first off, I want to say that I"m no "casanova" by any stretch of the imagination, but I've had quite a few relationships, and they usually don't last too long (my longest one lasted 5 years, and 2 1 yr ones), problem is that I really enjoy the companionship of being with someone, but to me I seem to be happier when I'm not in a relationship. I'm not gay, I love women !! but it seems like after awhile, I start getting bored with it and wish I was by myself again. I am a single parent, as I have my daughter 24/7/365, so it's not that I don't have nothing to do, because I do. I always tell my friends that I can never see myself married, and they all laugh at me, but I am serious. Any thoughts/advice?

My thought is - I agree. I am also a single parent and mostly happy with that. I don't like to date and I don't see myself married, ever again.
I think My ex-mother-in-law has it right. She is married and they decided they work better if they have seperate homes. So they each have an apartment and they spend some nights together but not all of them...Maybe that is the solution.

No, nothing's wrong with you. If there is then let me know because there's somthing wrong with me too. I'm a single mom of three, I've been in plenty of relationships and I love men. I guess I'm what you call a commitment phobe. I don't want to be married either. I can't tell you why. I have no idea. There are things that I like that no one can give me. I'm content on my own and when I get lonely, well that's what friends are for!

Nothing is wrong with you. If you are happier when not "locked in" to a serious relationship, at least you are aware of it ! Later on down the road, you may meet someone who does makes you want to be "locked in", or you may continue the road you are on. For now, just enjoy your life and your daughter.

I can feel you. I think you just havent found the right person. When you are in relationship you have the added stress of nurturing them. I love being alone and it's kind of selfish but oh well. I am sure there is probably someone out there that would change my mind. Probably for you too!

My friend, I am more happy being alone than in a tight relationship. My guy is more than an hour away. Some of us just need our space. You are not bad or better than anyone else, just one of us.

I hope you are doing a better job with your daughter than you are doing with yourself. You sound like you haven't grown up enough to know yourself and what you want out of life. Cool your jets until you do. Remember you are a father, and your daughter will seek out someone like you when she grows up. So do you want her to pick men who are constantly leaving her when they get bored? I suggest you think about how it will rip out your heart to see her in such pain when she's dumped by someone like you and you can't do a thing about it.

actualy i do know what you mean. i feel the same way when i'm in a relationship. i don't know why but i can't seem to settle down and be happy either. i always drift away from the person i'm with. maybe it's just us, i don't know.

i don't see a problem, if you like being alone and not in a serious relationship great...do that...have fun with a woman on occasion but focus on your daughter....Be Blessed

Are you happy being as you are? If you are then just enjoy life on your terms.
