Well your assumption is not correct. And if ya'll worry about each other that much to the point you think about it every damn day.......get help. Being alone is a big damn difference than being lonely.
Who says anyone worries to the point where they think about it every damn day? Jesus. People have all sorts of thoughts over time, they express them , and rude people respond ("how dare you think that thought you weirdo"). Just another day on CD.
If you are a parent and never had a worrying thought about your child (regardless of age) I pity you all.
Hoping he finds someone. I was alone for 15yrs. I told myself I would not go out with anyone unless it was someone I'd consider spending the rest of my life with. I had lots of offers but.... nah. I spent that time submerged in church activities and developed a great relationship with God. Then I met the man of my dreams (I'm female).
Maybe I'm just a real oddball, but I don't think most people are constantly afraid of being alone so much that they will just settle for anything.
Yes, well I do think that we're both real oddballs in that respect. I don't mean settling for a particular person you're less than happy with, so much as settling with a life you're less than happy with, just because it's a life everyone else says you're supposed to be happy with.
I can't do that. If it means spending my entire life alone, then so be it.
Though apparently I won't have to. And for that, I really consider myself the luckiest man in the world.
but how does one know what the future is going to be like? people can and do change.
People can and do change; but going into a relationship with someone about whom you have doubts, hoping they will change in the future, is not a good idea.

i only worry about those times when he feels lonesome.
Feeling lonely at times is a part of being human. Even people who are married can feel lonely, and that might be the worst kind of loneliness there is.

Perfect. Thank you for saying that.
Again i appreciate those of who have responded with honesty and those of who have shared your own stories.
It is not about marriage but a person you share your life with, the comfort of another being to share joy, grief, worries, and build a history with. I would think any mother would want that for her child. It is crazy that so many jump to gender issues. Regardless of sexual orientation i think all of us need that.
Read the first sentence of your fourth paragraph. In fact cut it out, make copies of it and paste those copies to every mirror in your house. Look at them daily.
Then find something else to do with your time. Your son is 35- leave him alone. Do not project any of your feelings onto him - just let him be.
^^^Thank you Jesus.
This is me, except the female version - and I don't bring ANYBODY home because they'll ask about them forever, like this poster is doing. I found out my cousin thinks I'm gay.
