I mean, that could change but that's how I feel atm.
I find relationships tough, which may be down to my own personality. Many people I know will come on here and say that with the right person it's effortless, however I thought I had the right person a few times in my past and it was still tough!
I really struggle with the early dating stages. Despite what people like to claim, there is still inequality between the sexes and highly outdated ideas.
I am by no means obsessive/stalkerish but I find the whole having to play it mega cool very hard. I don't give all of myself right away but I just hate all the games so that we don't 'scare men off'.
As much as they're entitled to do so, I'm fed up with men being keen and then literally deciding 'oh actually ' and changing like the flipping wind. As I say they are perfectly entitled to do so, but the speed at which it happens is frustrating.
I have had enough of my partners being open about females at work they fancy. Yes, I know you find others attractive, but why do you need to tell me, it's people you work with!
It's the constant compromise, being told I should grow my hair, I need to eat more fish, I need to do xyz.
Pressure to have sex more, to feel like you need to be making a lot of effort for things to not go stale, worrying about the whole engagement/married timelines and so on.
There are so many great moments too! Feel free to tell me I'm wrong. If anyone could convince me otherwise, I'm on board for it.
The only reason I'm considering it is being mid 30s.
