[quote=Deborah35;3043239]To any of you single women on here, here are a few of mine. I'd like to hear from others:
sleeping alone - get a heated underblanket and a hugable size teddy
eating alone ( I love to cook, but sometimes I don't want to for just me) - yeah this sucks but i tend to cook 4 pieces of chicken in individual pots with different 'addatives' ( like garlic and mushroom or mixed herbs or chinese seasoning etc) all in the oven at the same time, then have one that night and reheat the others as i want them in the microwave so i do not spend hours in the kitchen every night. oh another way is if you have a single friend close by try having a me then you schedule where you cook for both of you one time then you friend does the cooking the next time.
not having anyone to come home to, no one there to talk to if you need someone. Married people have someone 24/7, but even single people need someone to talk to too. - when my partner had just passed away, i hated and i mean really hated going home especially into the living room because his favourite chair looked and was so empty, so i bought a 4ft teddy and sat it in the chair, suddenly the room did not feel empty anymore, he sat ther for a few years until i finally felt ok and strong enough to relegate him to the spare bedroom. I may be sad but i still talk to my teddy or my gerbils, though sometimes you do still need a human to respond or give a different perspective and that is where this site comes in useful. talking to yourself is not that bad, at least you know you are listening, understand what you are going on about and give the answers you want to hear too!
no affection( giving or receiving, no intimacy) I'm a very affectionate person, so this one hurts. - two options hug a teddy or get a dog!
