    Peggy: Bobby, honey, um… What do you know about sexual relations?

    Bobby: I don’t know, nothing much, I’m a little worried about being a slut.

      I started rewatching King of the Hill a few days ago and this scene had me full on belly laughing

    I changed it up and bought a flamethrower. No not that wimpy Elon version. I bought an XL18, fucker throws out 135 feet of napalm.

    That made me happy like my .500 magnum.

      ‘Gee, I sure would like to set those people on fire over there. But I’m way to far away to get the job done. If only I had something that would throw flame on them.’

    The premise of this advice is such bullshit! I recognised that I had a whole lot of love to give and no one to give it to so I went out and got into a relationship. It definitely made me happier and we’re 8 years in at this point.

      I tell my single friends it pretty much balances out. Being in a relationship (albeit a healthy one) definitely makes you happier, but it comes at a constant price of compromises.

      Loving someone and being loved is great, but i do miss playing online games with my microphone on until I pass out in my underwear covered in doritos dust.

        Why would a relationship be in the way of that? My partner would have zero issues with me doing that, as long as it doesn’t become a concerning pattern

        After 25 years of marriage (no kids), I can say that, if you make the right choices, you can have both lol. We both played WOW for a decade or two off and on, and still game, just less passing out, less online, and less Doritos… Because age.

        Yes. Relationships always require ongoing compromise. No two people are identical in their desires or needs.

        For some people the benefits of a relationship offset the need for compromise, for others they don’t.

      you said it made you happier, not that it took you from unhappy to happy

      it’s an important distinction

      I have the sneaking suspicion that this is true. My life is pretty great, until I remember I’ve never been in a relationship and I get sad for the rest of the day.

    If I ever figure out how to be happy single I’m not ruining it by getting into a relationship

    Never tell anyone they need to be in a relationship to be happy, because you are happy in your relationship.

    I should think that would be obvious.

    Also, be honest with yourself about whether you are as happy as you want to be in your relationship. It’s your life and time you’re spending and we all get a limited amount, you deserve to be as happy as you can be.
