It's been a while since I've been in a relationship and being that I am over 41, and the choices are next to nil. I miss certain parts of being in a relationship: the conversation, the company, the love-making. It will be 2 years in October. Are you in a relationship? How is it going? or have you been single for a while? How do you feel about it? Please share. God Bless! : )

Hi Linda4ualways,
No, I am not in a relationship right now and I am loving it. I read and hear about all the relationships gone bad, so, I just am not in the frame of mind to deal with the cheating and lying partners, right now. I don't want to have to change and keep changing partners, so I just am taking a break. I have good friends and a good life. I just don't find myself longing to be in a relationship.
I am so into me right now, not selfishly, I'm finding out who I am, and what I aspire to be when I grow up (I'm older than you are). I am back in college, and is very exciting to see my brain still on fire for learn new things. I just don't find it necessary, right now for me to be in a relationship.
Having a trusting caring man in our lives is a wonderful gift. Sometimes, this gift comes later, after we know who we are and are ready to deal with a partner's baggage, 'cause there sure will be some baggage. I'm not ready to deal.
I hope you find the perfect partner that you are looking for and who deserves you.

Truth be told Angelgirl, I too hear about relationships gone bad and all of the nonsense that goes on and I myself am not in any rush to go through that. I have always been the type to like long relationships however, I am not the type that is so desperate for one that I would endure anything to be in one. I guess it's just sometimes I feel lonely but then I wake up the next day and am fine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me Angelgirl16. Have a blessed day!

Hi Linda,
That a girl. The main thing is that we single girls, take care of ourselves in the meantime, while we are hoping for "Mr. Right" to come alone.

Hi again Linda! I would say "Good for YOU! There is nothing wrong
with being single, first of all especially until you really find
the right person! I am still with the same person I was with, but
things are not working out much better than they were the last
time we "talked". In fact, these days things are getting worse
again and I'm back to not knowing how much longer we will be
together because I know we shouldn't be for so many reasons! It's
way too complicated to explain! It sure isn't a "love connection"
that's for sure! It's starting to not even be a good "roommate"
situation at this point and I swear that if and when it does
end I'm through totally! I will not get into another relationship
of any kind again and I mean it! I'm getting too old for this
kind of crap! (excuse my language)! I don't need the drama,
aggravation or anything else at this point in my life!

Hi there Opal26! 
It's been so long since I've been here. I am really sorry to hear that much hasn't changed in your relationship since we last spoke. The man that I was with, his name is John, not sure if you remember, but anyway while he was with me, he was also with someone else but that supposedly ended but it didn't. He married her and was still trying to hold on to me. Well that has been nearly 2 years. Are you still in Yonkers?
Don't worry Opal, when you're finished with dealing with the nonsense you will know and then you will be able to make that decision you need to make. Talk to you later.

I have been single for over 30 years....the last relationship I was in was over six years ago....I have had offers but right now I am too busy to have a relationship with anyone...I wouldn't have the proper time to dedicate to someone else and I am not willing to compromise on what I am doing with my time.

I remember being single and I hated it too. I'm sorry, I hope you find someone for you. I am married. My marriage is pretty good. Of course it has it's ups and downs and I wish there was more romance in our relationship but being together for 6 years the romance does not exist. I am hoping a vacation somewhere romantic will help.
