>>132826well, you ARE winning. love is the prize. see, i've never been nor will ever be in a relationship where our income will be divided like that. at most, i'll pay for certain experiences like eating at expensive restaurants, staying at nice hotels and travelling because i genuinely feel like doing so and will actually feel good when paying it, if i make more money than her. the idea of having that communist relationship of yours is truly foreign for me, it's weird. on the other hand, it seems like you love her, otherwise you'd be long gone. what's stopping you from just going away if you don't even have kids together? everything you wrote brings up america to my mind. just, in general, the mannerisms and needs you described seem to be americanized af. you know, i've met these 2 US travellers, one was named Lexi and the other was Brooke. I only was with them for the time I was travelling, both in different continents. Lexi for 2 weeks, Brooke for 3. see, all they seemed to talk about was the state they were from, the fucking college they were in and random drinking stories, or shit about doing molly, shitty tv shows etc etc I literally felt like they were from another planet since idgaf where I'm from nor am i very patriotic, college is just a tool for me to achieve a goal, getting shit faced was more of a thing i did when i was 15, long gone are the times where it was something desirable to do. and molly was on the weekends and shit music festivals which i also stopped doing yet they seem to think it's smething cool or worth talkin about? ofc i didnt meet the brightest bunch and they probably were closer to rave slut status than to the kierkegardish girl. i just felt like venting. but yea, on the only relationship i've been, it lasted 2 years and the girl was amazing in different aspects and that's why I wanted a relationship, why would you be in one if you don't feel attracted enough? she had the most magnificent body i've seen, god.
