At least it ' s not beanie babies . <| sep |> So , does that mean that Ken has to drop him in order for Lisa to fire him ? <| sep |> If I had to rate what my life was like before my SO , I would have rated it a 7 at the time . I thought the single , unattached life was ideal . I drank and partied all the time . Slept around . I had career goals I thought would make me happier to accomplish than a significant other . I hated being tied down , even now I ' m afraid to buy a house because I love moving around and experiencing different places . I want to travel . I don ' t want kids , right now . Once I got into a relationship , I realized I slept around because I was lonely , but didn ' t get attached because I was scared to open myself upmostly to the assholes I was meeting and sleeping with at that time . I still drink , but am less of a sloppy drunk and more of a drink with friends and discuss life kind of drinker . I don ' t need to drink to numb my pain . I still want to travel , move around , and live in several different places , but now with my SO . I still can and want to go far in my career , but now I just have to understand that my SO ' s dreams have to be inconsideration , too . I still have all the same goals , but they ' ve shifted a bit to include one more person . Now , when I look back , I would rate my life a 4 before my SO . But I still don ' t regret being single , it was extremely fun and I learned so much about myself . Edit clarification
