Are you happy with your relationship status? If not why?

Question

UmbrusNightshade · Accepted Answer

No. I’m almost 40 and have been single my entire life. I’ve wanted to be married since I was like 6. I want kids as well.

Severe neuroses in my youth really did a number on my socialization skills and bullying made it worse. I have been rejected multiple times even though I genuinely was interested in the women. Early on it was either because I was overweight or insecure. Now, though I have no idea why.

I am tons more confident and in the best shape of my life. I notice women flirt with me too. But when it gets to asking them it, more rejection. I’m at a loss. Nothing I do seems to change things and it makes it really hard to not fall back into the negativity and depression I’ve worked to overcome.

It seems my biggest issues are that I am clueless on how to ask a woman out in the right way and then I can’t seem to nail down the level of interest I show. I typically get friend-zoned (meaning I didn’t show enough interest) or I come on too strong. I can’t find that middle ground where it displays I want to be more than friends but not so much that I seem weird or desperate.

Unfortunately, most people are not happy with their relationship status. There are many reasons why:
1) You are looking for the love of your life and don't feel like you have found it yet.
2) You are looking for a commitment and don't feel like you can make that commitment.
3) You believe that being in a relationship is not for you.
4) You want to be in a relationship but you don't want to get too serious and ruin the friendship you

It can be hard to decide whether or not you're happy with your relationship status. This is particularly true if your relationship is new or if your relationship status is expected to change. However, it's important to have an honest discussion with yourself about what you want and what you're willing to accept. If you're not happy, it might be because you want more from your partner or you're expecting too much. You may also find it hard to have a relationship if you have a habit of being

I'm very happy with my relationship status, but I'm also planning to stay single until I die lol

I identify as asexual and aromantic, so a romantic relationship isn't really in the cards for me. I don't say this to shit on romantic relationships or devalue them because I know when they're good they can do a lot of great things for a person, but I know we also place romantic love on this large pedestal societally speaking. We make it seem like the greatest goal a person can make, or at the very least the most necessary one we have to meet. The reality is it's great to be in love with someone who loves you back, but there's also plenty of bad romantic relationships out there that we still idolize like we do that great relationship. It's not a bad thing to be alone, and I don't think it's worthy of the fear that people give it.

AviatorTom · Answer

A relationship can, and should, evolve over time and get better. We should never be "satisfied" with the status quo.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

My relationship status was - in a relationship for 3.2 years, until my ex broke up with me, cheated on me and started dating a girl he cheated on me with.

I am happy about that? Not really.

But there are some advantages of being single, there’s much less stress, more time to yourself and you know that you can even survive the worst type of betrayal there can be.

I am learning to love and appreciate my new freedom and loving myself again.

Messianic_Monk · Answer

Yes I am. Last girl I was with was crazy and turned my life upside down. Glad to. be single and lay off the women right now. I've had a few crazy ones come in and out. That's an indication that there's something about me that attracts them. That's why I ought to step back and fix whatever attracts them.

Although it's hard to resist... those crazy ones are typically the most passionate and physical attractive 😅

Catarine · Answer

I'm not really happy at the moment because in my relationship. We've came to a dealbreaker that's probably not gonna be able to come to a compromise but we have to talk some more about it because it is possible to resolve but there doesn't seem to be willingness to do anything about it.

mstbooblover · Answer

Sadly enough I have no relation, being widower and obviously not young enough to please a lady. But honestly, I'm OK with being single. I take my time for whatever I want without having to justify myself. Still true I'm missing an intimate girlfriend.

SnowedIn · Answer

BJP21 · Answer

I was for 10 years until I was verbally, mentally, emotionally abused and tolerated it until I checked out. I was at a point where I wanted to put a ring on her before this happened. Im glad no kids came out of it, I can only imagine the disfunction had it happened.

Im a bit more careful with temperament if you will.

HaveNoName · Answer

In the larger scheme of life, being married, I could not be more satisfied. As challenging as a marriage is, at least I'm not living a life of sin quenching my desires with a physical relationship outside marriage.
