Hey all, hope everyone is doing well.
I’m curious if anyone out there has made a conscious decision to not date or be in a relationship anymore.
If so, what was your rationale? Do you feel it was the right decision? If you’re currently considering it, why?
Never as a permanent intention, but yes. It took me until age 30ish to realize I’d never really learned to feel whole without a partner, so after that I intentionally took time between relationships to practice being a whole, yet single person.
That’s fair and understandable. When we’re young, we aren’t as smart or emotionally mature as we think we are.
Once we have that realization, I think life looks a little different.
I think your approach makes a lot of sense. Finding solace in solitude can be a powerful thing.
Thanks for the response and I’m super happy you found what worked for you!!
