[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Doing all the mundane things together” IS a part of long-term relationships and marriage - that thought isn’t unique to your ex-BF.  I don’t know, maybe you just haven’t met the right guy. But it’s unclear what you’re looking for — it sounds like you want exclusivity and monogamy without intertwining lives?  But “hook-up guy” wasn’t able to offer you even that.

Is it though? Why is that? Why can’t I have a LT partner who keeps their own house, finances, etc and I keep mine? Why do I need to see someone everyday? I would rather have quality time vs quantity. That’s not to say, you can’t help each other out, but I have no desire to have someone give their input on my living space, other mundane aspects of life. [/quote]

You can, and some people do. But that cuts off the possibility of dating men who want to get married and have children. [/quote]

Obviously. I don’t want kids.[/quote]

You also have to recognize that with LTRs there will always be some mundane stuff, even if you live apart most of the time. What happens if one of you needs surgery? Gets ill and needs to be driven to the Dr? Part of being in a long term partnership is taking care of each other when needed, and also when its not needed. It's being able to rely on someone, and being reliable for them. It's not exciting all the time.

You don't say how old you are, but you sound immature at worst, or perhaps you are very young.[/quote]
