Not in a relationship

[smokeysmoo]

I'm currently in a wonderful relationship.
























just don't tell Mrs S

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

From the age of 14, I've always had girlfriends.

You people make me sick, I know people who just seem to drift from one relationship to another without any sort of effort, as though they have some sort of magnet attached to them, whilst the rest of us have to put in quite a bit of effort, only for nothing to happen what so ever

How the feck do you people do it? seriously?? HOW!!??

and up until two years ago I was still chasing around after women. I call it penile dementia, the way I was living my life because it was like I couldn't help myself, and it caused a lot of problems over the years.

Revenge is sweet!

And then it all stopped. It was like someone flicked a switch, and I can honestly say, my life is so much easier now. I don't miss being in a relationship, and I'm enjoying my own company.
I always thought it would be a lonely life, but it's not, it's great.

Welcome to dark side! Muhahahahaha!!

So, does anyone else enjoy the single/celibate lifestyle?

Celebate? what's that? that disgusting tasting vegetable?

I'm not sure that I'd like to be single AND celibate.

Same here.

Single and loving it.

Find life much easier sans commitment, usual jokes about toilet seats and nagging aside its a simpler existence and one which lets me do what I want, when I want.

Yes, you can do what you damn well please, its great!

 

[jig-sore]

been with the other half for 20 years now (since the age of 18) and very happy.

not all been good times but i wouldn't want out.

I've been with my OH for 10 years and there were times when it nearly did dissolve. Before I actually had to face it I was terrified of being alone and single, but when I thought it through I realised that lots of my life would remain the same and carry on as normal, so it didn't seem so bad after all. Happily we worked things out though.

Does celibacy preclude, ahem, winking?

I think a lot more women wink than actually admit to being winkers.

 

[ttcycle]

nothing wrong with a bit of winking!

 

[al78]

Yes and no.

I have never really had any success with women and have only had one girlfriend which lasted only eight months. On the one hand, the freedom aspect is nice but it would be nice to have someone to cuddle up too on a cold winters evening, and to share moments with.

Until such time (if indeed it happens at all), I will have to be satisfied with cuddling the women at the local bridge club .

i've seen a lot of websites with those ladies

Been single my entire life, and I always will be. Not one date, nothing. Had to accept it, trying to change the situation brought nothing but pain (the last time was like going from flirting to the expensive messy divorce with nothing in between). I don't 'enjoy' it, but it would have been nice to have had a choice at least once.

From the age of 14, I've always had girlfriends. I've been married twice and divorced twice, and up until two years ago I was still chasing around after women. I call it penile dementia, the way I was living my life because it was like I couldn't help myself, and it caused a lot of problems over the years. And then it all stopped. It was like someone flicked a switch, and I can honestly say, my life is so much easier now. I don't miss being in a relationship, and I'm enjoying my own company.

Celibacy sucks.

Marriage sucks.

Living in sin? Brilliant!

Fact is half the marriages end in divorce. Because marriage bestows "security" real and imaginary, it often give rise to complacency, which poisons relationship. I am not at all surprised that marriage is a declining institution. Good riddance, I say!

Against the modern convention for people my age I got married last December aged just 22. I have been with my wife for 6 and a half years now and I can honestly say I am happier than I ever have been. I constantly get the impression that other people don't think it will work out, but the key to our relationship is trust. I completely trust her 100% and I know she feels the same about me. We hide nothing from each other and another key component is compromise.

If I was single I would probably be a super fit cyclist, but i'm not. I go out religiously on a Sunday morning with the club and a couple of evenings by myself during the week, she goes to the gym/meets with friends, but if we have something planned I will happily shelve my regime to fit it around.

We haven't had kids yet and it is probably a couple of years off, but a lot of people my age have kids, but are not married and in half the cases aren't even together with the other parent. I'd like to think I have done it the right way round.

It's my wifes birthday tomorrow, she is out partying with her work colleague tonight whilst I wrap up her present, have booked a swanky hotel for December so she can spoil herself rotten shopping, afterall she does put up with me squandering our disposable income on bikes for at least 8 months of the year. I'm not out as I have the Dartmoor Devil on Sunday and do not want to harm my body whatsoever!!

In summary, some people are made for being single, some people enjoy the company of a partner, i'm of the latter.
