I miss the cuddles, I also feel like **** when I can go all day and not get a single text msg or phone call from anyone. That really stings

True... but then I never got cuddles phone calls or texts when I was married, either.

ETA: There are worse things than being sometimes alone...how about having a stalker, or being miserably married.

I agree, I have been in the "miserable marriage" relationship, and that is worse than being alone.

I'm usually pretty alright about it other than when I'm out with my friends and they are being all cute and lovey and I'm just like oh I'm gonna die all by my lonesome or on the odd occasion I find myself with absolutely nothing to do.

I know right? All of my friends are married or in long term committed relationships. I hate feeling like the third wheel.

I will not go out with a couple. Did it once and hated every second of it! Sometimes my roommate and I, when we're out with our other roommates and their boyfriends, we say we're dating each other!

When everyone ask "How have you been?" and you say "Oh great, I'm happy as can be". When deep down you know something is missing. You don't want anyone to think you are lonely and they try and set you up with someone. Its that bye honey see you after work or wake up with someone smiling at you. Damn, sounds pathetic doesn't it. Oh well back to I'm doing great attitude. lol.

^^^^^this fits me perfectly too!

More often now then not.

I am busy with my kids, and of course they are my priority.....so I'm not going to settle for a 'doomed' or unhealthy relationship for the sake of having company.

That being said, I recognize that my kids won't be home 'forever', and honestly, the idea of being alone for life scares me, My dad never dated anyone after my mom and him split, and I always felt horrible as he's a great guy.

I see couples on the transit, or in the stores holding hands, snuggling up, laughing.....and I miss it. I loved my marriage and was 100% committed to it. I'd like to have that feeling again.

I hope it happens, but I'm starting to lose faith. The next relationship I'll probably have is in the nursing home playing 'footsie' with the guy in the wheel chair across from me.

I don't really get lonely too often. I guess because I have a pretty active life. But I do miss living with someone to have sex with whenever.... tmi I know. I also miss not having someone to cook for or just to be there to watch movies with. Or on snowy days to go out and play in it or road trips! There are things I miss but other days I like to have me time.

But I much rather be alone then to be miserable with someone for the sake of not being alone. I already did that once and never again.

Yep, this is me too. The things I miss are nothing compared to the freedom to just be myself. The next relationship is going to have to be mutual acceptance of who we are and who we become instead of a one-sided constant demand to change who I am, and if the acceptance isn't there, alone is better.
