The ass-kicker of long-term relationshps are--most of the reasons people WANT LTRs are the VERY REASONS LTRs end up getting boring/shitty and/or end up failing & falling apart. Think about it, why do you want a GF? So you don't have to try so hard to pick up women? So you don't have to constantly go to the gym? So you don't have to put up w/ BS shittests anymore? So you don't have to jump through hoops trying to impress somebody? So you can share all of your fears & dreams w/ somebody--much like a therapist and/or best friend would do for you, etc.? So, be very careful when you're thinking that way, because you should realize that going overboard on those, "LTR perks," will CAUSE the LTR to break-up. Basically, going overboard on those perks is like abusing the LTR status. You still should have to keep your shit together--not for HER, but for YOU--to keep your own confidence up, etc.
