"Its not the net result of one's life that makes it important. It's the day to day trials and tribulations that make life worth living."

I've often thoght of this. I've been married for 27 years and I think if he were to leave, or much worse, die, then I probably would just crawl into a hole and never come out. Life would truly end!! Hang in there. Don't look at what could be, but look at the beauty of things happening now. Even though we have really rotten days, there is so much beauty out there for us to enjoy. You go get some of it!!!!

One of the worst negative tHought is about my husband and what ever would I do if I ever lost him. I worry when he travels far to work and is away for days at a time. I do this over and over again and I am trying to get out of this negative thinking, to be grateful that I have someone who accepts me in all my conditions and whenever I get to that funky thinking I have to pray and pray that the feeling leaves me. I am grateful for the man in my life may he always be safe and protected under God's Love and Care.

No, I don't stress about it because it can happen anytime.

People come into this world alone & leave this world alone.

I'm happy for you and your SO but know many people who are happy w/o an SO.

I have no S/O. Actually for a while I wished I did, but now I'm glad I don't. After seeing so much trouble on the board with peoples marriages I'm glad I do not have to go through that. I'm very independent and would resent having someone tell me what to do. Unless... Can a cat be a S/O? LOL If they can I have ten S/O 's then.

I stress out over that several times a week. Due to past events, I feel that the problems I have are a major factor as to why I have been unable to find that special someone. And yes, I have great fear that I will die alone.

Learning to be okay alone is the secret to having happy relationships. Otherwise, people end up being desperate and clingy and only drive those people that they love away.

Yeah, I do think/fear that. I just lost my love of seven years. I hope that I can maintain some semblance of health but I worry about having to introduce a new love to the "bad times". Feel lucky for having a sig. other that loves your for all the wonderful and the bad too...

ME, TOO, YA, BIG- TIME BUT, GOT LOTS OF FEMALE & MALE FRIENDS ONLINE, TRY: PLENTY OF FISH .COM OR CA" , NOT SURE, WHICH, A FREE, SAFE, DATING- SITE/ CHAT AREA IT HELPS OUT AND, LOTS OF, "FREE MEET AND GREET", PARTIES, EXCEPT YOUR POP, OR BOOZE AND FOOD IF YOU WANT TO, TOO!!!!!

I have been single for a few years and I guess you guys would go crazy if you were me.
If I do get into a relationship I will enjoy it for however long it lasts but there is life after a man.

I AGREE SEEKING, HARD TO FIND A DECENT GUY NOWADAYS ALL THE GOOD ONES TAKEN I THINK SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!!!!! ANY SOLUTIONS ANYONE, LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOST I KNEW WERE JERKS, AND LEAVERS,NOT KEEPERS, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, I wouldn't go crazy if I were you I love my independence. I lived completely alone for years and was very resistant to moving in with my boyfriend, though we ended up cohabiting for 5 years and it was great. I made the choice, though, to move away (for a number of years) to pursue a dream I have always had. So, it was my choice but that doesnt change my desire to either reconnect with him later or find a life partner that can give me space and understand my yuck side at the same time! I worry that there are not many out there that I am compatible with and I don't want to spend my whole life alone (from an intimacy perspective). Hopefully these worries that any of us have will be unfounded!

NA, BEING ALONE AND LONELINESS ARE DIFFERENT I MISS HAVING A MAN AROUND AND KISSES & HUGS, ETC., LOL!!!!!!!!!

WHINE, WHINE, WHINE, IT IS NO FUN AT ALL COULD OF GONE TO A SINGLES PARTY TONITE BUT FELT TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

i'll never be alone with all these voices in my head.
