Living alone for the first time in donkeys years.
I'm in an awesome, long distance open relationship so not I guess exactly single, but having somewhere just to myself when I've spent so long living in a family unit feels weird.
Sometimes good weird, other times it feels very isolated.
Cooking for one, coming home to an empty flat, not having the responsibilities I used to and being able to do fuck all, eat snacks all day and binge watch Netflix til the early hours feels like it did many moons ago when I'd first left uni.
Apart from Netflix. Back then it was Blockbuster Video of course.....  |

I think i got similar mothers day communications... But they literally bombarded my email asking me, so it was more in your face than if they hadn't asked  |

I am single by choice and I will always be but I need a surgery and there’s nobody I can put as my “next of kin” and nobody to pick me up from hospital so I keep postponing in hope my condition will get better (It won’t, unfortunately). |

You can choose whoever you like as "next of kin" - there is no real legal definition. For hospitals it's more an emergency contact than anything else.
Maybe a friend can come to pick you up - it doesn't need to be family. |

A family meal just before Christmas.
3 siblings, all married. 2 with kids.
That made me feel single.
An hour later, the kids had proven to be pretty irritating and my siblings lives seemed to revolve around taking their kids to events and the other couple were in deep negotiation over which room to hang a picture that one of them strongly disliked.
I was very happy to get home, to a house where the good chocs are exactly where I left them, I decide where I want to hang pictures and my time isn't spent living through my kids.
I was very happy to feel so single and carefree  |

I had those for mother's day and father's day too recently.
Most everything reminds me I'm single, everything is aimed at couples or families. Worst is the constant " are you dating anyone". Starting new job Tuesday and the first thing my cousin said was maybe you'll meet the one there..ffs |

Spam phone calls offering me life insurance.I try explaining to them that I'm their worst potential customer because I have no direct family..
Also when i speak to old friends of my mum and dad (they have both passed) and they tell me I should get married and have children.
Experienced the next of kin thing too as previously mentioned..it bad after you've had surgery and you're on your own to recover. Just finding somewhere to stay overnight is difficult. I think you have to put the name and phone number down of the person you're staying with for 48 hours after general anaesthetic. I've thought about asking the taxi driver to pretend to be my uncle.. |

I am very much aware of this but still, there’s nobody I can put as such or ask, and this is due to my life circumstances being a little bit more complicated than I’d wish them to be.

Recovering from a big operation. I was very lucky having a best mate who would drop everything and fly over for the first 10 days, but when that ended it was pretty scary. For the first time in years I felt very alone. |

Nothing recently. But when I used to work in a large office and a lot of the women would get bouquets of flowers sent to them in the office on Valentines I’d feel a little bit deflated, unloved and uncared for.
I now work in a tiny office and it’s not a thing

No that’s even worse! I’d rather fall off the ladder than venture down there alone! |

"Hahaha. That’s harsh!!!
I keep getting funeral planning emails.
Me too!!! I get letters as well! I mean christ I’m not even mid-age and they’re already trying to sell me my death!"
Here’s how I see it
“Woody, just sort your funeral out so we know it’s organised and we can move on and forget about you!’
So I keep ignoring them so the message again and give me some attention at least. This is why I love junk mail, they NEED me, … as long as I keep them hanging. |

I'd agree with that somewhat.
Some of it can be self-imposed exile. |

No sex
Putting the bins out
Stacking fence panels on top of each other on my patio.
Using screwdrivers on stuff
Lifting heavy things
Carrying shopping in from the car
Putting shelves up

I had the Tesco email too. I also got one from HMRC a few years back asking if I was still in a single adult household or would I like to change my circumstances. When I called up to confirm I was still single they said that usually after about 4 years people are coupled up again lol.
8 years single now and very happy  |

I mostly like being single but recently being let down by someone I liked a lot and had high hopes for, and a friend referring to him and his partner as "we" in a conversation, hit a bit harder than I expected.
I don't want anything exclusive but sometimes I'd like there to be someone. |

Try putting a long piece of string through the puller on the zipper - similar to the way surfers have on their wetsuits. Then, when the zipper is done up, just pull the string out. |

Nothing recently.
One thing I do remember is Christmas before last, the place I was working was where everyone's partner was invited. Just rubbish feeling like yeah, I don't have a partner, but thanks for making me feel like the odd one out  |

Not expecting a valentines card.
I struggle a bit with thinking I’m single but officialdom says I stopped being married when she died. It doesn’t feel exactly as cut and dried as that though and can be a bit much to think about.
I have said in my profile after asking advice though.
Passed aisle at supermarket with that stuff today and wasn’t really for looking. |

"I fell off my faulty loft ladder and damaged my shoulder. It took 2 years to fully heal !
Either get someone else to do it or just put a cover over the tree ! Lol"
We should help each other this year as that was my answer too! Apart from the falling part. I didn’t fall. So maybe I’m better at climbing loft ladders than you |

I was never a cat person either, until we inherited one. Ailsa was never going to give it up, so I made an effort to bond. About year later I rescued another. I couldn’t live without a cat now. |

I went back home for Christmas and met with the old friends from my hometown. All of them are now married, with multiple kids, and little old me is the only one still without. For Valentine's day I will be at the local park throwing stones at happy couples, if anyone wants to join I'll have extra stones. |
