Here’s my story: 42, F, no kids, never married. Been a very long time since I was in a serious relationship, but I’ve been casually dating for a while. Everyone in my life (with the exception of 1 person who is Ace and not interested in any type of romantic or sexual relationships with anybody), has their someone. Either a husband or wife, or a BF or GF that is pretty much looked at as a spouse bc they’ve been together so long, or at the very least, is in a LTR and living with their partner.
Except me. I’m just here, by myself, alone.
Yes, I have amazing friends and family I talk to every day, but when it comes down to it, I’m going through all of this by myself. Nobody to pass the time with, nobody to talk with, nobody to hug, nobody to make this better just by being here, nobody to have meals with or binge crappy TV with or argue with bc we’re sick of being stuck in this small apartment together.
I’m alone, but I’m also lonely. I’m sad, I’m pissed off, I’m scared, and I’m tired of carrying every burden on my own bc I don’t have someone to help share that load with.
In all fairness, I feel this way whenever I think about my single status, but usually I can rally fairly quickly. But having to deal with all that while also feeling like any chances to meet someone new (friend or romance, doesn’t matter) is gone, is so much harder than I imagined it would be.
I’ve been on meds for severe depression and anxiety for 20 years, and normally they work fantastic. But my meds are no match for this now, and the depression is creeping in.
So, please, other single people out there, tell me how you’re feeling and how you’re handling all of this.
