Life goes nowhere in relationships!

I am naturally a very organised and productive person but when I am in a relationship, I always end up feeling as if my life is on hold and never are my boyfriends as organised and productive as me. So I often end up picking up their slack just like my poor mom did with the family.

This is no reflection on them as individuals, they are just normal people and not losers. But I end up feeling totally frustrated and depressed, as if I have wasted my life in relationships (because I don't want or need a family either). I feel sabotaged by relationships, as if I can never get my life together in one because another person is involved.

Does anyone else feel this?

    Perhaps your choice in men is your problem.
    Sounds like you are choosing your men by a criteria that will doom any relationship.
    Try putting your natural "very organised and productive" self into the mix and find a different criteria for choosing men.

      Gypsy nailed it. Trying choosing someone who has the similar habits. They are difficult to find because they are busy being productive. Organized, clean, overachieving, and knows how to relax on their down time. When you do find them the relationship will complete you.

  • You should just hide in your organized little world forever alone then. Become a librarian, buy a bunch of cats, and read romance novels every night while drinking red wine in the bath tub. Wear your little pantyhose everyday because you stopped shaving your legs 4 years before.

      Okay Blower of Massive Loads, I like you, man but, damn. I've got one Siamese cat and would honestly love more but you couldn't pay me to read a lame ass romance novel!

        Have you ever jerked the dog off to feed the cat?

          No, I spay and neuter all my pets, because they're happier and healthier that way.
