I am doing well and thank you sir! Did you see the Lady Sooners won the National Championship in softball?
BOOOOOOMER!!!!
Thanks for chiming in everyone and sharing your stories. It's good to see that those of you who survived a death, divorce, or a bad relationship came out stronger on the other side.
I think one of the questions that bothers me the most is "but don't you hate being alone"? The thing is, is that I'm not alone. I have friends and family. I travel to visit friends. To some people if you're not with a significant other then you must be "lonely"
Sometimes I think about when I retire(unfortunately a long time from now) that it would be nice to have someone around more. Never say never but if it stays never I am perfectly okay with it.

I actually enjoyed being single. I never felt "alone", as I grew up in a family where you could all be gathered in the same room and still be 100% lonely. "Alone" isn't a thing, it's a feeling, and it doesn't matter how many people you're sitting beside.
I also enjoyed being single because I was 100% sure I wasn't going to settle to fit into the mold of the societal norm.
The people who feel not having a significant other = automatic loneliness and misery (IMO) are far, far too dependent on others to make them happy. I don't consider this some horrible character flaw (been there, done that) but I think society shapes and molds us from infanthood to feel as though other people are what can make us happy vs. deciding what makes us happy and going for it. Single life, before or after being wed, is the perfect time to decide what you enjoy doing and who you are. Some people do much better as a couple, others don't, so there's really no right or wrong answer. But I got really irritated being asked (or having it be assumed) that (when I was single) that I was lonely and miserable. Talk to someone who's unhappily married--they'll tell you how lonely and miserable they are even with that wedding band on their finger.
Yeah, sure... I suspect the minute after you get your hands on my goodies, I’ll be swimming with the fishes. Luckily for you I know of at least one other person in Maine that might have motive in my demise... which will keep the cops scratching their heads for awhile.Now this ad right here might actually make me wear the golden handcuffs. Lori Dio has an interesting ring to it...

Dayum. I need to re think this marriage thing now....or buy more cement.I hope it's a size 16.

I have to disagree with you Mel. 'Alone' isn't a feeling; it's simply the condition of being by yourself with no other people (or animals) around you. It doesn't mean, necessarily, that you are 'lonely', which is a feeling. This may seem like a quibble, since people do casually say "I feel alone", but technically that's incorrect.
I do agree that someone being alone doesn't mean that same someone is a miserable, lonely wretch, lol. It's human nature to crave human interaction and validation from others (to say nothing of physical needs) but it is certainly feasible to live a life uncoupled, so to speak.
......you could always visit NC.Yeah, sure... I suspect the minute after you get your hands on my goodies, I’ll be swimming with the fishes.

I was single for many years before I met my partner 2014 (we are still together) I was sure that I never find the man of my life and
had already gave up the hope. I had a good time while I was single and was ready to build up my life alone and no one by my side.
But then my life changed suddenly 2014, which I did not think would have happened.

I was 32 when I got married. I never thought I would meet the one. But I did. We've had our ups and downs, still do. I was happy enough single, had some good times. But....
Would I be any safer down yonder?
....oh he's just boasting....ya know, "big feet, big....."..........Dayum. I need to re think this marriage thing now....or buy more cement.
.....where the state motto is "Home of the Pointy Stick"......
Switch sides and we won't be single anymore
Of course!Would I be any safer down yonder?
Yeah, there's that, but don't forget about the great and wonderful viaduct.....or the old stump.........
