I'd be willing to bet more marriages wouldn't end in divorce if people just maintained seperate living spaces. I want to be with someone and spend time with them because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to because I don't have another place to go. People get on each other's nerves. It's human nature, if you don't have a seperate place to go, then you are kinda forced to stay and argue (though I enjoy a good argument, I don't like arguing out of frustration)

Defensive? I don't think so. Cynical? Absolutely.

I'm kinda surprised at the number of people who want to be coupled -- especially the number of fellas --surprises me.
Nothing to do with wanting to be coupled.... it's this frame of mind that strikes me as ultra-defensive:

Honey, i wanna be with you, i wanna be with you forever, but... I just... well... I just wanna live on my own at the same time.

The point of marraige/engagement/myriad of other commited relationships is to share _the totality_ of your life.

you cant do that while being one step back.

I'm half cut. I accept no responsibility for my spelling/grammar - not that it's great anyway..
