Could you live without love?

September 4, 2008 4:01am CST
I've been single for eight years and I find that I no longer pine for a soul mate. I feel quite content to go about my daily routines and not wish for romance. Of course, if it finds me and I like who she is then I'm open for a relationship. I just don't feel that it's a requisite of life. I've kind of fallen into the 'therapist for friends' category and quite like helping others out by listening and giving advice when asked. What about you guys and gals?

I find it very difficult for anyone to live without someone. I do not like being alone. People always have a need for other people, and people always have a need that needs to be satisfied. You think that you can live your whole life without love, but you soon come to find that it is not so easy. I was alone for a while, and I dated a lot too, but I really did want someone, even when I had completely given up, I still had the yearning. I really hated being alone.

ive been single for a bit over 5 years now. i dont pine for a mate, rather given up on that lol. but i am not really content with being alone either. every relationship ends badly, at least so far. of the last 2 relationships, one ended horribly and very painfully, the other ended with a complete sense of "i dont care anymore". expected it to end the way it did for a while, and i was right. but i have a ppl to take care of now, family who need me, i am alone as far as a boyfriend goes and friends too for that matter, but i do have family around me.

There are really people out there who are made to be single for life. And yet they are celebrating their life alone. No sadness nor bitterness. Pure happiness & contentment. I am married now and happy the way my relationship with my husband is going. If ever I am single, I will still enjoy it.
