I miss sleeping next to someone, I miss cuddling, kisses on the neck,miss intimacy, miss having someone special in my life.

How do you cope? I haven't been in a relationship in over 2 years. I'm not coping well, I'm kind of bitchy all the time. For you young people, the older you get especially with a kid, the harder it gets to find a compatible and suitable life partner, it's almost like it's too late, like you missed the boat. It's discouraging, I'm tired of dealing with faders and users, they prey on my weakness to be loved. I'm thinking about getting on meds to become numb and give up on dating completely

I don't think you need meds.

Doll yourself up and get your picture out there. Some guy will find you just right for him. However, if you don't advertise then they won't know you are available.

In my case, I think I prefer the idea of being with someone over the reality of being with someone. So it's not that hard for me to cope.

To me, it's much lonelier to be with the wrong person.

LOL, that too! Also, I'm in the process of installing a porn mod for my Sims 4 game so you may not see me around here for a few days once I get that up and running.

It's far better to be alone than being with someone who makes you feel lonely.

I didn't really get into a solid relationship until age 33. Married at at 35. Before then, I dated, but no real relationship. I had 2-3 year stints without being with someone.

How did I deal with it?

Working on Muscle Cars
Riding Motorcycles
Golf
Hang with friends
Spend my money on whatever I wanted
Shooting Guns
Salt Water Aquariums
Building Drones
Fishing
White Water Rafting
Etc. Etc.


My point was as much as I didn't like it, I kept busy and had fun. Eventually I did meet someone that took all my free time away and made me sell off all my hobbies!


















J/K. She's a peach. I still get to have fun.

Basically, set the negatives about it aside a little bit, and use the time (even if it's very slim) that you aren't with your kid or work......to follow your passion, hobby or whatever. In other words, get yourself too busy to dwell on it. Somehow, the right mate or a string of great dates always seems to appear during these times....

In no time you'll be too busy or caught up in better things.....and you'll be too exhausted at night to care about "lonely".



POST EDIT; Mike 7 above ^^^^^ explains it well.

This is so very true. I was in a relationship around this time last year, and right around this time I started to feel very lonely in my relationship. She had enough going on in her personal life dealing with new job, new state, and parents impeding divorce, that I felt my issues regarding the relationship could not stack up to what she was dealing with. We obviously broke up, but that was the first time I felt THAT LONELY within a relationship.
