I’ve been a bachelor for 5 years now. With long periods of being single prior as well.
I am happier and healthier when I’m not in a long-term relationship. Even in the most kind relationships, I slowly become depressed, self destructive, and unhappy. I’ve never been able to discern why, but what I have discerned is when I fly solo I am more myself than ever.
When I think I miss having a partner, after taking a moment to reflect and be honest with myself, I realize I mostly just miss the more reliable access to sex-- which isn’t a good nor fair reason to pursue a relationship. This reflection also solidifies my conclusion that I have no business being involved with someone in a romantic manner.
Feel free to ask me questions.
Yes.
