I spent most of my life up to around 32 constantly in relationships and couldn't be on my own for long. I felt like I needed to be with someone as that would make me whole. It never worked, the relationship would break down anyway. Getting comfortable with being single and looking within for love, strength, belonging and a purpose was hard but crucial for me. If you really on someone else for these things they are in control of your emotions and self esteem and it just isn't healthy let alone unfair to burden someone else with that responsibility. Therapy, CBT, volunteering, sitting with the uncomfortable feelings till they pass, meditation all helped me be comfortable being single. Now, I am happy in myself and in no rush to get a partner! x
