I agree. I spent so many years catering to my ex's and you know what, I'm good with being single and with cats. I feel like I wasted over a decade dating and almost getting married. It'll sound a bit self centered but I'm happy with just doing things for myself. The first thing I did after my fiance went our separate ways was buy a computer. Nothing too expensive but better than playing on a used $175 auction computer that barely ran gta5. Bought a new truck. And bettered myself. I don't miss getting yelled at for buying the wrong toilet paper or having to save my money to buy bras since someone didn't have the same work ethic or even a car. I fell into the same trap almost again. But at least this time I was prepared.

Also,

"If you have a spouse you have compromise and ask them what they think and think about their needs."

This kinda was what my last relationship was like, except a an inverted version of that because it was so hard to get a straight answer. I asked do you want to go to Ireland, yeah, bought tickets to go to Ireland and she sloth'd her way around getting a passport, I think six months is a reasonable time frame. Thankfully the refund was used for another ticket elsewhere. You could save me the hassle and say you don't want to go.

I'm much happier now, I get to travel anywhere, be keyboard warrior, chat with my friends online, visit friends, do whatever really.
