I Need You if You Need Me

Is it better to live alone, or together with someone?

In fact, I don’t know exactly why I want to be in a relationship.

But I know that I want to be in a relationship.

— Is it because I am in a relationship now?

— Maybe I would think differently about it if I were not in this particular relationship?

Of course, it has to do with what I have experienced earlier. I know very well that in my younger days when I was not in a relationship, I longed for a girl, a woman who could be near me, and who I could hold in my arms.

I am in a relationship now.

I want to be in this relationship because I am comfortable with being here.

I like it. I admit that.

It is many times easier to stay than to go, and like most people, I am also a little lazy. I like what I am used to, I like what holds me warm and comfortable.

If I were to write a list of things that make me feel comfortable and that make me want to stay in the relationship, things like these might be included:

  • I know what I have.
