Romance

Thehopeavenue

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?

  • It’s a good question. I have been married for more or less 32 years now, I was married at 21. To be honest I fell lucky never expected anybody would be interested in me. I’m  quite introverted didn’t know I was autistic then so hopeless at social stuff. Sometimes events just fall your way that’s what happened for me. We started as friends and things developed from there. She is very different to me which helps me a lot. She somehow puts up with my foibles!
