Being married or in a relationship and not getting laid. From time to time, I feel tempted to wonder if maybe I'm just letting my pride get in the way, and maybe I should just lower my standards.

Then I hear my "coupled" friends open up about their relationships, and I can't help feeling that I'm, overall, just much happier than they are. Sure, I have times when I feel depressed, and wish that I had a girl to cuddle up with and "be in love" with... But those times are much less frequent than when I'm busy doing the shit I enjoy and feeling awesome.

When I hear from them, it always sounds like they are generally unhappy but rationalizing to themselves why they are so lucky to live with a woman who disresepects them and withholds sex from them for petty reasons here and there.

For me, I feel like I'm generally happy, but occasionally rationalizing to myself that the grass might be greener on the other side.
