Because I want a human connection with a potential life mate, and not have her be a piece of meat
This is only a reality that is available in mid to old age once everything else goes to sh1t and all you have left is retirement
Most relationships before 50 are pretty much destined to fail
Why !?!
because people have such unrealistic expectations of what a relationship is , it aint some harmonious whimsical lifestyle that solves all of life problems
You will Pi$$ each other off , you will lose interest in each other sexually , kids will drive you fvcking mental , money will be tight, Inlaws are usually a pain in the A$$, the banality of family life will drive you fvcking mental
Until all of a sudden BOOOM midlife crisis , divorce and a 30 year old porsche boxter is slammed on the drive and you have these blokes in their 40's trying to hit clubs like they are 21 again
I firmly believe that its better to try and have a series of "mid term" relationships during your mid 20's and 30's
You have to shop around a bit and discover both yourself and others
There is nothing wrong with having say X3 5 year relationships in a 20 year period
You will learn hell of a lot more than if you stayed with the same person for 20 years
Once you are in mid life THEN is the time to find the "life partner" the person you will die with
