I am. Girl Wonder and I are no more.
Sorry to hear that bud. Nope, I actually just got married. I guess I shouldn’t have opened this thread then huh?
'nuff said.

Better to have loved and lost…
I’m a wild and single guy.
Single and loving it!
If I remember right, Girl Wonder was married to someone else right? What happened?
I liked being single when I was single. I like being married now that I’m married.
Actually, that was the problem. She got a little overly-confident, and my phone number showed up on his cell phone bill.
and?..
Did her hubby make her make a choice between him and you? If it is too painful to talk about, just say so and I’ll shut up.
Superdude, if you come to Bamadope, I’ll make you feel better. And I’m sure bobkitty will do the same.
All messing around aside, I’m sorry that you’re hurting right now and you are in my thoughts.
That totally blows. But in a situation like that, you may be better off.
:shrugs:
Anyway, I’ve been single for a real long time (after ending a 2 year relationship) and I think I’m happier, at least more often than not. Feel better.
Sorry to hear about it.
Personally, I’m single and not really enjoying it, although I’s rather be alone than in a relationship where I’m not happy.
I’m the only single person living in my subdivison; I’m literally at the end of a cul-de-sac that doubles as a playground, in a comfy suburb of Orlando that’s far from the sphere of influence of the Mouse, far from the concentration of young professinals in the apartment complexes along the northern I-4 corridor – I’ve been officially declared GU by several single women. Fortunately, my neighbors like me and look out for me, and they don’t think I’m some sort of strange child molestor. However, I feel as if I’m beginning to get used to the idea of possibly being alone my whole life, and I really shouldn’t be. The house I used to live in used to hold a family of five; now, it’s just me and the dog with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a third of an acre. I mow and edge the lawn, shock the pool, run errands at the the nearby plaza, and make sure the sprinkler is set so I’m not violating any water restrictions. I gave out tons of candy on Halloween, and I just installed low voltage lighting by the front door. I got excited when I bought a gas-powered Ryobi lawn trimmer – the one where you can snap off the edger, and snap on the string trimmer. I’m turning into Suburban Guy, only without Suburban Gal.
The Jehova’s Witnesses and Mormons and non-denominational evalgelical Christians that knock on my door every few days always ask if my wife is home, too --I didn’t get that from those witnessing when I was living in a trendy, up-and-coming Denver neighborhood. It really feels strange.
“The house I used to live in” = “The house I live in”. Another brain fart. Poot.
Poor dear -hugs tightly- I’m single myself… but as I have never been in a relationship I don’t really know what I’m missing. I feel I am reasonably but am wondering what I am missing (and yes I know there is bad as well as good). Ah well… it shall come with time. Hopefully.
Obviously I’m not single, but I opened the thread anyway 'cause I had a sneaking suspicion of what it contained.
{{{{{hugs}}}}}, luv. It may not have been the most conventional of pairings, or the most convenient, but she made you happy and that was enough for me. I’m sorry it didn’t work out the way you- either of you- wanted it to.
You know where to find me if you need to talk.

Don’t hate being single!! Love it! Eat it and drink it and breathe it! Revel in it. Being single is great. Absolute and total freedom. Sure, you might crave a relationship, but how long will it last before you hate that person’s guts? I was ssssoooooooo happy when my first husband finally moved out. That was the greatest time of my life.
I don’t hate being single at all. Do I want to find someone to date? Yes. Why don’t I? Because that would mean breaking down these damn walls I’ve worked so many years to build. But there’s someone who’s slowly breaking through, whether I want him to or not. And whether I admit it to him or not.
Ah, being single kicks ass! I’ve just spent some time with someone who I am sortakindamaybeohIdon’tknowIgottathinkaboutit considering spending more time with, and one of my biggest problems with even contemplating a relationship is that it requires giving up so much of the freedom I have right now. I’ve gotten over that insecurity and feeling like I’m inadequate by myself. I can do what I want, go where I want, sleep with who I want (within reason), etc. etc.
Superdude, I know you’re hurting right now, and I know how much going through that sucks, but think about this: maybe, just maybe, the next girl you meet will be someone who can be with you and only you. You deserve that much. In the meantime, learn to enjoy your own company as much as others enjoy it. You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggoneit, people like you!
Enjoying solitude too much. Still socialize, but the freedom is priceless. When I visit paired or married friends, they don’t seem that happy. I think many are just into an economic situation.
single=sucks.
I’ve ALWAYS been single-23 and never been kissed-what am, I chopped liver?
Sorry to hear that Superdude.
