[Spirit of Light]

For the first time in my adult life i am satisfied with being single, i have all i need in my life right now actually i feel fully free.

No more seeking for "the one"

Lets live by what life provide and be happy

I am also single. I simply do not have room in my life for committed relationships.

It is not that I am opposed to them, but I find a deeper meaning in pursuing the greater good as best I can. They would always have to come second to that and I do not think that would be fair to them.

I am happy for you

For me, I have gained so many new friends this year, so I am mostly never alone, but the wish or mostly craving to find a partner in life has disapeared finding the answer to who I am, made me so much more confidant in being alone is good

If a woman comes along in a natural way, she is welcome in to my life, but if it does not happen its ok too.

I think that is a healthy way to be. Congratulations, I hope that your newfound confidence and self-compassion never stop being a source of contentment for you.

If I knew I was called to be single, I would love it, but I'm in love with a girl, made HUGE sacrifices for her, because I received signs I was called to matrimony with her, and it freaked her out, so she ran away, and now I don't know what to do.

If I knew celibacy was my calling, I would love it . To be in confusion over the issue bothers me very much!

I'm happy for you though.

The confusion is a pain for our thoughts, I have been there too.

For me it helped to accept that maybe the reason i seem to be unable to "find the right one" just means I am not ready yet.

That's great! I am single too, and thriving.

I, and I imagine many, have fallen into the indoctrination of the need to have a mate in life. I spent early life in this pursuit, found a mate, had a child, divorced, and still in need to fulfill this indoctrination, sought another to fill the wife/mother role, failed again, repeated the mistake, and ultimately learned that I suck at relationships single life can be quite liberating.

I did not know you were ever married.

That's what happened to me, the natural way. I was not looking for a boyfriend let alone a husband. My mother brought him to me and the reason why is a long story. Then three weeks after we met we got married. That was about 37 years ago. Needless to say, it has had its ups and downs. He does not do much, never did much, and this has worsened over the years, so I may as well be single. He does not even listen to me when I talk. And you wonder why I am yakking on this forum so much?

If I ever get married again I am going to marry a handyman/landscaper.

Never been married some years ago I was engaged, but I had a few girlfrinds,.
Today I found the calmness within, and know that right now, being single is the best time of my life

I don't need to have a mate in my life. I do have a mate in my life, but that is because the love is there and I have no desire to do anything else. So, being "equivalent to" married is the right place for me.

Trying to be "married" to someone for whom you do not have that love would not be good for either of you, so better not pretend.

The real thing, in my view, is to listen to your heart, and be where it says you ought to be. Stop trying to have a mate because "you are supposed to." But do indeed have one when you really want to.

You're gonna be married within the year then. (That's how these changes work, don't blame me.)

As soon as you stop looking, it will fall in your lap.

Marriage, relationships, family, kids ... they're all unimportant to me. I'm happy being alone. No responsibility, no emotional bondage. :=)
