Times like these make me think should I be in a relationship; having your own place and a lot of time on your own makes you think a lot about certain things..
Shout out to fellow single fabbers! We can do it! |

I have been single for 10 years. No family nor children. I never feel lonely, I love my own space. If I feel I want to be with people, there are lots of people I can pester |

Be grateful what you have as the grass isn't always greener. It can be a much lonelier place in a unhappy relationship/marriage here people feel trapped and unable to escape.

No one forces anyone into a relationship and no one forces anyone to stay in one. Those who choose to stay in one and say they are unhappy want their cake and eat it! |

Agree absolutely!
I had two very lonely long term relationships!
Been much happier in the last five years as a singleton!
I vowed that I won’t have a relationship again unless it’s a good one!
Having said that - I have 3 lovely kids and a fantastic family - and there’ll be 11 of us for Christmas dinner at mine tomorrow!
Huge hugs to those who aren’t that lucky! Xxx |

So everyone was forced into a relationship....and homeless guys had the option to stay in the home where a relationship broke down...I can see a gender perspective coming into play here and I can see the pride of lionesses circling their prey. |

Even though Ive not been in a relationship for 10 years. Having a young son, big wonderful family with 3 sisters who are also my best friends makes me feel lucky.
Merry Christmas to you all |

You make my point for me...choose to stay than accept a bit of hardship. |

I am not alone for Christmas and I'm glad I'm not.. I like my own company and I'm happy in my own company, but I enjoy the social side of Christmas day and I think it's the only day I would like to at least spend some of it with friends and family.
I know may people spend Christmas alone for many many reasons but it always makes me feel a bit sad.. I have friends who I know will be alone at Christmas,because they want to be and I respect that and sometimes they are alone and can't travel or have no-one to pet sit etc. I always set an extra place at the table Christmas day.. And it's always open house if anyone changes their mind... |

Novelty wears off after a bit...particularly if there are extended baron periods. |

agreed "
The grass may not be greener, but are people confusing two different issues of unhappiness in a relationship with the loneliness of not being in one. One issue just devalues the other. |

I'm not going to get in to a debate about this. Just remember, there are occasions where it is not black and white and I am most definitely a black and white person. There are situations whereby you have to call stalemate til an opportunity comes up that is beneficial to all parties. |

I wonder how many of the situations we're advocating are a stalemate because neither party chooses or makes efforts to change anything, or choose to do nothing and just claim to be the victim of a situation? |

"Don't try and reason with cheaters...
They always have their " reasons "
Yawn!
"
If you can't reason with a cheater, it's because one of you is a narcissist! |

As I said I'm not doing the debate thing. I have seen various friends in various situations. Some have a positive outcome, most don't and that is down to being tied to a financial situation. Grey. Not black or white |

I don't disagree with your point. I hate to use the cliché the world is 50 shades of grey....partnership in life stems from survival, not comfort - that's a bonus. Think Maslot's hierarchy of needs. I think the desire to not suffer hardship of any sort clouds people's desire for personal contentment. |

I'd have to agree with him. We do have free will. When I left my husband I had lost 80% of my sight. There was no guarantee it would return.
I could remain "safe and unhappy" or gamble with uncertainty and happiness. I was financially secure to start again without forcing a sale of the marital home. I had to maintain a base for my girls in case everything went tits up.
It didn't, majority of my sight came back and I'm happy.
I recognise it's not easy for everyone to walk away, but the reality is we can! |

You still had a secure home for you and your children then? |

Don't think my ex husband would have taken a blind wife back or my employer keep me on if I were blind. Also don't think Santander would have allowed me to stay in my house if I didn't have a job to pay the mortgage.
My children had a safety net, I didn't. |

Oh dear. Doesn't sound good there.
We've been married nearly 30 years and have never been happier.
Hope you can work through your problems. |
