I have been with my current boyfriend for two years. We love each other very much and get along well most of the time. Of course, we have our fights but that is definitely normal. If anything, every time we fight, it makes us a bit stronger, as we have learned more about each other and learned what not to do next time... Anyway, we do not live together. I have my own apartment; he has his own house. However, I usually spend the night at his house, probably five nights a week.
Now, I think it's totally normal for us to live apart. We're not married, after all, and there are no plans for it. However, all the fucking time I get from people "Why don't you just move in with him?"
Why the fuck should I? I get to do whatever the hell I want at my apartment whenever the hell I want. I live by myself and it's perfect. My own space.
I also get this: "Why don't you guys hang out all the time?"
What the fucking fuck. Seriously, this pisses me off to no end. I hang out with my friends just about every single day. When I'm done hanging out with them, I hang out with my boyfriend. Many people constantly ask me why I never hang out with my boyfriend and why he doesn't come with me every time I'm hanging out with my friends.
All right. They are MY friends. My boyfriend would much rather be playing video games or something else, and I would much rather be hanging out with MY friends. Is it so fucking bad to have my OWN LIFE?! My boyfriend and I spend plenty of time together, but I also want to devote plenty of time to MY life and MY friends.
So many damn idiots seem to think that boyfriends and girlfriends must live together, eat and drink every same damn meal of the day, hang out with each other constantly even when the other is with their friends, and so on. Can't I just have my own life and my own friends and my own apartment without other people wondering why my boyfriend and I are so fucking weird?
I'm not exactly sure why this pisses me off so much. I think it might be because every time someone asks me a stupid question about my relationship with my boyfriend, they are thinking to themselves what a joke my relationship with my boyfriend is. Now, I know that I shouldn't give a fuck what other people think, but it irritates me that others have to sit there and judge my relationship all the time and deem my boyfriend and I unhealthy because we don't spend all of our fucking time together.
Seriously, I am sick of obsessive couples that can't seem to break apart. I know people who absolutely canNOT do anything in their life without their boyfriend or girlfriend. That is so pathetic that I can't even describe it in words. It's exciting to see all of these idiots lose their friends in the process of obsessing over their bf/gf and then when their shitty, immature relationship breaks up, they have NO FRIENDS, and NO LIFE.
I want to maintain my own damn life and still have a boyfriend whom I love very much. We have a great relationship, and next time some fucker asks why we're not hanging out or living together, I'm going to tell them to fuck off.
I will NEVER be an obsessive, clingy girlfriend who can't live her own life without her boyfriend. Screw that, I am independent and every obsessive couple I've met can go die.
Ugh.
