Is anyone divorced OR single and 25+???

Post Reply New Topic

I was just wondering if anyone on here is divorced... I am divorced.
I am going to be 26 this month and I don't have any kids.
I wanted to have a boyfriend but didn't have any luck finding one, and my mum noticed I don't talk about guys like I used to. I don't now if I am content now with being single or what happened. Before I met my ex husband and was probably 20-21, I figured at that time I'd be single forever and never have kids... then met my ex husband and everything changed.

I am single and over 25+...
I imagine a great majority of males here are also...
Is this a poll?

I live in a rural area and not expecting to meet anyone.

I'm 25 years old and I've been single for almost one year now.

A good friend of mine thought she'd met her soulmate at 19, but they were divorced by 21. This was only last year.

I'm divorced and 44. I've been single for five years. I don't work and play well with others.

I'm single now, just got out of a 1,5 year relationship, or trying to, at least.

I broke up with him just a few days ago and we own an apartment together so I'm not quite free of him yet.
The relationship sucked, so I'm very relieved I finally told him I want to end it.
He thinks we can work things out, I know we can't, so he's very reluctant to let go, even though i tell him over and over that NO, it's not something that can be fixed and I'm done with him.... *le sigh*

Before him I was alone for 5-6 years, after I left the man I have a daughter with. We were together for about 2 years. Those are the only serious relationships I've had.

Oh, and I just turned 29.

I'm 27, happily single and planning to stay that way. I tried the relationship thing one time just to say I tried it but it was more annoying than anything. Somehow it lasted nearly 2 years before I broke it off though. I' have also never been interested in sex or having kids.

I am 26. I have been married in the past and i have 2 kids from my marriage. I am not single anymore because I have a boyfriend of over a year. We have even talked of living together in the future.

I don't know, but I used to like the idea of meeting someone and going on dates, but I am so used to "scaring everyone off", that it seems like when someone doesn't run away from me, that I'm not sure how to handle it.

I'm 47 and have been divorced for 17 years, have never had another partner and don't want one. It was dreadful feeling left out when I was younger and no good at socialising, but being married was equally dreadful, although I can't regret my three children, the youngest of whom is 18 now. My assessment is that relationships are too invasive and not worth it. Being in love is a sort of madness that I am pleased not to have any more. Equally mad is the feeling that there is something wrong with you if you don't want a relationship or the feeling that you are missing out on something wonderful.

I relate.

Though I am not an asexual aspie, I given up in seeking dates or a relationship at random. However, I haven't closed my heart to love, I keep an eye out for a woman with special characteristics I believe will be compatible with my A.S. I try to asses women without dating them to avoid any potential negative end result.

Men can be far more forgiving (I believe) of female aspie traits, than women with aspie males. Too bad you live in an isolated area. However, try sparking a correspondence online with males local to you (i.e. around Nova Scotia), and while you chat with them assess their qualities. Just be sure to mention your traits and aspie needs, and be wary of NT men's lies (especially if u share ur pic and u are physically attractive).

Aspies should not give up on love or relationship, because of constant failure. We should not be pessimist, but rather realist; yes, a tolerant a lover will be difficult to find for some of us, but we should not lose hope (or aspie males resort to misogyny), but rather have patience and have a realist approach (strategy).

Argh!! ! I just realized this post is in the Women's Discussion!

Mid 30's, single.

I want a really compatible partner, which is hard to find for someone complicated like me. Most relationships are not better than being single for me. I get stressed by them. I tried that many times, and now I would rather be single, unless it's a really compatible partner.

However, I want to find some good "friends with benefits" or dating situation(s), so I am not completely alone and lonely. The difference is I would date without us getting closer and having a relationship. I don't want it to be just casual. Something in between.

early 30s.
Never married and have no children. I was with a man for 3 years and we were close to getting married. He was in the US Navy.

I'm middle-aged, divorced, single mom. I was content for 10yrs. then I decided last year to look for someone after I found out I had AS which meant I wasn't so alone after all. I'm in a relationship with someone now who has similar characteristics and they don't even mind that I have no response to most endearments.
