A) Because you love them so much you couldn't live without them.

or

B) Because life with them is easier / better than being single.

Wish I could do a vote but I don't know how. So please comment away! Are you A or B?

A - stayed with XDH for far too long because of B

Celehelly · 30/10/2019 23:11

Neither really. I could live without him if I had to, but I'd really rather not! But yes, I'm with him because I love him, enjoy spending time with him, and because life is better when he's around.

Handmaid2019 · 30/10/2019 23:12

A without a doubt

TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup · 30/10/2019 23:12

It's kind of a mix. I could live without him, I've lived alone before, but I love him and I like our life together. I enjoy time apart but miss him and look forward to coming home/him getting home.

BarbedBloom · 30/10/2019 23:13

A for sure

IsItChristmas · 30/10/2019 23:14

C. Neither, I'd rather be single but can't afford it for now

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 30/10/2019 23:16

Oh gosh

Im with isitchristmas

But if you’re making me pick its A 😀

FenellaVelour · 30/10/2019 23:18

I could live without him. I choose not to.
So yes, a combination of A and B, as it’s worded.

SluggishSnail · 30/10/2019 23:18

Maybe there's another choice:

C - things were great once (like option A) but it's run it's course and now a bit meh.

I would choose C. Would be happy to separate (quite happy to be single), but not willing to split the family and it's ok really, just not, well, option A.

can we add the C option outlined by Sluggish Snail ? I vote C !

Saracen · 30/10/2019 23:43

Same as Celehelly:

"Neither really. I could live without him if I had to, but I'd really rather not! But yes, I'm with him because I love him, enjoy spending time with him, and because life is better when he's around."

ZoyaDestroyer · 30/10/2019 23:43

C - realised life would be better single so left

RolyHappyNorrieTagBetty · 30/10/2019 23:44

A

But because of A, B is therefore also true.
