Romance

Does anyone else worry that they won't find a romantic partner? 

I've had relationships but never been married, never lived with someone properly, only for days at a time.

I frequently hear things like "You need to be comfortable with yourself before you're able to be comfortable with others" when it comes to relationships but if anything, i am more than happy to be on my own for a frequent amount of time. It's finding the balance in a relationship without that person being neglected that I've struggled with.

For those of you in long term relationships, how have you made it work?

  • We met in our late teens and we're now in our sixties. We were introduced by mutual friends. 

    We were lucky in that we found each other fascinating and although we've been through some awful times during our lives, being each other's best friend is what has kept us together.

    Some people say opposites attract, maybe they sometimes do but I can't see opposites staying together, I think you have to think the same way about most things to stay together.

    I wish you luck in finding a long term partner.
