We dream about it our entire lives; finding our soulmate, our veritable partner in crime and the person who can finally accept us, with all of our irritating quirks and eccentricities. But as the old age adage proclaims, the path to true love never does run smooth. Yes, for the majority of us, it's exceedingly difficult to find someone that we

relationships can also be plagued with dissatisfaction. Hollywood and the advent of the romance novel has made us aspire to a kind of love which real life just can't seem to deliver. Certainly, kissing in the rain isn't all that it's cracked up to be, and no one in their right mind would write their beloved a love letter every day for a year.

Here are 12 people in long-term relationships, on what they miss so dearly about unattached life:
1. Good point
2. Whoever said "sharing is caring" is so wrong
3. It's easy to get complacent in a long-term relationship
4. You can be so sloppy when single
5. You can't deny that the chase is exciting
6. It's nice to feel desired
7. This is certainly a recurring theme...
8. You can't ever get the honeymoon period back
9. You'd think that you'd get more action in a relationship, no?
10. This person should have a chat with their partner...
11. Your social life can take a hit when you're in a relationship
12. I think we can all agree on this
Well there you have it; even though we spend years looking for love, it can, occasionally, not be enough.
