What are the best things about being in a good relationship?
Ok so this one won't be hard for me as I've generally had really god experiences in commited relationships and I never forget how great it was. Here's my list:
Now when I come up with a list for how great is it being single, it's not nearly that long. In fact, I can maybe name 3 things. Go figure!
I'm in one now (we just passed the 2 month mark) after not having been in one for a while--and I have to say, for me, the single best thing is, not having to go on dates with new guys!
Oh, I am so relieved it wasn't another "best things about being single" thread. I'm so sick of those. :)

All of the things that you've mentioned, plus the sharing of your
'..but there are definitely negatives'..
Negatives? What negatives lol? IMHO only, in an established all around happy LTR where the two people in question connect on all fronts, are at the same page in life and don't live in each other's pockets - have a life that is 'theirs' and a life that is 'his' and 'hers'
I am sure you will get flamed for this, but not by me.
I think, for me, the key is that your life has meaning to another person. Someone cares that you exist, and someone would miss you if you were gone. Sure, my parents care, my sisters, my friends, God... but there's something really nice about having someone care who is an intimate friend and partner.

Ha ha! I have to agree there. I think it depends on your own needs and personal experiences but I know when I had a long-term boyfriend, there were few negatives. Actually, the only one I can think of is the emotional rollar coaster that comes with being emotionally attached when things go wrong. Other than that, I found it pretty blissful. Actually one of the happiest times in my life.
But I guess unless you've been there, some people may not understand.
Well that's just it--I don't really think this has the potential to be a serious LTR so I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by foreclosing other options for the time being (that's the main negative).
