I go to church, for the fellowship and the free meals... Ok, mostly for the free meals... Ok, ok, just for the free meals. Better to be alone and full, than alone and hungry.

Makes sense

I try to remember the crazy a$$ women I have known and thank the stars that I am alone and no one is sneaking up on me to smack me because I bought everything on her list, but failed to buy something that I thought up by myself, the list was three pages of ideas the ungrateful hag

YOU Sir, let someone very special slip out of your life!!!
How are you dealing with that???

We're finally together...and will never again be apart!

Ok

Read your post awhile back good for you two.Gives hope to everyone that is alone

Of course there's hope. Everyone on here, or most have been in a marriage, a relationship that started somewhere and when the time is right we will have another start, maybe here, maybe somewhere else. The meantime is not always a bad thing...

I still live alone, but I don't really feel all too alone. The DVR now records the strangest of things (Steve Wilkos, America's top model, Kardasians, and of course she has a kardasian phone now). Always fresh flowers in both houses, 4 stockings on the fo-place (plugged fireplace) each one being their favorite colours, pink, purple, green and yellow. 50 to 60+ text messages a day, an occasional photo of this and that, an occasional inclusion of one or more of her girls in her visits, and barely a day per week she isn't here. I fully expect that they wont be here until the day after Christmas, and am hoping for a new years eve with them and she knows to not just sit around when I'm asleep but to wake my a$$ up any time she's here. Oh, and under the pool table next to the Christmas tree, baby girl's toys. There's bits and pieces of them everywhere, reminding me that they are in my life, with the only down side that they keep leaving. That last part I'm workin on.

I eat. and I think more about food, usually gain an extra 5lbs that i will shred during spring. I also end up drinking more often, quiet evenings I treat myself with a red or white whine here and there.

I'm a homebody so it's all good.

I've gotten used to it. It is a time that I relax and reflect on what I want to happen in my life in the coming year. If I found someone that wanted to come over and cook together, that would be a plus. I typically don't make a meal just for me.

Very well said.

I have a great holiday alone or with someone.

My first holiday alone was a rough one..but since then I have learned that I'm never alone. I have great friends and family that love me and will always be a part of my life no matter who I may be "dating"....or married to for that matter :p

I no longer feel "alone" If I'm single during the holodays. I feel like myself.

Its so much worse feeling alone while being with someone.....thats agony!!

I have far too many voices in my head to be alone at any point in my life.

Not even "Little Wanna"? I am sorry that you are to be alone for the holidays, especially since obviously you are unhappy about it.

Over the past four years, since Bob died I have been very fortunate in that my folks tried to make sure I wasn't alone...that being said there have been a few, including one when my phone was out too, that was rough - couldn't even talk to anyone!

Usually I cook something special for myself, maybe not the traditional meal (no 8 course Thanksgiving dinner for one!) but something I love that I usually deem to expensive...usually baby back ribs for me when alone on a holiday. Rent a favorite movie or three, take a long walk, and truth be told....wait for the day to end - knowing that it will. In other words I try to make the most/best of it BUT...

Feel free to call me if you wanna talk....I will email you my new number.

A day, just like any other day. Nothing special.

I enjoy it
