digitalpariah (01/09/2016) [-] The most blunt and accurate description of a relationship I've ever heard is "a situation where you trade personal freedom for sexual favors." Doesn't matter if she was a good girlfriend or a bad girlfriend. This basically sums it up.

guillem (01/09/2016) [-] This shows you've never been in a loving relationship. Yeah, sex is a part of being with someone, but I can tell you it is the least of it. I spend a large amount of hours with my girlfriend, of which maybe 1/10 is sex and the others are keeping each other's company.
A relationship is trading your free time for love, affection and the company of your loved one. If you really think it is just sex, I pity you, because it proves you've never truly been in a loving relationship.

digitalpariah (01/10/2016) [-] I've been in many relationships. I'm nearly 30. I know what a loving relationship is but I can't say I loved all my exes. Far from it. There are many reasons to be in a relationship, love isn't the most common one.
Loving someone is great. Everyone should do it and never **** it up, but let's be real here. You're not going to love them all. Hell, statistically you're not going to love most of them.

Okay, but I can hang out with my friends without giving up my ability to go out whenever I so choose. I can also hang out with my friends and not be expected to have sex with only them.
I'm in a relationship and a happy one at that. But I don't pretend that I didn't give up certain liberties to have that.

guillem (01/09/2016) [-] I am not saying you do not give up liberties, of course, if you have X time and you all of a sudden you spend more time with your girlfriend (which you did not before), you're going to have to stop doing things and re-arranging your time. In my case, it was hanging up less with my friends and playing less videogames (which is aggravated by the fact that at the same time I goy my girlfriend, I started simultaneously studying two college degrees).
You give up things for a girlfriend, but you're not "giving them up for sex", you're giving things up in order to be able to spend time with your loved one. That was my point.

But it is given up for sex. There are things you are not allowed to do when you are in a relationship. The only thing you do when you're a couple instead of friends is have sex. I can live with a friend, hang out with a friend, pay to go to dinner with a friend, but I don't have sex with my friends. I have sex with my girlfriend. In order to have that, I have to give up different things like having sex with other girls.
It's like buying a Prius instead of a Pickup truck - I did it for the gas mileage ("I did it to be with the girl I love"), not for the environmental impact ("not to have sex") but that did come with the decision anyway. But because chose a Prius ("relationship"), I lost towing capability ("I can't have sex with other girls").
