How to cope with living only for yourself.
I'm 35. I have been single for 2 years, no DC.
I have a nice life... my job is good, home is nice. Friendships are strong.
I volunteer, and find that helps me feel less alone. But it's not enough. I still come home to somewheee that's lonely.
Ive considered housemates but feel I'm past all that... I like my own space.
I've had enough. What's the point in earning money and having a nice home when you have no family? It's all I've ever wanted, yet I've ended up with a great career and no financial worries... but no family. I resent it all and don't see the point to anyfing anymore. Dreading Christmas and being with family just reminds me I'm the odd one out, driving over alone while everyone is coupled up with their little kids.
