Never tell anyone they need to be in a relationship to be happy, because you are happy in your relationship.

I should think that would be obvious.

Also, be honest with yourself about whether you are as happy as you want to be in your relationship. It's your life and time you're spending and we all get a limited amount, you deserve to be as happy as you can be.

Peggy: Bobby, honey, um... What do you know about sexual relations?

Bobby: I don't know, nothing much, I'm a little worried about being a slut.

I started rewatching King of the Hill a few days ago and this scene had me full on belly laughing

Emotional rollercoaster

I’ve recently discovered that true happiness comes from espresso.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The premise of this advice is such bullshit! I recognised that I had a whole lot of love to give and no one to give it to so I went out and got into a relationship. It definitely made me happier and we're 8 years in at this point.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 3 points 16 hours ago

But have you tried the CharKing Imperial?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago

you said it made you happier, not that it took you from unhappy to happy

it's an important distinction

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

I have the sneaking suspicion that this is true. My life is pretty great, until I remember I've never been in a relationship and I get sad for the rest of the day.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I tell my single friends it pretty much balances out. Being in a relationship (albeit a healthy one) definitely makes you happier, but it comes at a constant price of compromises.

Loving someone and being loved is great, but i do miss playing online games with my microphone on until I pass out in my underwear covered in doritos dust.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Yes. Relationships always require ongoing compromise. No two people are identical in their desires or needs.

For some people the benefits of a relationship offset the need for compromise, for others they don't.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

After 25 years of marriage (no kids), I can say that, if you make the right choices, you can have both lol. We both played WOW for a decade or two off and on, and still game, just less passing out, less online, and less Doritos... Because age.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Why would a relationship be in the way of that? My partner would have zero issues with me doing that, as long as it doesn't become a concerning pattern

[–] AcidBurn@retrofed.com 1 points 22 hours ago

Uhuh.

My partner of 10 years sometimes comes to bed at 3am after getting too eepy to carry on playing vidya

That's not happiness; that's confusion caused by a gas leak. Get out of the MegaloMart!

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I changed it up and bought a flamethrower. No not that wimpy Elon version. I bought an XL18, fucker throws out 135 feet of napalm.

That made me happy like my .500 magnum.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

'Gee, I sure would like to set those people on fire over there. But I'm way to far away to get the job done. If only I had something that would throw flame on them.'

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Modern problems need modern solutions.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

i still think it's hard to beat the flaming trebuchet load of dog poop on the front door

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Happiness is bringing sadness to people out of reach.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago

But also fire

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 20 hours ago

Just watched those new seasons, man they went way harder than they had any right to!

I was definitely happy while using my propane forge. Can confirm.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

If I ever figure out how to be happy single I'm not ruining it by getting into a relationship
