HAD SERIOUS LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP - I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN IN MY LIFE, CARING FOR PEOPLE I LOVE. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ROMANCE AND CANNOT STAND LIVING WITH A MAN. OR WOMAN. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE BUT MYSELF. I HATE SMALL TALK.

CAPS does read as a bit aggressive or shouty. Excitement can be conveyed with words.
Emojis can help capture emotions, but round here this <…> or #… is often used to convey attitude <helpful>

So you might say, ‘Finally decided to give dating a miss. I’m happier on my own.’
#CelibateForLife
Should I be celibate for life? I can’t be bothered to date men or women anymore, but think I might be lonely in the evenings. What should I do? <indecisive>.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE ON THE MATTER!

SAYS WHO?

Hopefully you have some friends though, because those children sure do grow up fast.

I am eternally single too, and it is worthy of shouting from the rooftops imo.

@SisterTeatime- that really made me laugh.

Never mind. Are you ok? You sound a bit stressed/fed up.

MN can be a bit rowdy sometimes. If it gets you down, ask MN to delete the thread and just hang around and read for a while instead of posting. AIBU is a bit full on. Other boards are a bit gentler.

Good for you.

so do many people

and many don’t.

your weird defensive responses on this thread suggest for you it’s the latter, but you don’t have any choice.

UnhappyHobbit · 03/09/2025 18:49

I’m so pleased you’ve reached that decision! We were all on tenter hooks waiting for you to publicly declare it. Now that you have, loudly, we can all rest easy!

MyLimeGuide · 03/09/2025 18:52

COOL 😎
