I may be just miserable and bitter but here goes.

it boils my piss when people refer to their OH as their “rock” and that they wouldn’t have got through “XYZ” without them.

A). Yes you would
B). How do you think it makes people who don’t have a partner feel.

Am I BU?

A. I once described my husband as the rock that my life is built upon. Its true. Without him it would have been a very different 28 years.

B. Irrelevant

A. No I wouldn’t. Some situations my dh helped me through that no one else could.
B. I don’t care or give thought to anyone else’s relationship.

We had 2 couples over, who were both newly into their (2nd) relationships. We've been married for 45 years.
My god the amount of relationship showing off that went on. Very wearing

I love to hear other people talk about their supportive relationships and I’m glad for them.
Are you single by choice or are you looking for a relationship but not found someone yet? This matters.
I hope you find what you want.

Comparison is the thief of joy in this case. Not at all fair to judge or compare.
