Wanting Relationship Grief
Find a Conversation

Ok, tell me if anyone else has this problem: you mention how you'd like to find a good man and get into a serious relationship and what you get back is how being single is better, how you need to be happy with yourself first, how being in a relationship shouldn't define you, how everyone else is single and happy and basically a million and one reasons why you wanting a great relationship makes you lame and how you should focus on other things.
That is all I get. Its to the point where I can't talk about it with anyone anymore for fear that they will judge me as weak and lacking. Apparently, I should be happy single and forget about it. Easy said than done.
Since when has it become so unpopular to want love? Why has it gone out of style? Are we suppose to be so independent these days that desiring love and affection makes you an automatic loser?

That is really all.
And i will repeat once again: i PERSONALLY do not understand and will never understand how a single life for a woman of my age (36) can ever be *fabulous*, *complete*, *fulfilling* or whatever you want to call it. And i just DONT believe women my age who say it can. This is my firm personal opinion based on long years of experience which i will not change no matter how many *i totally disagree* replies i will get to this one.

'..single life was never, is NOT, and will never be for me.'. Couldn't have said it better myself. That kind of sums up perfectly the way I feel about the subject. I was half-dead when single (despite friends, famly, work, drinks, meals out and various other distractions) and came alive when I met my bf. End of story.
Thank goodness everyone doesn't live life the same way, how boring life would be.
Well I will continue to take people at their word and not assume they are lying just because they don't agree with me. There are many different people in the world with different lifestyles, different experiences, different childhoods, different goals that shape their future and just because they aren't MY goals doesn't make them wrong. Not every woman and every man's goals are the same.

And because you don't understand it, it can't be so.
Riiiiiight.

Then please do clarify what you meant by the above?
You're saying either that women who say it can are liars or that because you don't believe it, it can't be so.
Which is it?
