It's Not Satisfying

Sondra C

Living alone is great, except when it is time to take out the garbage, or to vent. Did anyone try to have a discussion with a cat, or an empty room? It's not satisfying at all.

The sound travels to the walls and back again like an echo, and you hear yourself twice. It's not satisfying at all.

When it's time to take the dishes and pots and pans out of the dishwasher, it is all left to you. No one to nag until it is done. It is just you in the house. It's not satisfying at all.

It might be time to find a man to share your life with if the above is how you feel. Being alone for a long period of time gets lonely, even though you are in control of the TV Remote Control.

Living alone has its merits I admit, but when it comes to being alone all the time, it's not satisfying at all.

Finding a friend to go places with can make you happy at times, until the friend leaves to go home and you find yourself alone again. Finding a new mate to spend the rest of your life with, can make you happy at times until you find out he has been cheating.

If you are lucky you will have a second chance at marriage, but do not depend upon it happening any time soon, not with all the creeps out there!

    Yvonne Leehelen Dowe I thank you for your comment. I, like you, never thought I would even own a cat to talk to. But they sure are good company even when she makes a mess by flipping over her scratching board and all the cardboard falls all over my carpet...

    This is quite interesting. I feel the same way. Especially when the kitchen part.

    I never said that I want to get remarried or that I wanted a husband. I would like someone to share thoughts with, talk to about things a stuff, to be there when feel ill, or just need some comforting words. If I had wanted to remarry, btw, I had two wonderful marriages, I would have been married years ago. Thank you all for your comments. They are very much appreciated.

    I have been alone since 91. I love being alone. I do not long for a husband. I guess after having 2 that I couldn't trust caused me to have no trust left. My friend is like you. She is longing to get remarried some day.
