I was in a relationship for 3 years; I finally realized that the relationship can't go any farther. I dismissed all my friends for this guys but now I don't have any friends. I'm bored now. So your ladies live the single life outthere.

I never understood this concept. Why would people dismiss or stop contact with friends over someone you are dating? If they are true friends, then they would understand you can't spend all of your time with them and the S/O should understand it too. But I'm just blabbering

But anywoo....I'm happy being single. If I'm in a relationship, then great, but I'm happy single also

where are my manners???? Welcome to the site and to the forums. Lots of good people here

There is something wrong when you turn away from your friends over anyone. Men do it too stupidly! Sounds like you got a lot of fence mending to do!

And being single is only fun when you get to date! Loneliness is such a drag!

I agree rose, An welcome lil being single can go anyway you want it!!!

hello and welcome

a lot of people go through this, they believe by removing and stopping all outside communications and friendships that they will have more time to dedicate to making the relationship work, I too never understood this concept but it has been explained and expressed by many.

Never lose your individuality (jmo)

good luck

Having an imaginary friend never hurts.

I've been married and divorced twice. In both instances we had a lot if friends but when the wives decided to run off all those so called friends disappeared.

One of the signs of a predator is isolating his prey.

I had a very close friend and I thought we would always be close, but then she got a "boyfriend" (lover/sex partner) and he was very controlling and she allowed him to take over her life. I did not see her for days or weeks at a time, and we had always talked every day.

We are no longer friends. She stabbed me in the back in several other ways too. I have no respect for that.

Don't change your life because someone (boyfriend or girlfriend) gets all possessive and controlling or jealous over you. Develop a spine. Be yourself always. Don't change for someone else.

This is so true.

I have let someone cut me off from my friends and family....It will and has never happened since...I am happy being single.

I have been married twice. I was miserable the whole time.

I love being single, not because I like to date but because I like my independence. I have found so many times that after you date a guy, sometimes even once, that they tend to think they have marked their territory on you.

Forget sleeping with them once. Then they act like they are married to you and expect you to account for every moment of your time to them.

Not all men are like this of course. But the ones who are not, are probably screwing ten other women and juggling two wives. LOL

Its all just too much of a hassle. Not worth it, especially at my age. LOL

I don't wanna ask what yours are like!

Or Mr. Wilson.

I went thru the same thing babe.

And when all is done and said, your family and friends are still there but the man is long gone.

Kinda like a Seiko .. keeps on tickin ..

I have a couple of them..
