Life as a single

neel said:
36 now , feels really tough to find woman with whom I am confident I will be able to be for rest of my life . At crossroads of thinking even I should keep looking for marriage options or stay single. Any singles in our group and how’s life been in your 40s , 50s and above ? Any regrets, any advices ? Do you feel lonely sometimes and how do you cope with it ?

If you're looking for love you will never find it.
 
I'm 47

Last serious relationship was 6 years ago.

Over that time I've taken control of my life and happy with my solo status. I feel empowered to do as I please without having to consider and compromise with a partner. Not too fussed about sex as I've passed that point of usefulness in the human race. I'm grateful for what I have and building to make sure I'm secure towards the end of my life.

Social relationships are important but also is time by myself. It's the first time in my life I've felt comfortable in my own skin and what I have achieved.

When I was single I used to think how great it would be to have somebody to love. Somebody to come home to at night and to cook for. To spend long weekends away with and to pour every last drop of me into making something so special words could never really describe what we had.

Then I'd have a wank and be reet.

I get that.

I've travelled all over on my own and had some wonderful experiences I've occasionally wished I shared some of them with someone close. But maybe they wouldn't have felt so special if I had?

Pretty well encapsulates my own situation. Had a couple of really intense relationships after I split up with my ex and got burned and hurt both times. I then decided that I didn't need anyone else to validate my existence. I have some good female friends but that's as far as it goes.
 
I'm 60 next February, I got married for the first time in 2006 aged 41 and my only child,son was born the next year in 2007.
By the time I was 30 in 1995 I'd given up on the prospect of being married and having kids.All I know now is never say
never about anything ( within reason )
You never ever know what's coming around the corner,I'm living proof of that.

I'm in my late 60s now, and single, after two failed, but lengthly marriages .... I do regret that the marriages didn't work out, but the trust had gone in both .... I can't really say that I'm deliriously happy now, i'm hardly fit enough to do cartwheels anyway, and my life is basically just watching City, listening to music, and drinking in bars and pubs etc, but i find that i AM content to a certain degree .... i do get lonely at times, and wish there was someone to share life with again, but I just don't really anticipate my life ever improving or changing now, so I just accept my lot, try to remain upbeat and optimistic, and just 'get on with it'.

Don't even sweat it, it'll happen when it happens ...until then, just enjoy.

Every little thing you do
Makes me smile
And if I had my way, baby
I’d drive you up the wall

I’d take you through the pages
One by one
I don’t wanna get too serious
I just like having fun

Yeah, yeah
I just like having fun
Oh, sugar

I’m living the single, single, single
Life
The single, single, single
Life

Now I don’t want anybody
To get the wrong idea about me
I don’t have nothing to hide
I want the world to see

Just like a car I’ll drive you
Out of your mind
It’s always the first step
In us having a good time

Oh, oh, oh, sugar

I’m living the single, single, single
Life
Single, single, single
Life

Single guys clap your hands
Yeah
Oh, sugar
Single ladies clap your hands

Feels so good
And it feels so good
Feels so good

I’m living the single, single, single
Life (Oh, sugar)
Single, single, single
Life

Single, single, single
Life
Single, single, single
Life

Single, single, single
Single, single, single
