One actual good one that I can't use in yoga because of the way the underwires are designed (they come up the middle and dig into my throat when I'm doing plow or any other pose where I'm bending my head towards my chest).

Oh, I TOTALLY get that all the time. Breathing in recycled cleavage air is no fun.

Having a relationship would be nice, but I'd never subject anyone to my crazy on that level

Having a good relationship means that your own crazy meshes well or nicely balances the other person's crazy. Trust me, I speak from experience here.

But it's not the sort of thing where I could put the wires back if taking them out made things worse...

The underwires are in a curved casing under the bust, right? Snip a tiny hole in one end of each casing (I would pick the ends close to the armpits, just because), and then push the underwires out of the holes.

Unreasonably high standards are only unreasonable to the point where they're making you more miserable than the alternative.

This is very important I think. I know many people for whom just being in a couple makes them happier than being alone and so that becomes a factor. That's just never been an issue for me.

Yet, I don't think I've ever left someone because I thought that I would be "settling" otherwise, or because I thought I could get someone "better." It's almost always been an issue of fundamental compatability or happiness.

What she said.

This stupid day will never end. So I'm going to cheat, and make it end. By leaving work early.

It's been a long week, and I'm all worn out....

Heh. I very much agree with this as well, however it amuses me because I frequently find S's crazy doesn't always mesh well with mine. In fact, in many ways our crazies are not very compatible with each other, and we can easily make each other unhappy quickly.

But we love each other enough to try to work around that.

Yeah, there's just as many dudes who are saying that they don't want to subject their crazy on on someone else.

Got it, got it, don't got it, on my wishlist, hmm...

I would recommend Morcheeba's "The Sea." Great song.

Or at the very least, knowing when to get out of the way of the other person's crazy.
