Hi boys and girls.I think being in charge of your own life without censorship from your partner sounds appealing to me.You come,you go,you do what you want to do without explanations would be an advantage.
Going to bed every night by yourself,waking up alone,missing the physical aspect,having no one you can cuddle with and having no one you can share good and bad times are the downsides of being single to me.
What is your take ? How do you cope ?
Care sharing how you feel about it ?
I will be in and out and can't attend to the Thread but will check in periodically to find out how other people tick.
tumtum52: i finally moved in with someone , not getting married, but slleping alone sucks and no one to talk to
That part i agreed with but i also like my own space and i have spent best part of my life looking after others, I feel its my time to shine and do what i want when i want and how i want.....and i dont mean that in a bad way....You need to understand i was sent to live with my gran when i was 11 years old, and she was 80 at the time. She died when i was 19 and i got married at 20 and had my first child, then went on to have 7 more. Sadly my husband died 10 years ago so i was left to take care of the kids now my youngest is 16 and i now have my time back so i am enjoying it. I started college and i am loving it...But if someone special comes along well and good, but if he doesnt well i am still enjoying my life.....
i went through that, but i have all kids out the house, i was single 5 yrs enjoyed dating, had a different date or 2 a weekend, just got old after a while and too much dating makes a guy broke

I am not going thru that as far as a date every week sure i cant find them
And i wouldnt make them broke as i do believe in paying my way, probably thats me being too independent
But i am happy you have found someone to settle with

I have been divorced for about 8 years, have dated but would say single most of this time. I don't mind letting someone know where I'm going or what time I'll be home... it's courtesy.... but wouldn't want someone to dictate when I could or could not go. Then again, a good relationship would probably mean my man would come with me 90% of the time. (IMO) The downside is defintily waking up alone, not having a date at a wedding or family gathering. Nobody to dance with, be goofy with, share stories or make each other laugh... those are the down sides.

Good reply.
The downside is defintely waking up alone.
How about we all gather in a large group go to bed alone within the group and wake up alone together.
