“Single” Multiple Years, Ask me Anything

For most of growing up I was pressured into romance by my peers, so for around ten years I was consistently involved in romantic endeavours with multiple people. It was, however, hardly serious growing up. After one of my first serious relationships ended badly around four years ago I stopped being in relationships entirely. I did eventually try to date but it ended soon after it began and I simply stopped as I am busy doing other things with my time. So after being involved in romance most of my life I am now learning about what life is like just being with myself. I don’t like the word “single” as it doesn’t really fit what I am? It implies that something is missing, and there isn’t. Feel free to discuss and to ask any questions about my experience or anything else.

So I guess the post is related to “anti-relationship stress.”

Yes I would be interested to discuss just thought processes and things like that that relate to being single and okay. I do feel my life is incomplete without a partner, I am not, but I feel like my life is. I am currently in a relationship that is in distress and I wonder sometimes how much of my feeling that my life is incomplete without a partner effects my decisions and a relationship as far as staying in it despite it's problems.
