Who DOESN'T want a partner?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a teenager now and I must say that right now I don't want a partner. I have more things to focus on now...priority one, my mental AND physical wellbeing.
I know that conciously I don't want to get married, have kids, deal with the "in-laws" etc when I am older. Since of my past though, I am not sure if I can trust that thought, or if it is a symptom of my PTSD.

By the way...deep-techno,

I think if this is what you want to do, then it is a valid decision. Your thoughts regarding intimate relationships may change though, just like mine might change.
You can't predict your thoughts for the future...

I don't want to want a partner, but I have no say in it.

I had the idea that I would be unmarried and childless all my life when I was around 9-10 years old, I even had a girlfriend at the time(She came after me). I told my parents that, and they basically said what yours did, to keep an open mind about it. So, this may sound stupid, I kind of turned the whole social man goes after woman game around. I've decided that I won't go after women, they'll have to come after me. So far no takers, and I'm keeping an open mind about it.

At 16 I had some kind of an emotional break down and actually went after a girl, and got her. But that didn't work out so well and I was single again a year later. I'd like to have a loving relationship, but in my opinion it's a fantasy, and it's not worth pursuing. So I'm doing the backward social game again. If a good opportunity comes along I'm open to it, but the chances are super low.

Anyways, I think that if women are empowered with the ability to choose to be single for life, why not me too? Why should it be my lot in life to capture a female? At 29 I'm perfectly content being single, it is peaceful, no drama which a lot of women seem to have chained around their necks wanting everyone to look at. I think it's a valid decision, and unless some miracle woman comes along, I'm sticking to it.
