Year and a half single, after a 5 year relationship. I'm not rushing things!

I've been single since the end of 2008, I like the "single life" sometimes, but there are days I kind of miss the whole relationship life also!

Divorced 4 years in February (after 17 years of marriage). I have more time with my kids now, plus they are with me 90% of the time. I'm happy though, so all is good.

I'm sure we'll all find someone we deserve and need when we least expect it. At least that's what all the people who have someone say... *grumble*lyingbastards*grumble*

I truly loathe that line of 'comfort', especially from my smug married friends. I've always been single, and have never even been on a date. At nearly 30, that concerns and upsets me. Apparently, I'm "intimidating" - presumably because I have career goals, am intelligent, and appear (important word, that!) to have a degree of confidence. The odd thing about that is that those are things I would view as positive attributes in a boyfriend/partner/husband, but it would seem that in a woman, these things are perceived as negatives by a lot of men. I think I'm fairly pretty, and built on a big scale, so have always been 'in proportion', but between not being a stick-insect and having a brain & using it, it seems men just don't see me in a 'romantic' light.

I freely acknowledge the good things about being single as well, but I'd really, really like to have someone in my life to laugh and snuggle with, for whom I'd be one of their top priorities and vice versa, and I want a family at some point, so tthere's that to consider too. I guess at base, I'm just terribly lonely, and the well-meaning platitudes stop having any meaning once you've heard them on a regular basis for fifteen years!

Oops, I seem to have killed the thread! Very sorry! Didn't mean to, just went out for dinner last night with two smug-married, but lovely, couples, and another friend who is engaged, and woke up to an email about her wedding from my best friend from primary school, so the negativity-quotient this morning is quite high!

I've been single for 4 months. Well I'd say 5 yrs as my last relationship was long distance and we rarely say each other. But I'm enjoying doing me :-)

Single for 9 years after being in relationship at uni for around 2 years... ended badly & smashed what little self confidence I had left

Hello Baxyboy, I too have been single for a long time (about 7 and half years. I am also from the UK - Kent. I was pretty much done over when my ex pretty much left me on an a road a good distance from home, it was about midnight and I was 11 weeks pregnant! My little 1 is nearly 7 now. I don't miss much from a relationship except maybe for the companionship, someone to talk to, you are more than welcome to add me if you wish

Within a month of starting on here I ended a relationship I'd been in for nearly 7 years. That was 4 months ago. My ex is still living in my house, we get on ok but at some stage he's going to have to go so I can move on with my life.

Changing my life healthwise has changed every other aspect of my life- I was miserable in my relationship so I ended it, I was miserable in my job so I found a new one.

I've made HUGE changes in my life in the last 5 months, can't wait to see where I am in another 5!
