I see so many beautiful people, inside and out, who are single, lonely and unhappy. By the same token, I see a lot of folks who are involved with someone who are equally unhappy.

If you are single, don't carry it around like a burden. Embrace it. Get to know who you really are. Grow, learn, experience. Take steps to make yourself a more interesting, desirable, vital human being so that when you do find someone your are more grounded and confident partner.

If you are involved with someone, embrace it. Know from the start things are not always going to be blissful. Instead of using deceit, games, manipulation or control to get the things you need from your partner, learn healthy ways to resolve your differences so that you both can maintain your dignity and respect for one another.

To me, this is not rocket science and I just don't get why so many folks....just don't get it.

Beckie, love the new pic..

(((Robin))) for some that is hard, the grass is always greener, I have it worse than anyone, loads of different things come into play... I've been single for a while and I don't mind it at all, so many pluses to it... If I met a special person great, but don't look for it, ask for it or need it, that'd just be strawberries on the cake... flowerforyou

Education , Life experiences growing up ,Peer pressure ,the choice of people a person chooses for so called friends .Alot of reasons.


Perhaps, but I would think at some point you figure out what you're doing just isn't working and change it. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is rather counter productive.

IMO, this is the key. Far too many people never take personal inventory. They have no idea who they are, why they are single or how others see them.

When they look in the mirror they are not seeing what we all see. Then they delude themselves into believing little or no fault, with failed relationships, lies with them.

They'd have to realize the problem lay with them though, in order to fix yourself, you have to realize you need fixing. And so many people are more comfortable blaming others than examining themselves.

I agree but for so many the damage is already done mentally or physically.Freinds can have undue influence on relationships ,Life lessons are hard to overcome ,Ive experienced it so I know.I wish it could be otherwise but unfortunately in this day and age divorce is to easy and that is usually the choice for alot of people instead of makeing the choice to discover and fix whats wrong .We are talking an otherwise normal relationship here not abusive or otherwise deviant !

((Joy)) Yep, I get that, but you'd think after a while folks would see all those things are burdens, not stepping stones.

I hope to meet someone special too, but....I've always said there are far more worse things to be than single.

I'm sorry for the pain you've had. Not all of us were divorced. I did have a successful marriage. Divorce is the easy way out and some use it as such. For others, the decision to do so, I would imagine, was an extremely difficult and painful one.
