Hi all-
didn't think I'd ever say that but I just have realized it lately-I love life w/o anyone else telling me what to eat, wear....course maybe a soulmate wouldn't do that..... I dated a wonderful man who died unexpectedly (catastrophic heart attack) 3 years ago this coming 7/1. We dated 6 months, broke up and were friends for 4 years. He wanted to date again but he was not in the best of physical health and had his mental health issues(OCD, paranoid schizo)  . He was a sincere Christian man and I know he is at peace but I MISS HIM TERRIBLY! I have moved on, not met anyone else since but have a very full life with church,friends, etc.I don't know what lies ahead but I'm living for the moment. peace, OCD chick |

I just wanted to post on this topic. I've been single now 2 long years, feels like forever, since i've been separated. I've been out on a few dates, nothing even to smile about really, and what really annoys me is that when other woman will ask me "Are you married?" or "Do you have kids?", and they act like it's a good thing when I tell them I'm not with anyone. Excuse me, but I'm not happy being alone, and I want to find a male partner I can share my life with again, and yes i would get married again! Just because women are single, don't act like everyone should be happy about it. Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and it looks like another year without that someone, oh joy.
 Just my opinion on this.Deborah |

i guess i just feel like things shouldnt feel crappy if ur with someone who is right for u. even though ive loved the past week of going out with my friends and doing whatever i want, dancing with whoever i want etc... i would still like to have someone that actually gives a crap about me.
maybe ill learn to love being single eventually.

Hi Ocdchick !!!!
 I just want to say:  I love being single myself. The freedom of being able to do what you want, when you want, is wonderful.  Being single is an opportunity to get in touch with yourself. It also gives you lots of time to pursue interests or hobbies that you might have put on the back burner because you were too busy maintaining a relationship. Anyway... I am glad to hear that you are happy. Some people do not like being single, but IMHO, it's because they are not comfortable being by themselves. They also don't have enough activities and quality friendships to keep their lives interesting and fun. Anyway kudos to you for enjoying the single life!!!  Peppermint Patty Quote:

i know what you mean OCD chick. Im happily married but sometimes I miss flirting with guys and just being able to have a normal conversation with a random guy and not have to feel like i'm doing something wrong. Plus, all my guy friends don't talk to me anymore since I got married. I mean what's up with that?!?!
They used to text me, call me, or email me regularly but since I got married, they ignore me.. and I mean ALL OF THEM! It sucks =/ but i love my husband.. don't get me wrong! lol

Oh yes, I could imagine how fun it is to be single! But on the other hand I also love having someone special or being married.
I think the importance thing is to find peace and joy in your life - it doesn't matter whether you are single or married. A passion for life is the key. |
