I miss having someone.

When I was younger, I thought of people who relied on their boyfriends/girlfriends too much are the needy/insecure people. I thought that these people are insecure to live their lives on their own, because they need their partners to be with them the whole time. I was one of these "people" before as well. I used to rely on my boyfriend, made him THE part of my everyday. But then as I thought about it, having a relationship isn't all about insecurity, about a person needing another to love him/her before she can love herself. Also, having someone is about HAVING SOMEONE TO GIVE YOURSELF TOO. Being in a relationship isn't a TAKE, but a GIVE as well. I miss sharing and giving a part of myself to someone. What about you? Are you single or in relationship? How are you taking everything? Are you happy?

Hi there jamie... Its nice that you are thinking that way. That's lovely though.. But let me add some more... for me, having a relationship is really not putting ones partner as center of our life to make the partnership a better one but its a matter of ACCEPTANCE... Things like you don't just say I love you because things are working fine but also saying I love you when everything are into whirlwind. When you bow to love a person, its loving everything from her... the nice things about her, the tantrums, the mood swings... everything! With this, at the end of the day, you will see your relationships foundation as hard as steel, and sweeter as days goes by... You have a great day!

Rodel I agree with you :) when you're in a relationship and if you really love someone, you will love everything about the person. As in everything. Flaws, mistakes, and his "potential of becoming". Its also about being together thru thick and thin. Never letting go and giving up when the storm tries to destroy you.

I feel alone right now. i don't obviously have some one in my life. sad but true. i have family but they don't know what i feel every day. the sadness and sorrow that i felt over night. but am afraid to share because i have learned nothing and experience a few..that she might get bored of me.

Hi LetranKnight :) I feel for you, same here, I don't have someone right now. I know we have our friends and family, but it really is different when you have someone with you. You know, to share everything with you, problems, laughter, jokes, anything at all! Anyway, I know the day will come that the right person that is truly meant for us will find their way. :) let's just enjoy every moment of being single! Although at times it may be sad, let's try looking at the brighter side, and still have faith that hey, something or someone is on his/her way to come :)

I agree with you that a relationship is a give and take scenario. It takes two to tango. I was in a relationship lately but right now I am single again. It was a long distance relationship but my bf was here last May for a 3week vacation with me. I missed my bf and we still email sometimes but its not the same anymore. I am not happy about it to be honest. I don't know what the future will bring to us but I am hoping that we will end up in the future.

Hi sophie:) I was in your situation before. When I broke up with my last boyfriend I was kind of hoping that we will still end up together. But I guess we will know everything soon. In the mean time it is best to just accept whatever will happen to us. Let's enjoy the journey :)

It's absolutely right the way you mentioned it. People think that having a partner is all about having someone to depend on, but they fail to realize that it the one person you can talk freely to. Family is there. But you can't everything to the family as they get judgmental. bourne

Hi Bourne :) Having a partner is ideally a package deal: lover/best friend all in one.

I'm in a relationship right now. Its a four years relationship. But 1 year of it I'm not with my partner because I am working abroad. Insecurities in a relationship is not helpful to both parties. It will kill the love to each other. I believe in give and take in a relationship. It will give more sacrifices to one another and strengthen the love to each other. Now I am praying that someday my boyfriend will be here with me. And we will work together for our future.

Its hard to be away from the person you love. But I guess real love will conquer distance, no matter how far you are away from each other :) all will be well in the end.

I'm single.. not much happy as I could be but I guess I'm fine by myself for the time being. I'm kinda bi-polar and sometimes I'm really down about how I could be with someone but I choose not to just because I don't want to get hurt in the end. But that's my weakness. All I can do is go against my feelings. I'm a listen to the brain, not the heart type of person. Hehe corny, I know. I've been in a relationship of course and it does feel great to share your everyday life with someone you love but the pain I receive from all of that gets me asking myself "Is it worth it?"

I get what you mean tonynooblet. But I guess risking is all part of love-- or life in general. You can never be really happy if you haven't tried risking.

I know what you mean.. Even independent people needs companionship for after a busy day at work, and there is no one around to talk and share the joy or stress with, there will be a large gaping hole..

hi JamieRose, Someone special in life is something i really cherish and can be the best thing that can happen to anyone. being in love makes me feel complete and i got the best girl in world thats what i think so and i wont debate on that. Though i havent been quite a good boy friend but i am really trying hard and you are right to make any relationship meaningful and successful you have to go give a lot of yourself and do have to keep your lovers sensitivities in mind and try to make your love happy is the thing but if you are not serious in your attitude it would show . I do miss her a lot if i dont talk to her all the time and not planning to ever give her up no matter what.

Hi agrim94! I guess relationships entail work and commitment. It is adjusting and being open to the love of your life, being able to take risks and to experience everything with that person. I'm happy you have found the right girl for you. :)

I'm not happy at this moment and its all my fault. I was with a man for 18 years and decided to sell my house and move to another state to be near my granddaughter. He wasn't following me because he didn't want to go to the state I was moving to. Instead he moved to Puerto Rico and had a house build. Now after two years of being alone we are missing each other immensely. I took a trip back in April to see him and things were great and we realized we belong together. Now I have come back home and I have to either try and sell my house or rent it out. With the market the way it is I'm scared. Being with someone makes life more enjoyable and to me he is my best friend. I just hope and pray I can get to PR by early next year because life is just to short. I miss having my love and best friend around. I wish you luck in finding your one and only.

Hi lelin. I hope you fix things and finally solve everything for you guys to be together :) i guess if you really love a person, at the end you see yourselves naturally drawing back to each other. I'm happy for you :)

Yes, I do enjoy the 'give and take' part in a relationship. I'm married and both my husband and I always tolerate each other's tantrums and mood. We understand each other so well and still have lots more to learn about 'us'! You said you were one of those 'people', so are you still in a relationship or single?

Hi Candy :) I'm currently single. I date from time to time but I'm not rushing into things. Just enjoying everything as it comes along!
