Am I the only single guy?

[Atory]

I've never been married and have no kids. Can anyone relate? I've been reading Kindle books for fun, but sometimes I feel like it would be nice to share my feelings and emotions with someone. Most important to me is that when I am in a group that I am not just observing or participating but that there is connection. I mean that others are reciprocating by speaking and sharing their issues or feelings also.
They say most guys don't share emotions. Do you agree? Do you think it is abnormal to be emotional as a guy?

Of course it’s normal to be a man who isn’t afraid of emotions.

I once was walking on a beach. I was sad that I had no one to share the stingray that washed up. I even looked for a stranger to tell

I have been married, but my wife passed away some years ago. Even simple things like watching a good movie are better shared. I can do that alone now, but it took me a long time to get there. I still cannot travel (like a vacation) alone. Seeing beautiful sites by myself would not work for me, since it was the sharing that made it worthwhile. I cannot eat out in a restaurant alone. I only go when there is someone to go with me.

I think being able to share emotions is a good quality in any gender.

I know what you’re saying @MACKTEXAS

I wish I could get rid of my negative emotions.

If you find out please let me know. Never been Sally Sunshine

It would be that DH came back and told me he understands why I threw all that stuff away and he likes how the house looks and how I've handled the finances. Then we would sit close together and happily plan the rest of our lives.

since the x has been gone this last few years, I do that.. sometimes.. if I see something that I think I would want to tell someone.. and I'm on my own..I tell the nearest person


Of course, I live in the South so here if you speak to random strangers, they either screech with horror..... or call the police.... so I have to run away a lot....

I think I meant this for the 'what's your fantasy' thread.
Atory, definitely nothing wrong with being an emotional guy.

I never found the southern English to be that way. Probably expected from a crazy American to talk to just about anyone!

@hearlady
I thought I was reading the fantasy thread when I read it. Did you move it?

@hollydolly

possibly...but relly you were at college so you were mixing with your peers regardless of nationality...

but the southern English are absolutely notoious for being stadoffish and unfriendly.... it's sad really...

My ex and I split up almost nine years ago. Let’s say I miss the good early years of the marriage and when the kids were growing up. The ending was not good. Addictions. I don’t miss her.

All my male friends are married. They really don’t share emotional stuff (they probably do with their wives). It’s all talk about sports, market trading, travel, buying and selling this and that. One year a former member of our group disappeared and nobody would talk about it. I finally found out he un-alived himself. No obit or funeral - zip. Nobody ever mentions it. Like he never existed. Sad.

I think my kid’s generations (millennial/z) are much better communicating about emotion, feelings, and such…

A person can't get your goat if you don't tell them where it's tied.

We all just have to make the best of our life, single or coupled.
