I Am Single

I've been single, mostly by choice, for almost seven years. My job and raising my son have occupied the majority of my time during those years. Most of the time, I'm fairly content. Other times, like tonight, I miss the presence of "that other person". When I feel sad, or a bit freaked out, I long to have that presence there. I miss being held the most. Wisps of sensation make their presence known from time to time, and bits and pieces of memories appear. I hope that I will be fortunate enough to find that again in the future.

-----------------------------

Sorry, I'm not much of a touchy-feely-mushy poster, but tonight was a bit crappy and emotional.

as a single guy about your same age, I know those feelings, and it brings something to my mind, I have dated single mothers but the relationship never worked out because 75% of the energy normally going into the partnership was diverted into the relationship between her and her offspring

so I guess what I am saying is that your situation is Not abnormal

Bless yah. Nothing wrong with feeling alone at times

@ScoobyScoobydoo Having a kiddo makes time go by quickly, but other aspects no of my life seem to move at a snail's pace. Ah, life.

@QueenofCups Well I wish you well. I've been down that path, and come through it. x

I'm sorry you feel this way. I understand and can empathise..I am walking in the same shoes
QueenofCups · 41-45, F
@wiltingflower Thank you. The feeling is difficult to describe at times. Usually it only partially makes sense, and yet it's so strong.

I know. We are beings that need to feel that intimacy of touch..just another presence..Single parenting takes a lot out of you..so you just to fill the tank as it is close to empty.

I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. That lack of intimacy can be very difficult to miss.
QueenofCups · 41-45, F
@AnthonyJ I'm finding that to be true.
