Shhhhh...

That's got, like, math and numbers and complications if you look at it that way.

I mean, we got us a real, live authoritative peer group going on

Damn math, science and logic getting in the way of a good narrative.

You encourage his behavior by staying with him. You are not single. If you want to share a bed with a man at night and have sex more than two times a month, you need to only date men who want to have sex more than two times a month and want to share a bed with their partner.

If 55% are married, married is the majority. I bet if her sample was marrieds + singles seeing someone exclusively, I bet that number on her sample would be over 70% and maybe over 80%.

At any given time, people are in a relationship with someone. Being single and not seeing someone exclusively is less common.

I think of me as single because I sleep by myself every night, and only get sex twice a month. I am learning to accept this.

If you aren't happy with this then why do you stay? With all of the guys out there, I'm sure you can find one that is the opposite.

Haha! That is funny!

The ones I found that wanted to move in with me, wanted to do so because they had no where else to go and were just waiting until they found someone they liked better.

I would rather have the good guy sometimes, than the loser only pretending to like me.

I am sitting on my couch drinking beer and eating dip all by myself on New Year's Eve. How is that not single? It is what it is and I have accepted the fact.

He is a good guy. He just likes his own house and land. I can't fault him for that. I would rather date the good guy, than the losers I have had that just wanted to use me. I am done with that.

Well the romance in your relationship degenerated quickly.


Why are you alone? Where is he?

Yeah, it's an anecdotal thing. It's not uncommon for a person to make friends with people that are all similar or at least not very far off from each other.

Not many of us would have openly known drug addicts for friends alongside having very professional and upright friends. Usually you'll favor one direction or the other, to completely oversimplify.

He came over eventually. He just does not like staying over here. We only live 4 miles apart. And that is country miles. No traffic.
