A Little Bit Of A Story…
What can I say yes been on my own for over 22 years but who is counting, it really does not look like changing at all any time soon. I often ask myself the question – why are you single and have been for so long nearly a quarter of a century Haha – it’s a long time. There are times when I do worry about it as the thought of dying on my own is not a good one, just to have someone sitting next to you with the comfort of your last breath is better than being on your own. I remember when my grandmother was gracefully passing away, I walked around a bit and noticed a nurse sitting outside the room under the entrance, when I asked why – she replied he had no family or friends so we take turns watching until he passes, that fucking scarred me and it’s not what I want in life.
For so many of us reaching our mid-60s is an opportunity to reap some of the rewards you have worked so hard for and yes deserve them for the hard work and dedication you have put in, for some of us over 40 years for me 50 years started work at 14.
Timing With A Relationship…
People enter into relationships at different stages in life. Some of us may find long-term partners at a young age, while others may take longer to meet someone compatible. I have to remember everyone’s journey is unique and very different and I believe there is no set timeline for finding a partner. Does being single for a long period of time not necessarily mean that one will be single for the rest of their life. I don’t know as for me I’m not sure but who knows things do change. They say that various circumstances can influence one’s relationship status, which could be concentrating on life goals with study, working long hours on a project, or living in a remote area could be a small problem, for whatever reason it can make a difference with creating a relationship long term.
Is There The Possibility To Find A Relationship?
I have heard so many times that age is not a problem in life with so many things – but does it mean finding love that true companionship for the rest of my life. Do I worry about it? id say sometimes more than other times yes, when I’m sick I miss the pop-in and asking if your ok or do you want a bowl of soup, birthday is one that hurts a bit being on my own celebrating getting older on your own is not comfortable at all, Christmas, just special occasions I find it hard. I suffer from depression a bit and have done for a few years and it makes it harder when I have no one to chat with about it you can only talk to your kids about so much and I’m a dad that likes to keep a few things to himself the kids do enough as it is.
To Be Honest…
If I look at things and where I am in life at this moment, one thing that if I was, to be honest, no lady wants to build up a relationship when you work away for 12 days straight and then two off – well I understand that and I can see the reason for that.
I feel i have so much to offer as a person to another, I’m understanding, have a lot of affection, I’m honest and hate people that liar, I do have a good sense of humour, & enjoy life at most times, am I perfect far from it no one is id say. I’ve been on dating sites, been to singles bar’s tried most things as we do being single…
If this is something I worry about a bit id have to say yes it is – especially when going out with friends and there are three couples and you are the only single one as usual, they don’t make an issue of it which good friends shouldn’t but yes I go home depressed as again it gets to me that’s why I don’t go out much as all my friends and acquaintances have partners.
It Takes A Strong Person To Remain Single In A World That Is Accustomed To Setting With Anything Just To Say They Have Something.
Can I say there are some benefits in ways and yes doing it for so long, going where I want to go and not worrying about being any were any time unless I arrange to do so, I do choose who I spend time with but most times I’m happy with spending time with good friends, don’t get told what to do, win most arguments with me Haha, there are a few things but it turns into a bit of a problem as I’m so independent in so many ways and that happens when ya has been on your own for so long.
To finish, I now understand life goes on. And if the biggest problem I have is stressing about being single for 22 years plus, that’s not too bad compared to a lot of people around the world. Mine is pretty insignificant, but it’s one of mine that does get me down every now and then, more now than then. Lol. I’d say that the most profound relationship I’ll ever have is the one with myself, and it’s not too bad. I have had worse. Lol. I know maybe there is someone out there that would find being in a relationship with me would be okay. Mmm, I’d like to think that anyway. It keeps me hoping that one day someone will walk into my life one day.
