Not wanting a romantic relationship is quite liberating for me, i dont think its necessary to have a mate to be happy you can be happy focusing on other things instead.
Yea I do in a very weird way feel like some fraction of a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
It is sort of sad atm. But i believe that with time (soon enough) I won’t be bothered that slight bit anymore as I learn to, like you said, focus on the rest of my life. And realise that I don’t need ‘another half’ or boyfriend as I had believed for so long.
That’s just me though. I understand that others can function well in relationships of that kind so fair play.
I decided years ago that I am a confirmed Bachelor. Like yourself, I wasn’t designed to function in a relationship.
Maybe at one time, but not anymore.
There is a freedom to it, not feeling that there is another half missing because there is not. It is simply me, doing the very best I can with what I’ve got
