Roxy highlights her choice for the perfect guys to look for this summer.
Roxy looks at whether the "other woman" is always in the wrong.
Back then (it seems so much longer ago than a year) I was happily kissing people who had girlfriends – after all, if they were willing to cheat, then they clearly didn’t really care that much for their relationship, did the? Everything was casual and carefree, no one wanted a relationship, and any relationship that did happen tended to last about five minutes before one or both parties got bored.
Oh how I wish I could get those simple days back again
These days, everyone seems to have issues.
I’m becoming more and more aware of peoples problems, and bloody hell do people have a lot of baggage! Whether they’re still in love with their ex, or they’re reliving their troubled childhood; everyone seems to have something that is bringing them down.
And it’s driving me insane.
For example, I used to think if someone invited me round to watch a movie, that would mean the chance to cuddle up on the couch under a blanket, and maybe a few kisses if we wanted to – all carefree and fun. But when I went over to a guy’s house this week, his ex-girlfriend was there as well, so whilst they sat on the couch and cuddled under a blanket, I sat - by myself - on a chair: feeling very confused and awkward.
Fortunately I had my lovely friends to text to get me though the night. One friend, when I text her about the situation responded ‘Maybe he’s after a threesome’. This caused me to burst out laughing. Not advisable in such situations: it’s kind of hard to explain.
Nonetheless, after that night of horror, I thought to myself, surely not all guys can be like this.
Turns out I was wrong.
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the JCR this past couple of weeks and I’ve been eavesdropping on a couple of people. Most specifically, this guy always seeking relationship advice: first the guy hated his girlfriend, and wanted to break up with her, but he couldn’t, then he didn’t want to, then he did want to, and he finally bloody has. But good GOD this has been dragging on and while it’s very enjoyable to listen to, I can’t help wondering what is going on in people’s heads!
Life is so simple and so enjoyable, so why do people make such a fuss?
If you don’t like someone: dump them; if you do: then be with them; what is so hard about that?
Recently my best friend got into a relationship, and with her and her boyfriend it is so simple and so beautiful. There is no fuss, no stress and no effort. It’s all fun and it just works. That is how relationships are supposed to be – and it proves that two normal, down-to-earth people can be in a relationship – without any issues – just a hell of a lot of fun.
If only everyone could manage this.
Must be great having such a great god damn perfect life eh! you cant blame people for worrying over relationships not everyone can go from guy to guy and feel good about themselves surley
Roxy are you actually James Carney in disguise? Given yourself a sex change to hide your identity? This is you. It must be, you slaggy little cripple.
This is a ridiculously simplistic view of relationships. The sad (and somewhat clichéd) fact is that no relationship worth holding onto is without its complications and annoyances. It's working through that stuff and realising that you still want to be together after it that strengthens relationships, so when you think people are being whiny and bitchy, a lot of the time they're just working through some stuff and getting it out of their system. Your friend is either incredibly lucky or just isn't past the honeymoon stage.
I find it incredibly self-absorbed to resent others for having problems because it stops you from having a good time. Fair enough if you don't want to be in a relationship, but get the hell over the fact that there are those who are not so sure!
Yet another awful, uninspired article by the dying horse that is Roxy.
I think what Roxy is most frustrated about is the way peoples' issues are stopping *them* from having a good time. Otherwise why would she be so happy for her friend - surely being so loved up has restricted the time they spend hanging out together?
Just a thought.
I dunno... I'm normally pretty harsh on Roxy, but this article isn't so bad.
People, in general, are delusional and self-absorbed, and this creates a lot of 'relationship politics' which usually only exists in their own heads. So yeah... frustrating, and boring in equal measure.
I like the above comment a lot.
