4. Figured out what I want in a new realtionship and what I will and won't put up with in a partner

I dont know what number we are on, but I have ALOT, especially with my extremely high maintnance BF... (which broke up with me Friday afternoon over BS, and I am going thru the hurt, crying, sleeping, did the drunk dial thing last night, ugh!) So hurting!!!

* Not having to shave my legs EVERY SINGLE day

* Not having to make him a sandwich each am for him to bring to work

* Not having to make a ten course dinner each night, then cleaning it all up while he lays on the couch playing online poker

* Getting up at 5:30am EVERY am, to help him get ready for work, when I dont really have to get up till 8ish

* Not having to sit and watch him polish up his beautiful sports car that he probably loves more than me

* Not having to keep my hair its natural dark brown because he doesnt like it lighter, when everyone else thinks my blonde highlights look so good, including me..(been brown for 2yrs now)

* Not having to answer to "WHO" did you play raquet ball with?

* A well rested jaw!?!?!?

Totally agree with the 'well rested jaw' quote! Funny! thought of one more...

Not having to live up to the cooking expectations set by his ex-girlfriend the chef! My cooking was never good enough! LOL

LOL, I thought that was a good one too!!! Dont feel bad, I was not that good a cook either, HE is the good cook, ugh!

I thought of another..

Saving tons of money on gas and tolls because he lives 20 minutes away, and with only living together "part time" its back and forth between houses like twice a day... Oh, and all the clothes and things that remain in the trunk of the car, being in limbo of outfits all the time!

Yeah, at least yours could cook! Mine burnt noodles! I also agree on the traveling back and forth...although in time it was just me doing the traveling (30 mins away), with my bag of clothes in it...I felt like a refugee most of the time! Not a lot of time at my apartment which I pay out the ying-yang for!

Oh, one more: spending more time with my poor cat who saw me only enough to feed and water him and clean his box out...Poor thing kinda had it made with being the only living being in that expensive apartment so often!
