He didn't. We actually hung on for a few more years after that before finally moving on. Just wasn't meant to be.

"Single" from marriage, about 5 years and it's mostly been good since. I felt worse about burying my last Labrador than I did exiting the marriage and to be fair, I think the ex felt the same about me, over the long run. Wonderful kiddo from it though, so all was not lost or a waste, per 'se.

Single life is, what you make of it.......if you're a glass half empty type, single life will be rough.

That's rare dear, I would say overall for both sexes it is because on less you are socially declined or have a physical ailment then you would have had at least a relationship with another person even if it did not lead to sex.

Nope many are hermits this day and age.Technology gave many no need to go out and get human interaction.

I'm sorry you've had to go through such a horrible thing. I hope things will get better for you and that you will be able to find a guy that will treat you right!

I've been single for 2 years and my last relationship was a bad one. I was with him for a year and we talked about getting married but thank god it didn't happen. He seemed very sweet and caring the first few months but then I ended up seeing his true colors. He was cheating on me more than once, he took me for granted, he became extremely jealous of me having friends that he wanted me to stop having any friends. He was mentally abusive and just tried bringing me down completely. For a while he did. I felt worthless and trapped. I picked myself up and realized no body deserves to put up with garbage. Life is way too short for that nonsense. When things ended I felt so free. I was able to travel and do things without feeling weighed down. Even though I would love to find that special someone one day, I'm very happy being single, if it happenes one day good if not then that's ok as well but it's way better to be single than be stuck with someone who is toxic.
