    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I do faith based DBT and CBT weekly. My DBT workbook has Scripture with each lesson. I decided on the break from trying to date for the winter because I needed to fully focus on myself. I know there's more growth needed and I'm totally invested in doing the work necessary. The life I lived...

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I have high standards and morals. I don't judge a man by his income. I look at conduct, character, and if he's able and qualified to lead, i.e. spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally. I was with men who only had finances as their "good quality" and I learned that those who only bring...

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    Congratulations! ❤️ I'm enjoying being single and I also believe if it's in God's will for me to have a man to marry someday, He will make it happen and I'll embrace it. Thank you! God bless you as well! ❣️

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I forgive readily as of recently. I had to first figure out the line between forgiving and accepting. I now know that just because I forgive someone and their behaviors/actions does not mean I have to accept the continuation of and allow it in my life. I pray for them and have boundaries. I was...

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I'm a sponge, I love absorbing new information, ideas, and viewpoints. In my opinion, the only dumb question is the one that goes not asked. I'm getting a lot better at practicing patience. When I find myself rushing to a conclusion or solution, I remember what a former therapist told me years...

    I have a dog and a cat. They are so silly, loving, and amazing! There's never a dull moment with my girls 😊

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I agree with you. I'm enjoying the journey and walking in faith with my Lord and Savior. I've been good at recognizing patterns in other's behaviors and compare them to past experiences I've had. If something doesn't add up, along with praying, I do ask a lot of questions so I'm not just...

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    My fur babies are my Valentine's and I continue to and always will go broke for my girls. Through them I've witnessed what it's like for another being to show me unconditional love is. They've seen me at my worst and are now seeing me at the best I've ever been and have loved me the same...

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I agree with needing to be satisfied in the Lord. That's the point that I'm at. I'm continually building and strengthening my relationship with Him so there's no emptiness I feel. That's why I'm so happy being single, I feel complete for the first time in my life. I love that you can relate to...

    Hey everyone!

    Regarding the number of years I've been alive, I can understand being considered young in certain contexts. My strict bedtime of 8pm, my sore back and knee beg to differ though lol!

    Hey everyone!

    I'm 32 and do not consider myself at all to be a "young adult" haha. That's why I asked.

    Wanting to be single for the rest of my life

    I'm trying to see if anyone else can understand and relate to where I'm at in regards to dating. I've been single for 16 months. I attempted to date through apps because I'm not a social person. It didn't go well so I promised to work on myself more through the winter, put off dating, and...
