Am I the ONLY single person on this site??
And I'm not complaining about it. This pretty much sums it up ^^^
Marriage and especially kids were never a priority for me and I've stayed single by choice. Dated, had my share of fun when I was younger and now I just feel...settled. In a good way.
No, you aren't. I was married for 8 years and managed to father a couple of awesome sons in the process. In early 2013, the ex wife told me that she was ready to end it. I was in full agreement. We'd just reached a point where we were constantly fighting, with very few "good" days. Ironically, the day she told me she was done was one of the good ones. Anyway, early summer of 2014, I met a lady online and we "dated" about a month and a half. I ended that one. There were 2 reasons. One, we lived about 2 hours from each other and I worked about 3 hours from her (I was commuting about an hour everyday at the time). Two, she was, to put it bluntly, crazy. I know, I know...all guys say women are crazy, but in this case it was all too true. She once pulled a sword on me. And would call me late at night having screaming fits. I just couldn't deal with all that at that point in my life. Fast forward to October 2014. I met (once again online) a beautiful, wonderful, smart, funny lady. We ended up in a serious relationship for nearly 2 years. I was head over heels. Last September, she came to me and told me that she wanted to break up because she felt like we were in different places in our lives. She wasn't wrong. I'd already read the writing on the wall. We still remain friends and she even came to my mom's funeral in March and sat with me. After she and I split up, I had a brief rebound fling with an old high school friend, but it wasn't anything serious and it fizzled out. I've been unattached ever since. I kinda dig it. Do I get lonely sometimes? Sure. But...there's just something liberating about not having to "check in" with someone and doing pretty much what you want, when you want without having to coordinate with a significant other. Anyway...that's my story.
