It took me close to 40 years to figure this out.

Firstly, it's much, much better to be by yourself than to be in an unhappy relationship. At the very least, you isolate the disfuntion to a single person. You just have to be at peace in being alone, and not lonely. Lonely people have the stink of desperation.

But the obvious choice is finding happiness in day-to-day living with another person. The single largest qualification, to me, is that you're not with someone JUST BECAUSE you don't want to be alone. There has to be a "special" something, which is hard for me to explain. I would say it's a type of fascination or inspiration that you see in a person. And respect.

I'm quite irritated by Hummers and other battlecar galacticas, especially when they take up two parking spaces ON PURPOSE because God forbid that anyone park too closely to their war machines.

But this is private property, folks. We can not live in a free society when people take it upon themselves to vanalize private property, just to score political points. This is Fascism.

These people are insane. This is a textbook example of the oppression of a Theocracy.

On the other hand, we have idiots over here that get hysterical because we have "In God We Trust" on our money. If they spent 10 seconds in Islamoland, their heads would explode.
