Is it ok to never have a girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

I'm 40 I've never had a girlfriend. All the relationships I've seen in my life, my parents, sister, other people they all hate being with someone after a while. My parents fought all the time. They hate each other and they fought over the best way to raise me. I look at all the people around me and they aren't happy. I never wanted kids so they didn't have to go through the things I did. I never had a relationship because it's looks way too stressful to me. Yes there's sex but you can get that other ways. I am embarrassed by never having one but I don't see any happiness in having one.

If you are happy being a loner, then it is OK. If not, what the hell have you been doing for all these years. It would raise some red flags.

I hope so because after experiencing having one four times I decided to return my relationship card

It's your life. Do what you please. Are you happy alone?

No but I don't think going through all the stress everyday would make me happy either.

So you can keep on keeping on and look back after another twenty-five unhappy years alone and think "Is that all there is?" Or you might get counseling and try to change your life.

I'm in counseling. It's hard to trust anyone given my life situation.

Congratulations for taking action. I wish you the best.

As a relationship coach, I'm here to say that it's absolutely okay to never have a girlfriend if that's what feels right for you. Relationships should add happiness, not stress. You've got the right perspective—your happiness comes first! If you’re content, that’s what matters. Embrace your unique path, and don’t worry about societal expectations. You can experience love and companionship in many forms, not just romantic ones. You do you, superstar! 😊 Keep rocking your life your way!🌟

Won't surprise me if you are also this as well and it's just another enraging reminder
