Life as a single

Been single, married, single and now in a long term relationship where we have our own homes.

Watch the 40 year old virgin. Relationships fuck us up.
That sounds ace!

I always like the bit best at the beginning when you live separately to each other. It loses it’s magic when she starts leaving the bathroom door open to talk to you while she’s having a shit when you live together. So keeping the best bit going, I bet is a good idea for many couples. Would suit me.
 
Just like me but rather than can’t have kids, I just don’t want kids.

Life can surprise you though, you can randomly walk around a corner you didn’t initially intend to walk round and bump into someone worthwhile.

I always find that not actively looking for meeting someone, is when it tends to happen. Girls must smell the desperation on me when I’m out looking for it and give me the swerve haha
I was always on the fence about kids - I like them but could never shake the feeling my best role is as their auntie or their parents' friend. Losing the option has still been difficult though. Life comes at you hard and fast and the things you take for granted can be lost in an instant.

I think there's a way of looking for someone without coming across as desperate, but it's a fine line to tread.

Bit hesitant to join in here as a woman but oh well...

I'm 36, single and pretty much resigned to that life now.

As of this year, I can't have kids. That both narrows down the potential pool of partners and removes any sense of urgency to find someone.

I don't want a relationship unless it's with someone whose company I enjoy more than my own. Being something of a loner and a weirdo, that's quite a high standard, and when combined with the requirement that he'd have to like me too it seems pretty much impossible.

I'm not ruling anything out - you never know what twists and turns your life will take - but I'm not actively looking for someone.
Nice post.
I am in a very long term (happy) relationship but if anything ever happened to it, rather than start all over again, I think I would choose a dog for a companion rather than have the hassle of finding and keeping a partner.
I am too set in my ways and at an age I just can’t be arsed changing them to accommodate someone else.
 
I honestly think it’s way better to be single than stuck in an unhappy marriage. At least when you’re single, you have the freedom to be yourself and live on your own terms. Plus, who knows? You might meet someone amazing tomorrow or the day after. Here is tinder phone number , if you want to try this way, might be worse contacting them

100%. I’m very happily married now, but in my disastrous first marriage I was jealous of anyone single. Never be with the wrong person just so you’re not alone.

Better being single, enjoy your life and wait for someone right for you. There are so many dating websites these days it must be easy if you start looking.
