learning_slowly Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Yep. That's exactly where I am at - and I keep going back and forth, not happy with either decision. Also, is the one of the 3 things that is lacking, teachable or do you have the ability to learn that connection?
hotpotato Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Happy being single for a period of time? Plenty of people. Happy being single all their lives? Much rarer, I would imagine. Personally, I could be the former, probably not the latter. My LTR isn't the entirety of my world, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a big part of my happiness. There's just something about having someone with whom you connect mentally, emotionally, and sexually - and knowing they feel the same way about you. But that's just me. I'm sure there are people who really don't care about having that. Also, despite the importance of a R to me, I'd still rather be single than in a bad relationship. I've left relationships for that reason, and never regretted it. As I get older, I care less about the connection. It seems better to put my energies into things that respond well to hard work. If anything I'd like to have a little romance in my life, maybe, but the connection isn't necessary.
