"I'm resigned to the fact there most definitely is not " Do you think it's a maturing realisation? As a 'young person', I honestly gave it little thought and assumed I'd be paired up by now. Yet at nearly 45, I'm not, and highly unlikely to find a 'life partner'... And I'm really good with that to be honest. | |||

" I'm not sure if this is worse or better, but I lived a life if over 20 years with what I thought would be a life partner only for that person to turn on me at the later stages of my life. It feels like betrayal and the best years are in my past. | |||

"I would like to think there is. I hope that my children find someone special to share their lives with when they are older." I completely get that! And totally my wish it for my own child, but she's been paired up with her partner from 16, they now have kids together. They're now respectively 25, and nearing 30, and if they're together in a few years from now I'll sadly, but frankly eat my hat. I think life, pregnancy, and expectations, pair bond young folk as they always have. But I definitely think we've shifted focus from the expectations of staying together due to that. Or just having to 'settle down' with someone because it's the done thing to do still? | |||

"…. So with that in mind, I'm pretty comfortable with both my own company and with more transient relationships that suit my and the other party's needs and desires. " We’re all different. And I think what you say about finding people who match your needs, is right. But I do think those needs can last a lifetime if you’re lucky in love. | |||

"I think I am better on my own now. It would have been nice to have met Mr Right but it never happened." I think we determine who's mr right depending on our needs at the time. Our needs change over time. I see so much of the each party blaming others for thier own failings, it is easy to blame others and i a way makes us feel better. Don't get me wrong, people have real reasons justly to blame others i know i was one of them. That aside and is history, but many cases we are architects of our own missfortune. I was in a long term relationship with an lovely guy. He was in many ways the archetypal mr right, one we dream of, spend the rest of your life. I ended it, truth is on reflection, i dont know why i did, sure i could invent reasons, find some in my head to shift responsibility onto him, but is that fair. I think the problem is mr right may exist, but our definition of mr right keeps changing over time, moving goal post, the dream/nightmare when your running but can never catch up. We then reslove ourselves and tell ourselves its ok im happy with the way things are, or we just accept them and try to make the most of the situation. That maybe gives us solice | |||

".. I do sometimes feel for those that are stuck in very stale relationships and even more so for those that feel something is wrong because 'the one' never came along to trap them into a socially constructed monogamous for life contract...... …" Trap? Please don’t be so cynical. What you said about being a gift to someone is exactly the same. I would choose (not be trapped) to want to spend the rest of my living life with everyone and share this wonderful adventure with a special someone want to. It’s not a trap because of society saying I should. My soul just wants to be with theirs. They make me feel whole, without them I miss something. A trap? | |||

"I know fine well there is not But I feel the older I get. Potentially the fussier I get in may respects... Others thoughts? " I think that there is someone out there fore you OP but with approximately 2.166 billion (based on a heterosexual searching for a partner and assuming that half the world's population is female and 2/3s of that sub population is above the age of 18), it could take you sometime to honestly declare that there isn't someone out there for you. Good news as you're bi OP, you can double that number to 4.33 potential partners So, get you passport out and get searching... Or go on global dating sites. | |||
