I HATE being single

Just hate being on my own with no one to give a toss about what sort of day I have had etc etc etc.

I know other single people who were up and about dating straight after their split and yes I know that they probably go out more than once every 3 years and so thats why they meet people but fgs, I just hate it.

Blondilocks- how long have you been single?

All the stuff you said I agree with but there are ties I would like some company,or a hug etc and at times it can get you down,particularly if you don't get out of the house and have very little adult conversation!

I odn't like being single. It was our 3rd Chreistmas since the divorce. I do think there's a difference bteween nc's/my position where the ex doesn't have the children and those divorces/separations where the other half still has the children/is involved. It really affects your ability to go out and do other things. Lots of divorced people I know don't have their children every other weekend. My ex has never had them at his house once over night in 3 years.

Can see the attraction, though Blondilocks, if that was your alternative......

Just had to take dd back to her mums, aborted sleep over for her, as I am lying in bed with glands in throat up, ache in joints and a temp. (no, really not manflu!). Mum is fine about it - first such occassion in 6 years.

If circumstances were otherwise, I would still be able to 'be with' dd in the same home. But it isn't, as I am single. Just ONE of the reasons why being single can suck like a turbo, with varying degrees of strength, from time to time. >

Being single is so much better than being with my xh but after 5 years I would like a bit of something!

Yeah I see what you mean. I do miss hugs a lot & ask me in another yr whether I like being single & my answer may be completely different.

My ex wasn't really as bad as I made it look (highlighted the bad things & none of the good) so feel a bit guilty now :-S We still get on too so that might make things easier. (& I work full time which is a good distraction).

Hope you're feeling better soon DeepPannCrispandEven.
