Doing it backwards

A lot of people seem to let themselves go somehow when they are in a relationship. I think I do the opposite. I care more about my appearance, health, mood, social life, etc more when I am dating someone because I want to be the best I can for them. Then when I am single, I think I have no one who will appreciate those efforts, so I let things slide. I think I'm doing it wrong.

I'm very much the same. My partner is the opposite. Haha.

It's generally been theopposite. someone meets me when i'm visibly doing well and expressing myself creatively. Eventually, they move in, I lose my job or soemthing and we break up, resulting in no job or home and depression (and i've gotten rid of my furniture so none of that either). after a year or so i get myself together again and am noticed by the next one and the cycle repeats itself.
