How satisfied are you with your partner? Did you sell yourself short?

[laVoix]

How happy are you with your relationship?
Are you sure you got the best possible partner you could have got (physically or in other terms you deem valuable, btw which?)

Do you have a feeling you sold yourself short and settled for a "not so good but only available opportunity", because of time constraints, boredom, anxiety about the search process, to respond to society's norms, "to give a purpose to your life", etc...?
Do you feel grief, turn your heads whenever a more beautiful woman/man passes by, flirt with others secretly hoping you could catch a "better deal"...?
Do you envy other people, their relationships, a "perfect life" they seem to have...?

My chick is a little nuts, but we are a good fit. We are like peas and carrots.

Oh man it's hard for me to talk about this stuff in here because I don't have the luxury of anonymity like you guys! I'm having more fun than I've had in years. I really didn't think I'd have fun with someone who wasn't another computer nerd, and this is the first non-nerd I've ever dated. I wish I could see him more, but that is the nature of the long distance beast. Even so, when a man approaches me or flirts with me, I think "meh" and always think the guy pales in comparison with that arrogant sales guy who calls me a whore in text messages and cracks me up in the middle of the day when I'm sitting at lunch in front of 6 IT guys trying to be all serious. lol He has no idea how bad of a week I had last week, and in the middle of the day feeling like I was going to just walk out and quit, he made me ROFL and all my rage went out the door. It was great.

I'd stroke his ego more, but the jerk doesn't need any more of a bigger ego. I seriously thought my ego was friggin huge, but nope no comparison.

So, like iheart, we are like peas and carrots. He needs more nerd in his life really badly too!

Very happy.

I'd say so. I mean, I think he has some great traits. I mean - of course, he could be richer, taller, better family, I dunno. I guess all those things would be "better" BUT none of these things are "bad". I don't want to seem like I think he needs to be richer or something but, I'm just saying, it's not like he's a millionaire. He does well. Same with height. He's 5'8" which I'm perfectly happy with but I guess that's kinda short for a guy? And like his family, I don't really "click" with them. They are nice but it could be better.

Do you have a feeling you sold yourself short and settled for a "not so good but only available opportunity", because of time constraints, boredom, anxiety about the search process, to respond to society's norms, "to give a purpose to your life", etc...?
I have a lot of time left. I never date to "give a purpose to my life". Society's norms? I was dating another guy when I met my boyfriend so that wasn't anything to worry about. But yeah, I am only 22, I have LOTS of time left.

Do you feel grief, turn your heads whenever a more beautiful woman/man passes by, flirt with others secretly hoping you could catch a "better deal"...?
Never thought about "catching a better deal". But attractive men and women still catch my eye.

Do you envy other people, their relationships, a "perfect life" they seem to have...?
Nope. Not at all.

Yeah, so, I'm pretty happy with my boyfriend. Depending on what you want in a guy, I'm sure I could do "better". Like my boyfriend isn't very social so, if I wanted a boyfriend who was super popular with tons of friends, then he wouldn't be the best guy lol. And a lot of people are looking for partners with money. That's not a top priority for me, I just want a boyfriend with a decent job and goals in life. My boyfriend has that. He's not super rich but that doesn't matter that much to me. I have had plenty other offers - good looking guys too. But my boyfriend is attractive, intelligent, ambitious, funny, good in bed, and we just "connect" you know.
