do you know who you are without your partner? or are you not you unless you're in a relationship?

I think the last few years I got a grip on my identity as an individual. I think its important to have some sort of life away from your partner.

@JarJarBoom agreed, and I'm so glad you have found yourself

I know who I am. Always did even when Mr. Ohara was with me. I do not need a man to define me.

I've never been in a relationship and I've been the same more or less for these 18 years of my life. So I'm just me and I have no idea what I'd be like when in a relationship.

I was lost for years after my wife of 32 years died.
KaysHealingPath36-40, F
@TheProphet im so sorry, 32 years is a long time. *hugs* I'm sorry you lost her.
TheProphetM
@KaysHealingPath Hugs back. Thank you Kay. Yes it was a very long time and I still miss her.
My partner does not define me, she enhances me.....

I鈥檓 comfortable in my relationship knowing I can function fine independently.

I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 healthy to feel your nothing, a nobody or incapable without that other person.

But that鈥檚 just me. I know some couples get off on that shit.
KaysHealingPath36-40, F
@User41 yeah some couples do especially newer ones, i just don't get it.

I think you need to have an identity separate from your partner....I am me whether or not I鈥檓 in a relationship.

Both if that makes sense.
I dont understand the question. I guess this is a married person issue
KaysHealingPath36-40, F
@DarlingSelah no, some people just don't know who they are outside of their relationships (dating, married or other) their entire purpose is to please their partner and be who their partner wants and needs them to be and without a partner they don't know what to do. they don't know how to be single.

I'd rather not be hobbled by that kind of toxic codependence.
