I walk my dog right after I get home and that's a stress reliever for me...and really sets the tone for a relaxing evening.
Anyhow, I know what you mean though. My parents have been married for over 40 years and I think my mom truly believes I am lonely (or she would be lonely if she were me), but I'm not. I do have my moments but still. Overall, I'm happy doing my own thing.
And by the way, I LOVE gardening and yard work- I actually go to my parents on the weekend to visit just so I can get in my outdoor time  |
i been single for almost 10 years since my partner passed away, i still miss a warm muscular chest to snuggle into for a hug now and then.
time makes little diference in what you miss about having a partner around. that said i really do not miss being kept awake by his snoring or the toe nails in the bath, or the mess he used to make, so being single not only has a doiwn side it has an up side too.
