tell'em ya got an 8ball, a couple of hundred bucks & you're ready to party?!?

I was single for most of my adult life. I stayed busy with work, family, hobbies, church, etc. When I was finally at peace with a lifetime of singleness, I met my SO.

Fine. I get it.

I’ve met some great people on here. Apparently my hurdle in life is too much of an issue to discuss on here, an open forum. This place has been uplifting at times. Jim was right, 2 weeks. I should have known. No reason for me to continue spewing word vomit on here, essentially annoying the same folks over and over again.

Some posters start too many threads, some have a schtick, some are a joke altogether. I’m authentic, genuine, the real deal. But it’s not welcome here anymore. I get it. It’s not welcome much anywhere anymore, not sure why this place should be any different.

It’s clear I’ve crossed any boundaries there may be on this forum. I’d do an upvote/downvote to ask for what I should do on here, but I know the answer at this point.

Bye.

I’m married but would be perfectly fine being “alone” … I would still need to date women though

Single folks: how are you content being alone?

Sitting alone is better than being with the wrong person. You've got some work to do on and with yourself. I don't say this in a negative way either. Eventually you will find that your future is no longer dictated by your past, no more than a ship is guided by its wake.

Let go of the outcome and just try to be a better person. Take small baby steps, every day.

Fact is, there’s plenty of people like me. It’s a cruel world when being honest and open gets you negative responses, be it here or in the dating world. That’s why I sometimes think it would be easier if I just took matters into my own hands and ended things

---

That wouldn’t make anything easier for anybody and that is the last thing you should ever talk about. Always keep in mind. No matter how bad you think you have it, somebody has it much worse.

Never married

Came to terms with it some time ago. My life choices are the reasons I am in my current position. No point in crying over spilled milk.

---

if you feel comfortable expanding on that- what life choices led you to this?

And it's not a bad thing, if you're happy with it. I was just curious what you meant.

It's stress free and i have a good imagination so palmella makes me plenty happy. Having to hear bitching and nagging from 30+ exes over the past 25 years has helped get me here.

let me ask my side slam piece and get back to you.

What an odd reply. People are giving you harsh but true advice to help with your problem.

Advice, no matter how harsh, is welcome and needed.

How did that jump to TD not liking you or wanting you gone?

It’s clear I’ve stepped on the toes of some of our more prominent posters. Some would rather skip the advice and waltz into a thread they don’t like, just to slam the OP. I guess that’s how you fluff your post count, who knows?
