Title: Being single
Post by: tnshpalmer85 on May 28, 2019, 01:02:47 pm
When you are single, it seems like everyone else has a significant other. When I was in a relationship, I never really notice other couples.

That is so true.  Being single is best for me at this time in my life.

I know what you mean.  I was single until I was 38.  It took me a long while to get used to being with another person all the time.  I managed.  But I never feel alone when I'm alone.

I have been divorced since 2002.  When I date it just justifies my decision to stay single.

Been single since after High school and it really does not feel the same anymore.

I know how you feel, OP. Granted, when I was single, it was one of the best periods of my life because I did not have to deal with the potential drama of dealing with another person's baggage. However, at the same time, as I grew older, I was more aware of the number of couples around me. I suppose it was the equivalent of the biological clock where I was feeling that "social pressure" of finding a companion.

I'm married. It seems to me there are a lot more single people than everyone thinks. I don't really notice couples, unless they are cute elderly couples holding hands.  :heart:

I just realized I've never been single.

It's been so long since I was single, I have forgotten what it is like.

I'm single and I'm in my mid-'30s. It sometimes sucks, but I'm fine. If I settle with someone someday, then that's fine. I trust that the universe has someone for me. It feels dang lonely sometimes, though.

But I never feel alone when I'm alone.

I feel this 100%. I always felt alone during my time by myself (duh  :P) until I got into a relationship. But now even if I am home by myself, it doesn't feel as lonely. It's almost like feeling of being "whole".

I don't rely on him though; he doesn't make me me. It's just nice to have that companion and a best friend for literally everything.

I feel the same as you although it has been a while since I went on a date.  I am older, am okay with being solitary, and have been that way for a significant portion of my life (I was divorced in my mid-40s; second marriage). I did have a fairly long term relationship after this period but did not marry him.  I guess I really didn't want to. When I think about all the accommodations I would have to make to live with someone now, I am unsure I have any interest.

I have been divorced for several years now and pretty set in my ways.  I don't know if I could live with a man now because I don't have to share my TV.

     It really does not bother me as long as people are happy.
Single or married-It does not matter.

I've been divorce for many years now but when I was younger I did date but never met anyone I wanted to take another chance with.

I was only in a relationship for a little while, but I know what you mean....

It's  what the person chooses to make of their marital status. I was single for a very long time after my first marriage; and it did not bother me; I felt if  I was meant to meet the right person again it would happen and if not I would still be okay. It just so happens that a few years back I did meet the rights one and am now married again; but I enjoyed my single life.

Hello! :D :)

I'm currently single, am dating but nothing serious as of yet I just don't think I'm ready. Many people don't believe in monogamy as I do so I will wait until I find the one. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

Sometimes it is a good thing to be single because it gives you a chance to focus on yourself for a while.

Price of Barbie


Ralph is driving home one evening, when he suddenly realizes that it’s his daughter’s birthday and he hasn’t bought her a present. He drives to the mall, runs to the toy store, and says to the shop assistant, “How much is that Barbie Doll?”
In a condescending manner, she says, “Which Barbie?” She continues, “We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00.”
Ralph asks, “Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?”
“That’s obvious,” the saleslady says. “Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s house, Ken’s car, Ken’s boat, Ken’s furniture…”

Yes I agree now my current problem besides no longer wanting to be single is that I go out to eat frequently with my sister in law and her husband (her brother my husband is deceased) and that is fine but sometimes they want to invite another couple and that puts me off.  I don't feel funny when it is just them but two couples and me makes me feel odd.  Am I crazy?

I have not been single for so very long. I don't even remember what it felt like. Even when I was single I was not single for a long period of time.

I'm single but the choice wasn't mine because my hubby pass away 10yrs ago. Being alone, is okay, I've 2 broke senior cats to keep me company. I can't seem to find a human companion because they never measure up to my late hubby.
