I'm trying to rediscover myself after a few years of being unattached. The introvert part for me did develop. I was a very outgoing person in my younger years, something I lost along the way in being unattached for so long. | |

Are married people wierder, they stay in a relationship struggling through fights more than any single person can have in a lifetime as a single person, does that make them wierd? Who know. They say that we are fortunate to be alive and experiencing all this, now this is wierd. | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/12/2009 11:29:15 PM | I have been for the most part single for the past few years. I have a healthy sex life, and I enjoy the company of different girls from time to time. I have honestly seen a change in the way I interact with women the longer I've been single. I find it more difficult to overlook certain flaws that wouldn't have bugged me much before. Whether or not that is from me being single, or me just growing up is debatable, but I believe it has a little of both.
Am I different? Oh yeah. But I look at people that jump from relationship to relationship and I just don't get it. I can't understand why people feel compelled to be in that situation all the time. I'm in a budding relationship right now, and its somewhat difficult to get used to her wanting to talk everyday. Trying to make plans everyday. I've become used to that space I've had. I like my time alone. Its just different, but compromise is the key so I'm going to have to work at making more of an effort to be sensitive to her needs. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 11:51:08 PM | | When you are single for a long time you get used to your own life and your own space and its a bit harder to mesh it with someone else especially if you are older. I was just thinking yesterday how much of a process it would be to live with someone else right now, like it will take time. I get peeved when people visit my place and use my stuff LOL! | |

| Single... does it equal weird? Posted: 10/13/2009 6:38:30 AM | I recently allowed a male friend having some troubled times stay at my place with my son and I for a week while the guy regrouped internally.
It was amusing as Hell to see the two of us quickly fall into a pattern of behaviors...
Realize this is in MY home, where I have lived the single life for 12 years now...without co-tenants other than my sons.
At one point I stopped what I was doing (housework) to turn the stereo on for some mood music while I was cleaning.
He - was sitting in my over stuffed chair with his feet on my coffee table reading.
He said "Don't turn that on now"
I stopped in mid motion, turned around,****d an eyebrow and looked at him with a clear question of "what the fek?!"
And he said "Well, what are you doing?"
I replied I was wanting some music while I mopped in the kitchen so I was turning on MY stereo.
He shrugged and said "OK, I thought you were turning on soap operas and I hate that shyt, so I wasn't in the mood for that now"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my point? I play my music when I want, as loud as I want, and if it's Donny Osmond's Greatest Hits from 1971 then FEK you.
(Not that it was!)
So yeah, I guess the longer you're single the more you take your freedom to do whatever you want to as an assured and constant state of being. To have someone else tell me, in my home, not to turn on music while I am cleaning?
So not cool.
But a deal breaker in a relationship? Hell I don't know. It's been 10 years since I was in one. I'm not even sure any more how to think about having one every day of the week - it boggles my mind to contemplate it.
Guessing that I am totally weird.

I always thought people that were single for a long period of time were a little "out there". .....My ex husband always wanted the 'little farm' away from suburbia and avoiding competion with 'the ''''jones's next door"". So here we are 25 years on..... he's competing with the neighbours...Has a 4 wheel drive sitting in the garage which he can't afford to run, and nobody want's to buy it because of the cost of fuel. Me? I have my chicken's and grow my own vegies. I also drive a 1.3ltr car. Wierd? No SMART? Yes.

Just because you're single, doesn't mean you're lonely and doesn't mean you're not getting any...
It just means that you're not in a dead-end relationship, that's all....  | |

A typical assumption of spinsters that like cats.  | |
