Destined to be alone?

About 2 years ago I ended an 8 year relationship with my children's father, in all those 8 years I was NEVER happy. Quite soon afterwards I got involved in another relationship which has just ended (my choice) after a year of being together as everything he did wound me up, in the end I couldn't stand him near me although he is quite a nice bloke in his own way.

Now, whenever I think of being with someone I feel totally against the idea, the way they boss you around, take the mick, the lazyness, greedyness, thoughtlessness....I really enjoy being on my own now but I don't want to stay like this forever but I just cannot imagine living with anyone ever again, is this just a phase or am I destined to live alone and enjoy life on my own?

A phase
I have had two bad relationships and felt so happy and free when the second one ended... Just started a new one but am taking it very slowly indeed.
Give yourself time to yourself though and good luck next time. I reckon you learn a lot from every relationship even if they don't work out. Don't lose faith in yourself

Very easy to be cynical and its "safer" emotionally to be on your own but maybe a nice man will come along that'll change your mind - when you are ready for it.
