Posted: 8/28/2007 6:18:32 PM | is it better to sleep alone or be in a relationship and feel alone
^^^ rather sleep alone in this case^^
i been single for 10 years, i got use to it but only the last 6 months, I am really having a hard time coping with being alone. one day at a time for me, I dont like being alone. I miss someone holding me at night and waking up to someone next to me...falling alseep with my head on his chest hearing him breath....sigh! but i do like my bed..spread out...roll over...and i get a good nights rest...and sometimes i cry myself to sleep.
 to you all!
accepting applications, for a snuggle buddy...hahahaha!!! (snuggling only) | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 6:30:59 PM | | It's real easy, I crawl onto bed knowing there isn't anyone who is going ot **** because I took all the covers, or don't have ot worry about being quiet in the mornings when I get up. And since the last mistake it is nice to be able to turn a light on to get dressed. All in all, I have no problem sleeping alone | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 6:52:00 PM | | You get used to it after many, many, many years....hmmm never even lived with anyone other than my daughter we are talking decades. At first it is like a bottle of water after a long day in the desert, he hogs the bed steals the covers and snores all night, the next day your totally bagged too tired to smile but your heart feels warm. I am sure there are plenty of solutions if your living together, and have asked others many solutions. If there is a will there is a way. Once in awhile it is a small price to pay for the inconvenience and later on you may yearn for that inconvenience. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 7:28:36 PM | A friend of mine just moved to the Carolinas. She's having a hard time adjusting, and is desperately homesick. She IM'ed me the other night saying she wished I would come down to visit so she'd have someone to snuggle with (We dated briefly, maybe 2 weeks, she said I just didn't give her butterflies)....I'm not quite so batshit crazy as to seriously consider driving 1300 miles round trip just for a snuggle (or am I?), and I respect her too much to take advantage because she's lonely and vulnerable right now....But I sure could I use a snuggle, too. lol.   | |

Honey, I know how you feel. But it isn't just the sleeping alone I hate. I hate coming home to myself, eating by myself, facing problems and good times by myself. I don't mind my "ME" time, and I don't mind having my bed to myself sometimes, but all the time it gets to be too much! I don't have someone to share my life with and after being married twice for a combined total of 20 years, being alone takes ALOT of getting used to. Extra pillows don't help, I killed BOB a long time ago and his two replacements and it just isn't the same as being held and caressed and cared for. Sex is great but it is the intimacy of being a couple that I miss. I miss walking the dogs, sitting in bed reading the Sunday paper, cooking dinner together, going camping, or on vacation, talking about our future, gardening, fixing up the house, going grocery shopping - the simple everyday things. There are some things better done alone, but life is not one of them. I feel your pain because I share it. We as humans are not meant to be alone.
I agree with you Sunnshyne on most of this. I am alone too after leaving an abusive marriage of 25 years, this past October. I am better off without him and would never go back. I didn't really have any of those things you did, and I sure don't miss sleeping with him. But it would sure be nice to have someone who actually cared about me to cuddle and "spoon" with, sleeping alone sucks. And someone to come home to, do things with, eat with, etc. As you said being alone all the time gets to be too much! | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 9:14:49 PM | well, its 3 weeks thursday that my ex broke it off with me, after close to 3 years, i'm still sleeping on my own side of the bed...Its still odd... at her parents house she wouldn't let me sleep alone. I had to sleep in her small bed and wake up at 4:30am every morning to go back to my own bed.. im just so used to her being there, it makes it hard. Made me sleep easier every night knowing that I was "protecting" her so to speak. almost 3 years and whenever we were together at night she fell asleep in my arms...
it sucks
the only time i know i'll get over it? - Find the next person I can do that with. 
maybe get a smaller bed for a while? | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 7:58:14 AM | | ^^^^^^^being used to it does not make it feel like less space in the bed. I also have huge a Gund Pooh bear who is looking a bit rugged these days from being squeezed around the neck. | |

Posted: 8/29/2007 1:44:14 PM | I am used to sleeping alone.... I have about six pillows on my bed and one I recently named Gerard Butler..lol its my cuddle pillow...(clears throat) totally off the subject..lololol
But yes nothing better than having someone cuddle with you on rainy nights or feel thier breathe on the back of your neck or feel them spoon you and snuggle against you...ahhhh that is the best....
ONEDAY!!!

Posted: 8/29/2007 9:43:22 PM | | For many years my clinic took care of a wonderful gentleman always accompanied by his wife who had cared for him at home for many years. Sadly he passed away from complications of his spinal cord injury. His wife had bcome so well aquainted with all staff and other patients and families, that she became a very valuable volunteer in our program. At about a year of his passing, she and I were having lunch; I asked how her adjustment was going after 40 years together. She replied: "Well I'm finally driving so I don;t get lost, I've gotten used to paying the bills, I've gotten used to cooking for myself, I've gotten used to going everywhere by myself, but I have never gotten used to the cold side of the bed......" | |
