There's days I feel this way.

It's really hard for me to be alone and I often feel lonely, but I still wouldn't want to be with someone I don't like or who is unsuitable. I have a wonderful relationship now and I am very lucky, but it's hard too because I don't see him as often as I would like. We hang out together for long stretches at a time, about once a week, but my ideal would be to be together all the time.

I just had a thought that some of my various likes & dislikes have changed over time like foods, music, & TV shows. Sometimes people start disliking thimgs with their partners that they were attracted to & they may also start liking things they used to dislike with their partners. A little of both has happened with me. It's part of gaining life experience, growing, & maturing. Sometimes people fall for each other after fighting/arguing a bit, I don't get that but different people are different.

There was a saying that describe this (kind of) A women would marry a man in hopes to change him, A man would marry a woman expecting she won't change. I don't think all relationships end up like this but there's a little bit of truth behind it.
