Re: Relationship confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I've never been in a romantic or sexual relationship of any sort and have no desire to be in one. I feel like there's something wrong with me.

Re: Relationship confessions

[(Anonymous)]

Are you happy? Then there's nothing wrong with you. :) Partnering up may be a societal expectation, but you're far from alone.

Re: Relationship confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say I'm happy, but the reasons for my unhappiness have nothing to do with my relationship status. I'd say I'm satisfied and content with being single forever and ever.

And that should be enough! I know that what you're saying is 100% true, except I can't shake the feeling that not wanting a girlfriend/wife/etc. means I've somehow malfunctioned as a human being.

That feeling is probably due to societal conditioning. Bleh.

Re: Relationship confessions

I would agree it's likely societal conditioning. Terms like "spinster", "confirmed bachelor", "eccentric", and "crazy cat lady" only strengthen the thought that there is something "wrong" with (especially a woman) not wanting to be in a romantic relationship.

As someone who was in romantic relationships from a very early age until her mid-thirties and is now quite happy being single, you do you, OP. Wish I'd realized that about myself earlier. :)

Re: Relationship confessions

I get that. I've never had a relationship before, or sex. And while I can't say I'm completely sure I don't want one, I do know I'm alright not having one. Does that make sense?

Like you I'm not completely satisfied with my life, but it's because of other things. I'm looking for a job, I'd like a nice place of my own, things like that. But I can totally imagine a life where I never have a relationship and I'd be fine with that. For one thing, I'm used to it.

One reason I would like to at least try a relationship/sex is because everyone else makes such a big deal of it. I want to see what it's like. Maybe also to get people to shut up, because it would prove I can get those things, I just don't need them. Now, people always seem sad at me.
