Are You Happy?

[TygerLili]

I am happy and discontent at the same time... does that make sense?

That's how it should be. If we were just happy all the time we wouldn't bother trying to better ourselves.

As for me, we have ups and downs, but he makes me happy more often than he makes me want to scream and pull my hair out. Same could be said of life in general I guess.

[Sybil]

Lots of things make me happy.

Lots of things make me sad.

When I wake up in the morning (if I didnt just come out of a nightmare) I am normally okay.

I am NOT a bouncy morning type person until an hour after I have had coffee.

And from there, I am work work work..

I have several hobbies and THAT is a happy thing.

(I like being busy.)

I am very thankful that almost everyone I know is in decent health.

I have WONDERFUL friends.

The way life is right now, I wouldnt change too much..

(though it seems i am always "working on me")

I'm mostly happy. I hate that we are so far apart and we don't get to spend as much time with each other as we'd like, and a certain rotten bitch makes things more difficult...but it's all been worth it..every laugh, every tear, every moment of anger..the joy, the pain...just knowing that it will get easier and we won't always be so far apart.

That's my status in a nutshell as well, except that there might be a few more bitches.

There is also a little more complication with a few other things, but that is something I'm currently working out.

It's almost our year mark in October. A year for a long distance relationship. My first real relationship at that.

I am happy, content, and I feel completely comfertable with him. I can share those innermost thoughts that I thought I would keep to myself forever. I've changed my outlook on marraige and children for this relationship. Until this relationship I never thought I would want to have kids or share my life or grow old with anyone.

Just last night I was thinking about our relationship and how theres just some instinct inside me that is telling me that he is it and whatever ups or downs we go through we can overcome. This feeling comes and goes, but everytime it comes back its stronger.

I know that soon, we will be together for good and we won't have to say I love you over the phone anymore.

I'm not as happy as I could be, no

[lonesomeangel]

Currently:

Second guessing my relationship. Wondering how many lies there really are. Wondering if he will make the sacrafices I need him to make. Wondering if I should make the sacrafices I'm thinking of making. Wondering if there is someone else out there that is worthy enough, willing and wanting the same things I want in life. Wondering if I can get over him if I chose to go another way. Wondering if it would be easier if I dated around to see what was out there before making such a life changing decision. Wondering if my standards are too high to let anyone in or will I shoot them all down.

That's where my relationship currently stands.

*sighs*

Anybody hot enough and willing enough to love me for the rest of my life? Yea, didn't think so.

[xbittergracex]

Can I get by with a simple "absolutely not"?

1) we teach people how they can treat us

2) which is directly euivalent to the degree of value that we attatch to ourselves

3) if you wonder if you can do better....you need to be somewhere else until you know that YOU are better.

4) if you DON'T set your standards high then you are doomed to settling....which creates frustration, self doubt, self loathing, projection, failure......are you not worth what you desire?

why or why not???

Lonesomeangel,

I have to agree with Steven on this one. It is you who has to set the bar. YOU deserve to be treated in the manner in which you feel you deserve.

If said person doesn't do this, or respects you, then you need to move on.

If you haven't TOLD them what you expect, then you need to do so. Sometimes women make the confusion of hinting at things, and not directly telling someone what you want or don't want, and then the guy is left confused because you're upset they don't get you.

You have to MAKE the guy get you cause, guess what, they DON'T get hints. I learned this the hard way.

I hope at least some of this helps.

[Homicidalheathen]

Your so right......I love this about you. Your like DGN's doctor phil lol

But for some of us I think maybe its too late........personally I am too sick to do change much in my life.

I spent all day on the couch in pain Friday hell, I am glad I just have someone to put up with me.

Most of you are still young enough, healthy enough....to find something worthwhile. At least I think so. I am with Steven.....don't settle.

Well put Steven. And Hunhee, great addition.

LA - Yes, you must use plain english and state what you are thinking/feeling to him. Sitting quietly or hinting, as Hunhee stated, is not proactive. If his replies are not what you are hoping to hear, then it may be time to move on. And YES... you will get over it. And YES, you will survive the pain. And YES, you deserve to be with someone who wants the same things in life, the same type of relationship and who meets or exceeds your standards. Your standards are not too high unless "being a Nobel Prize winning billionaire" is at the top of the list, LOL. If you don't respect yourself and what you want, how can you expect anyone else to do the same. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect to be in a position to let anyone else truly love you. If you are willing to lower your standards, how can you expect to truly be happy.

You deserve true happiness.

[Msterbeau]

I would be happy if I wasn't so tired from moving.

[Crazed Vampyress]

this cold that refuses to go away is making me CONSIDERABLY less happy than when i previously replied.....
