At A Moments Notice...
"Do couples forget?"
Hell, I've forgotten what it was like to be a couple! How bout that!
"...pep talks from friends who insisted it was their loss, not mine."
Their loss, indeed...

I think some couples do forget, but I totally agree with you, that once you're in a relationship that doesn't mean that you have to stop working, in fact you have to work harder.

Singles do assume that all problems will be solved once they obtain a relationship. But, I also think some people involved in a LTR do forget how much heartache being single brings. So, why the battle? To be honest, I think I know, but I have no idea. Being single for so long, i truly have forgotten what it was like to be a couple.

I think both sides in general forget.
I remember how difficult it was being single and countless unsucessful unions. But singles must realize, its easier to brake it off with someone then make it work.
Many of my currently single friends found love and adored it, however immediately shut it down when one thing went wrong. Why the change is pace?
Needless to say, they were hoping the grass on the other side is green. To their disappointment the grass was equivalent or less.

Yeah, we all forget...and we have every right to forget...Holding onto those unwanted memories is not good for you nor your "chi" But being Single or "I's Married Now" as some of us will label it...Definitely takes work...It's hard being single and it's hard being in a relationship. Especially, when you're a Gay Man.
But it's nothing like finding that one that makes you "Glow"...But it hurts like hell building yourself up again when it doesn't out.
But what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. Right?

I don't think couples forget; hell, I turn to my coupled friends to find me a man! But I think singles do place a lot of assumptions on the table. I've had friends who once they were coupled, pretty much vanished from my social life. But in the end, I think couples do remember, but singles sometimes just need a soundboard.

Why the battle, indeed? We are not each other's enemy. In fact I think we have a lot to learn from each other.
Like Karsh said, many couples disappear from view, but we singles need them around to help us learn not only that relationships can and do work, but that they do take work. Without these role models, singles are left to talk amongst themselves, and all that negative energy doesn't help anybody.

Amen to that.
Amen to that.
I've been reading blogs anc blog comments, and having a series of e-conversations with so many black gay men lately and it seems like we are all so obsessed with NOT being single. Scared or shamed of it almost.
Don't get me wrong, I think being in a relationship is GREAT. But being single is GREAT. I just get so tired of hearing how hard it is being single, because like Christopher says--relationships are no walk in the park.
I don't know, I guess I am just so tired of the longing--the borderline...I don't know what you call it. Ill end it there to remain respectful.
all the best,

How about just LIFE is hard?

I have nothing against couples but when you are single and around couples it can get depressing sometimes. The reason is you get a little envy of what you see a couple have and you are sitting there by your lonesome. We all know that relationships take work and sacrifice also but there are pros and cons to relationships just like being single. I think sometimes you just have to make the best of both.
