It's been several months since I stopped having relationships. I spent so many years of my life in a relationship, being single is a new world.

I don't object to a situationship or the company of women but I will not marry, cohabitate, or tie my resources to another person ever again.

I have been married twice and had one really LTR. I can learn from my mistakes and three iterations informs me that I am not compatible with modern relationships.

Am I lonely? Yup. Was I lonely before? Often.

Am I happier? Yup. Can you be lonely and happy? Often.

I am not recommending this for everyone...but it's worth considering.
