I avoid relationships because it brings unnecessary drama to my life. Why bother when you can get it for free while the woman is nice? Once you get it, you move on to the next woman. Its a never ending cycle but its the best manner to live.
For some, yeah. For others, no. Some people float from relationship to relationship, leaving one person for another. Some people are content in their solitude. Others are *mostly* content or indifferent, while some are really lonely.

Then you have people who don't need others much but just enjoy being around people. You shouldn't ever NEED somebody, but want them.

if someone experiences 99% aggravation and 1% pleasure while in a specific relationship, then it might be time to reevaluate the value of being single

Not happy with it at all. Didn't want my divorce and have never felt so isolated and alone in my life. I hate it.

Thank you CancerianMoonPrincess, I hope so too. I'm a family guy at heart, and thats all I want. At 42, not sure it will happen.

That's great that you're a family guy, but I think you need to learn to be happy in any circumstance. I'm happy single, and I'd be happy in a relationship. But either way, I'm happy. I hope the same for you.

I'm sorry about that. I couldn't imagine loving someone who didn't love you back.

I myself have a concern of never getting married and having children. Having a marriage and a family are among my most important goals in life and I want to start on those things while I'm young. I really do feel ready to get married, and I would definitely get married now or sometimes very soon if I were with the right girl. I also want to have children very badly, being a dad is something I look forward to everyday. I want to have 4 kids (Two boys and two girls)...I had a dream a few weeks ago that I had a baby daughter. I was holding her in my arms, she had brown hair and eyes like I do and her name was Molly. She was so beautiful, and it was just amazing feeling being a dad, a happiness that I never felt before, I felt complete and whole.

I really enjoyed having that dream, if only I could have somehow recorded it and watched it...unfortunately I couldn't.

That dream really confirmed my want for a marriage and a family.

I'm a loner but I'm never alone! Don't think I can ever live with someone. It would be too much of a compromise! Most woman I know think I have some sort of commitment phobia, when in reality I can't handle someone in my space for really long periods of time.
