Pushing The Envelope

I do not understand why women have to push living together/marriage like they do. They do not understand why I do not want to live together or get married. I have always had a bit of "Lone Wolf" in me and I thoroughly enjoy time to myself. Togetherness can be a good thing but I prefer it in limited quantities. I do not want to be joined at the hip. My girlfriend's favorite saying is "You are not the boss of me." That is completely true nor do I want to be but she does not mind getting all pissy with me if I want to go off and do something by myself.

I have come to realize over the course of the past couple of years that I do not fare well in relationships. I can compare it to fishing. I am an advocate of "catch and release." Once the other half of the relationship starts pushing living together/marriage, I subconsciously start looking for the back door and a way out. That feeling builds and builds until I finally run screaming out the door like my hair is on fire. As long as they do not mention that, we are fine.
