Whenever I read situationship essays by women, it always feels like they were seeking a life distraction or wanting to fill a void with a relationship with a man they would never take seriously if they were happier, had better mental health, or had better friendships.
I feel so cynical about the idea of long term relationships because of the amount of cheating I've seen. Actual exclusivity seems to be a very rare exception to a rule
I work with a guy like this. 89, going on 90. I was pretty sure he hated my guts up until I started to pick up on his sense of humor. He brings me snacks (:
