Relationships - what is the point? (1 Viewer)

[theweeyin]

I have been musing this whilst I have been single and I'm not really sure there is a point. But maybe that's just because I'm single.

Enlighten me please.

It's great if you can meet the other person you're supposed to share this mystery with.
And you know when that happens I think, people know when it happens to them, because, you often meet that person at a particular time in your life, sometimes when you're young and poor.
You know when you live in a room, you both live in rooms where you have all your shit because you're poor, and it's lit by candlelight, and you climb the stairs to that persons room, they've been to yours now you're going to theirs, it's serious.
And there's....you're standing opposite that person and there is a moment where you realise you're not looking at an expression of fleeting lust, or some sort of passing of the time you know, in the surrounding befuddlement, where you actually, you know each other. You know you want to be together.
And you realise it and it's an amazing moment when the other persons actually taking their clothes off in front of you smiling from the very middle of themselves at you, saying "I want to be with you", and you looking at them with their bare shoulders all shimmering in this rosiette candlelight, and you realise this is the person for you

Good and bad reasons off the top of my head.

Someone to listen to your shite jokes.
Nicely shaped hot water bottle.
Jealousy.
Fibs.
Lies.
Have to make two cups of tea every time.
Occasionally dinner is made for you.
Gender stereotyped tut-tutting
Guaranteed decent birthday present.
Regular hugs.

of course, the big question is

But is that 'for the rest of your life' stuff? I mean, is that the kind of stuff that makes you want to be with someone for the rest of forever?

I think its about being mutually in love for a lot of people

for others the sole point is being able to exert undue influence upon, and completely dominate another human being, and hence pretty much wreck their life

is there a third way?

funnily enough i was watching that last week with the object of my affections and going "hahaha... awh"

the cage put a bit of a dampener on things though.
