Lubeboy, you totally sound like you're masturbating the old ego in this thread. I get where you're going, though. You break up and they "go to shit."

...

Hell, you don't have to be in a relationship to go through life without doing anything worthwhile. The most cost effective existence is the solo never-the-leave-apartment one! Sweatpants, Playstation, and Top Ramen - GO! No need to worry about personal hygiene products, condoms, or superfluous expenses like gym memberships, clothing with buttons, or gas money to get to The Scene.

'Sides, people are what they are based on what they do, not who they're with at the time. Or that's how its supposed to work.

Using another person to define yourself is stupid. Reminds me of that "Irreplaceable" song. We're all disposable soul mates. I should totally start a thread about this, acutally... make for some interesting discussion about how special we all are in our relationships.

Mediocrity: Hell, I look at my exwife. One of my buddies down south saw her recently... turns out she's married again (that was quick), pregnant (oops!) and looks like a George Romero monster (brains!). I'm so glad I took that trash to the curb before I ended up with a trainwreck in bed next to me.

...

My question: You can get a feel for how ambitious someone is in life while being with them. Why would you settle for someone who's okay with sweatpants and antidepressants? You wanna grab life by the balls and atom smash your way around? You do it for yourself, not for anybody else.
