when people talk about their other ....Half...I think....wow, how pathetic! You are a half? I'm single, and am WHOLE on my own.
If I meet someone, great...if not, I'm all about being a whole and integrated person, happy in the world.

You are so right about this but unfortunately for many of us, its just not comforting enough.
If I was 25 years old this may not bother me so much, being and feeling so damn alone. But I am into my early 50s now and it can be very scary. Last session, T seemed to have her mind on something else. She whips out her tablet and proceeds to look up a gay-friendly bar in a town an hour away. Wow, now why didnt
I think of that?
After explaining to her my total frustration with internet dating (6 years online dating) and the fact that I am wore out from it all, she acted as though she had done something spectacular. Like that was all that was needed. After I got home I thought WTF? Did she not hear what I was saying? Holy cow, most of the time you just dont walk into a bar in another town and meet your life partner in one visit. UGH UGH UGH I am frustrated and depressed again.
