I thought we had to have a man and a woman to complete the circle. I'm confused too, I thought it took two to tango, two to fulfill life, two to share experiences, two to compliment each other, two to argue, two to kiss and make up etc etc.
But on the other hand, women do need to complete themselves since their men don't know how to apply that make-up for them.
Is this being, WOTD garrulous, or not...
The need some feel to have another in their lives to feel complete. No one completes you but you!
Happy Spring!!!
Well, I'm divorced and with work don't socialize a lot - small towns so kind-of like Cheers 'where everyone knows your name' lol and the last thing I want to do after a full day of work is 'talk work'. I get just the opposite from people I know: Constantly asking me 'aren't you lonely' 'why don't you date' 'oh I have a male friend I want you to meet' etc. etc. etc. - even as a child I enjoyed spending time by myself reading, riding my horse, my bike etc. As an adult, I enjoy my own company; I'm 'already complete' and don't need anyone (a man) to complete it. Now if God decided that there was the 'right man' for me and dropped him on my doorstep, well, it's not like I wouldn't 'listen' - but He would literally have to have the guys car break down in front of my house or office lol since those are the two places I'm usually at.
My sister is the complete opposite and it's probably why she's on her 7th (yes, you read that correctly) marriage, albiet she did marry one man twice - didn't work the 2nd time any better than the first If one is not happy with themselves, like who they are, etc. then being in a relationship isn't going to help 'complete' them. Like Lacey said: No one completes you, but you. The rest, well, is like the cherry on top of the whip cream.
Happy Spring to all of you who have been counting the days lol and actually didn't realize it was the first day of Spring since my house is in an area known as the land of eternal Spring. I never know what season it is

Ditto - couldn't say it better. I had been in steady relations (1 marriage) since I was 15 and when I divorced, even though it wasn't unpleasant, I just haven't had the desire to do it all again.
As C21 says - if the perfect man comes along (falls on the hood of my car when I'm driving) I hope I'm smart enough to recognize that he's a keeper, but if not, well, that's oK. I just don't know where this attitude comes from but I'm glad to know others feel the same way.
I admire strong relations and if you happen to have one - kudos!! This is the only relationship I'm willing to entertain. But 7 - time for her to sit down with her sister and have a serious heart to heart.
Lacey, I hope u know how special I think u r, but I can't get with u on this peeve. Being connected to the person u want to be with is very powerful and it feels like that person complete u and when that person is absent from your life for whatever reason u r keenly aware something is missing. U don't feel complete. However, this does not mean u can't be whole as an individual or u r exclusively dependent upon another for happiness. I think we r all on a journey driven by our need to love and be loved. I know a lot of women fall into the trap of believing they need a man. And sometimes they do. However, being whole is a process. Life is an ongoing series of adjustments. Most people r living with plan B on one level or another; yet, u learn to roll with it and be happy despite SO/marital status.
The need some feel to have another in their lives to feel complete. No one completes you but you!
Happy Spring!!!
I only miss being with someone when it comes time to pay the monthly bills.
