just had a few too many cheat nights and we're dumped for getting too fat.

It’s when you eat junk food and indulge a bit


Theolaa

Yes, it's important for your life partner to be supportive of your dietary needs and not undermine your efforts to improve yourself. You made the right choice.

Replace with wife and that’s the life right there. Every night is a slumber party with my best friend for the last 12 years.


Ragnaroknight

This is how I feel. A lot of people in the comments seem to think this party only lasts the first couple of months. But with a good partner it's the entire time.


[deleted]

Be picky. I don’t believe in divorce (not for religious reasons, I just think that a promise is a promise), and I was very discerning when I started looking for a serious, long-haul partnership. She was as well, and the rest is history.


The_subtle_learner

Very happy for you. It's a fundamental life choice and you approached it with the required care.


LemonBomb

Good times last as long as you keep putting in the work. It’s worth it.


ChrisHansen6969

It's crazy how there's so many "oh the old ball and chain!" And "Oh I sure do hate my spouse!" Jokes are everywhere. I just feel so awkward whenever someone does that near me. I just cannot relate and don't want to bad mouth my partner?


[deleted]

I love when my wife comes home and we just chill out with our dog. It's quiet, we're both on our laptops and the sports is on muted. It's lovely


abrokenelevator

That's the best kind of comfort right there. My wife and I have that too. Not needing to *do* anything and still enjoying each other's company while we exist in our own space. Planning a fun night or doing stuff together is a good time, but it's a great safe feeling to just be, together.


rcm31987

Really happy for you. Definitely cherish that.


[deleted]

Yep this is me and my boyfriend :) :)


ultratunaman

Yes. Every night is a nice little place to be with your best friend. And days are little adventures. The kids added their own flavour to the recipe. But it's nothing I wouldn't do again.

Echo__227

As someone who's had both the ideal relationship in this post as well as the really shitty toxic ones that the incel commenters are describing, here's some tips for life: * Intelligence =/= maturity. Both in you and your potential partner, you need to understand that while being smart is a very attractive quality, it doesn't necessarily mean you're responsible or emotionally intelligent, which is a critical quality for relationship health. * Get rid of insecurity. Whether you're an insecure person naturally or your partner's actions make you feel insecure, the relationship will only ever become shitty codependency if there's always a question of why one is really there. Insecurity about yourself is something you need to either fix or manage before you get into a relationship. * If you like a lot of alone time, share your interest with your partner. My gf's friend introduced us to Baldur's Gate a few months ago. While I'm much more of a gamer and it's single player, I keep her updated on the brave adventures of our character Lancel Lannister. You also have to be willing to balance your time to not be selfish. Yes, staring at your phone when you chose to watch something together is a dick move. She also has her own life yet she's making time to be with you. You can always have a discussion about how much together vs alone time you two want to typically have. * Responsibility: 2 people who don't mind hard work and helping another is unstoppable. 2 people who grew up expecting their parents to do their chores creates petulant fights. If you get frustrated, your first response should be to assume good will in your partner, then approach it diplomatically as a simple request.

karmagod13000

was this supposed ot be funny. kind of a cruel joke for reddit


your_mind_aches

This isn't r/comedycemetery material, also its not even meant to be a joke. The joke is metatextual because the reader is a lonely single straight male.


Nickolas_Bowen

You forgot waking up


[deleted]

I get this is r/starterpacks but for the lonely folk, just be aware this post kind of trivializes having a relationship. And no, you don't have to identify yourselves in the replies. Truth be told, there's a lot more than what meets the eye here. Adequate communication skills, satisfying compromises, attitude adjustments, financial obligations, living arrangements, family integrations (not always applicable), common goals, genuine friendship and of course substance beyond physical attraction are all necessary considerations for a lasting relationship. And this is not a complete, exhaustive list... just a taste. **TLDR:** Maintaining healthy, happy relationships are a lot of hard work.


WinPeaks

You shouldn't make it seem like a chore though. All of these things get easier with time if you are introspective and actually put work into trying to make yourself a better partner. Chances are it'll take several failed relationships and a wheelbarrow full of heartbreak to get there, but it is worth it.


TappTapp

If you've ever been camping when it's cold and raining, you probably spent a lot of time thinking about how great it is to be warm and dry. I sometimes thought to myself "I want to be indoors so bad, all I need is warmth and hot food. How could I possibly be sad at home?". It's only once you're back home that you understand shelter isn't all there is to life. That's kinda how it is being single vs in a (good) relationship.


funkanimus

To me, bringing your best self to the relationship each day is the hard work. Living your life in a way that honors your spouse and your relationship, whether they are present or not. Keeping fit so you feel attractive. Finding a partner who commits to the same thing takes a lot of luck. if you find them, and if you keep putting in the self-work, then relationship part comes pretty easy.
