If he didn't insist on taking shots at me; implied or direct, maybe I'd listen to him. But forget it, I won't advice from people who can't repect me and I can't respect.
Please reread his posts - he didn't take any shots at you, "implied or direct"!
At worst, he came down hard on your roommate, but not you at all.
I honestly see no evidence anyone here is disrespecting you.

You are too afraid of getting hurt to even try? Fine. That's your decision. Why all the fuss about it? Are there women banging down your door trying to force you into a relationship with them? Are the relationship police on your trail? If not - then I don't see what the big deal is. There are lots of scared people out there that never go outside their comfort zone. Nothing wrong with that if that is how you choose to live your life.
I have society in the US trying to force love and relationships down my throat using biology, religion, and other means. I have a right to make noise about my dissatisfaction with this ideal. If y'all can share your relationship viewpoints so can I unless one of y'all are made moderator.

Religion, I can see. Media, too. But why get in an uproar about things that will never change? I mean, you can choose not to partake of a religion, but you're still going to see love and romance on TV and in the movies. You're still going to see ads for dating sites. You're still going to walk down the street and see people holding hands and being happy with a partner. And you're still going to have friends and family who have their own relationships.
Seems like a lot of wasted energy railing against it. Likewise, worrying about your roommate's relationship.
As far as I can see, when people are secure in their decisions and lifestyle, they don't spend a whole lot of time talking about it. It's just part of them, doing their own thing.

Diss, you don't have to do anything until you're good and ready. Scr*w "society". You're an individual, not a mass-produced pod. But I'm seeing contradictory tendencies in you. On the one hand, you want a relationship of some sort, if only FWB, or something. On the other hand, you just got an up-close-and-personal view of how that can backfire. It sounds like watching your friend implode has been a little traumatic for you. Take your time to process all this. Do you have some friends to hang out with or some fun stuff to do, to get your mind off it? If not, make some friends, join some groups.

And stick with Doll Eyes, she's got your back.
LOL. I just agree with him that he has as much 'right' as anyone else here to talk about how these subjects pertain to him. For some people it seems hard to grasp the concept that people talk about these topics and their decisions because it's a message board and that's what it's for. Whether or not they are happy, insecure, whatever the point of the forum far as I can tell is to discuss how these things relate (or not) to you.
Marriage is so overrated along with relationships and the next person who askes me why I;m single will get chased down the street with a stick because I will be trying to take their head off
Marriage being overrateed is not why you are single.

My frustration is at an all-time high. Just found out my roommate has not left our apartment all day after spending the whole weekend sleeping. It really frustrates me he is throwing away a lot what he worked for over this girl. Again if this is what can happen when love comes in, I want NO part of it.
