single for life
Peter John Shields:
Hello Brokies,
I love the romance of Brokeback Mountain, however I feel deep inside that I am a family of one and so have decided to be single for life (I am 39).
I was wondering if anyone else on this forum can relate?
If so how is life going for you?
My decision has been a very concious one and came after a good deal of self reflection (and also a couple of bad relationships!)
I hope people don't feel I have given up on love, I have been in love before and believe in it, however I seem to be better suited to the single life and look forward to the years ahead.
Well better get my cat fed and open my soup for one (haha) :laugh:,
Thanks to all and thanks for reading,
Peter

I am reminded of what Mona Ramsay said in Tales of the City when faced with similar prospects "I think what I really need is five good friends."
There is a lot of pressure in society to be with someone. We often measure or worth against weather or not we are involved with someone. Especially in a group of couples.
I think maybe you can leave the door open, if you don't force your attention on it, who knows what may come your way.

If you're happy then thats all that matters stripey!

What Kelda said. If you're happy, what does it matter?
It took me about two months to realize that all my close friends have moved out of my city and are no longer people I can just meet up with for drinks or movie or to hang out.
So, except for family, I'm all alone in town as well. And as you can tell, this was such a problem for me that I didn't notice for two months. ;D

Hello Stripey,
I agree with what Truman said, regarding the pressure from society to pair up.
I'm single now. I will admit that I don't want to stay single, however, I don't feel like I'm less of a person because I am single. As Kelda said, as long are you are happy, that is all that matters.
