As a single woman my life is no longer worth living

[ForeverLonely82]

As a married man, mine isn't worth living either. Single or married. this time line is hell as people are demons, no one gives a damn about the lonely or depressed. expect to go through it alone and never experience the joy or happiness the lucky get to achieve. Those people reach out and get the help needed. the rest of us are in our heads too much just wishing for the mercy to be erased from this hell hole of a existence.

I'm not sure if I can help with this or not but as someone who gave up a long term positive relationship in order to become a hermit, completely isolated from everyone, my view of loneliness is somewhat different. I'm not sure if I will remain alone forever or not, but I know that I only want to change it if the relationship is better than the alternative of being alone, and I don't believe most relationships I've seen are. The fantasy version is really not far off what I had. But she wanted kids and I didn't. Where can it go from there? Most relationships I know, they're fighting constantly. I'd definitely rather be alone than that. I don't really know many relationships like the fairy tales.

I wish I had the strength and energy to turn into a hermit. I'm still married to an alcoholic and the things he says and does make me wish to be single. Today he stood me up on our anniversary to go get hammered instead. At least we've always agreed to not having children! But, being in a relationship isn't always what's best for a person. I loved living by myself and if I could afford to I would. Other than death, it would be the most peacefulness I could have in this world.

Completely understand this. It resonates with me so much. Most of my relationships ended because I don't want kids and the people around me are in far far different relationships than what fairy tales like to portray

ironically you won't find the solid match of you don't date meaning you'd have to be in a relationship to find out.

I should have explained better. Previously I'd take more risks and hope for the best when getting into romantic entanglements. I'd have to be more certain of potential now.

Experience has made me choosier, and realise I'd rather be single than in a bad/mediocre pairing.
