I've never posted on here before, thought I might share something. I'm now closer to 40 than 30 and it's been different lately. I've spent the last couple of years predominantly single, not completely by choice but that's the way it worked out. Lately I've stopped trying to initiate any contact with the opposite of sex in the hopes of engaging in a relationship or any type of sexual relationship. I've found myself being pretty fucking happy with no thought or pressure from another girlfriend. I have friends that have gotten divorced or broken up with longterm partners and they jumped back into relationships because they don't think they can survive without someone else in there world; maybe they are afraid of dying alone. Is anyone else in my shoes or am I the stranger one who isn't afraid of being alone?

I think this fear on the part of people to be alone is a little because of the pressure that society imposes that everyone needs to have a relationship and start a family, which is not bad, but I think it shouldn't be a rule. I don't see any problem with being alone, that doesn't mean it's bad or sad. Many people are married or dating but are unhappy, but are with someone just for social status. I think that life goes by too fast to get attached to these things. We have to be happy with or without someone with us.
