Do you want to be single?

I agree - I love that I am so comfortable about my partner and that I can be myself completely around him!

I really really miss being single, or at least just dating. I hate the constant need to think of another person (even though he's relatively low maintenance), the calls, the emotions, the sheet-hogging...

I think I'd be lonely without him though, honestly.

I am going through the process of a divorce. (Not a bad one) I live in the attic and I will move out this year if I can afford it. We try to keep things civil and amicable for the kids (2). She stays at home 99% of the time. If she goes out, it is to family functions. She does not want the divorce. I do. I have wants, needs and desires. I go out when I can afford to. I have a great time. I look forward to being on my own. When I got married I moved out of my Mom's house and moved into our home. We never slept together until we were married. Like I said. I look forward to the single life. But, I am not in a rush. I never cheated and sex is something I look forward to in the future. I just want to move out and move on. It's been 3years already, whats another. So, it is not about a mid life crisis or sowing my oats. I will have fun, when the time is right, I do have morals and manners. I also have a lot to learn about. And this site, is fantastic. I learn so much by reading what many of you have to say. I have made a few mistakes, but I am learning. And, you do have to break some eggs to make jello. LOL

I used to want to be single without him, but I realized how empty I felt when I broke up with him. It wasn't worth it at all. I really don't know what I'd do without him here.

Me too. I love my man, but I don't get as much sex I want. This is a constant struggle in our relationship. We have a toddler and he works 12 hour days on a rotating schedule. Sex just isn't a priority to him. He has no time on the days that he works, and I understand that. He does get more days off than most people, and I feel like it shouldn't be a problem to have sex at least once a day on those days, when the boy is asleep. I know this isn't always feasible, but I get really disappointed when he is home for two or three days and we don't have sex at all, or if we do, it is really quick. He does try to make it up to me, and I get really good sex, with lots of foreplay and bondage and spanking, etc. about once a month.
So, I am torn. I love our relationship in every other way, and I feel like I am being selfish, but I can't help the way I feel. If I feel unsatisfied, then I feel unsatisfied. He averages three off days a week, and every other week those three days are together. I don't think it unreasonable to have sex two or three times a week, with at least one of those times being more than a quicky. I try not to nag, but if I don't say anything( and I have tried this, thinking the nagging made him not want to do it more) we will go weeks without sex at all.
I have never been single very long, and I wish I had taken some time to be single, live on my own, not have to answer to anyone but me. I tried this for one year after my last relationship, but I ended up quickly back in one. I was pregnant with my first and only child at the end of my lease, so I ended up living with him. Sigh... I always fall in love too fast. I like to be with someone who you can be comfortable with, some one you know is "clean" and is sleeping with you and only you, so you can be as kinky as you want to be and not have to worry about feeling self conscious or worrying about condoms(which I hate and am allergic to).
The sex is always good at the beginning of a relationship and I am happy. Then the frequency goes down drastically, and I end up unhappy. Such is the vicious circle. Thinking myself shallow, I toughed it out for FIVE years in my last relationship, where I NEVER had sex. Seriously, it was once a month and I had to BEG for it. I finally left him, and swore never to let my needs go unfulfilled again. Granted that was a completely different and more sever situation, but here I am again. Of course, I have toys to help, but in the end, I just want my man. Toys can't tie me up, and tell me what to do! lol

Haha! I'm on the other side of that- and I totally love that part of being single. All the times that I start wishing I was in a relationship I just have to think about the logistics of sharing space with another person... usually gives me a "whew" feeling

I am single, and do not know what all the buzz is about.

Lol!

this is the kind of thing i'm talking abut and i think so many of us find ourselves multitasking the sh#t out of life. it's easier to be single.

I am involved right now, but sometimes I find myself wishing that I was single again. I love where I am at in my life, but wish that I could just get out on my own and just date and/or have my own place to go to, to get away from time to time. I don't know what it is, but it just feels like there is something missing and like this isn't where I belong. Has anyone/does anyone currently feel the same way I do?!!?

I felt that way during my marriage, but I was married to the wrong guy and had married him straight out of my parents' home, so I never got a chance to find out what 'being on my own' was like. I'm not sure if the situation is anything similar, but I do know how it feels to have that back-of-the-mind tugging of "What the hell am I doing here??"
