Single DISers

[wvjules]

My birthday and Christmas are coming up and I hate not having a special someone to share them with. I love my DD and my family, but I feel like something is missing. The closer they both get, the sadder I get. Do you get depressed around this time of year b/c you have no SO to celebrate it with too?

 

[jrydberg]

Not really, no. I can understand feeling that way, but I've always been one to focus on what I have rather than what I could have. I'm very fortunate in what I do have. That's more than enough for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for improving things, but I'm happy with just me and my daughter.

Best of luck with everything.

 

[Scratch42]

I'm happy with just the way things are!

Hope you get out or your "Funk"!

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!

I get in that funk everyonce in a while.

Well, it's not just my husband that's gone. It's also both parents and my oldest sister. I'd love to go to sleep and not wake up until January 1.

It's not always easy. NYE is especially tough. I can be surrounded by friends but all of them have a SO and kids. That means I end up standing alone at midnight. Not fun.

I understand what you're feeling. Even though I'm content being single I still have that "wish I had someone special" sadness from time to time. This is such a romantic time of year. <sigh>
Big hugs!

i hate not having a boyfriend this time of year..especially when all my friends are not single...gets annoying....ill be ringin in the new year in pjs and on the boards im sure!

 

[disneyworld!]

well, my husband is gone, that is fine. we still talk. but my daughter is gone to, she calls etc. but I have been going thru....I guess "empty nest" for about 3 years now. I was with someone for 2 years of that. This year is bad!! It is gonna be the worst yet. the holidays really bother me.

This is my first set of "single" holidays and I find that I have to motivate myself more, plans don't just "happen." But all in all, I'm cool with things. It's less depressing than I expected really.
Any DISer of note is welcome to come to NYC on NYE and party with us! We've got a lot of momentum behind our little shindig ... we rented a whole bar!

Details please

The only holidays that bother me are NYE and Valentine's day. The others are fine because I tend to focus on my son and the rest of my family.

Would that include "archenemies" too?

 

[danacara]

Why not, we'll take archenemies. Ha. We rented a new spot on 44th btw 1st and 2nd, PM for details if you're looking for NYC plans.

I'm not single but I am coming here to pout (and sympathize with how you feel). I feel like I might as well be single lately. My DH is gone about 3 weeks a month, but what's worse is when he's home he's tied up with other business. I spent my birthday and Thanksgiving alone, and I know I'll have him Christmas day, but the rest of the time I know he'll be busy.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

Not really. I guess I'm just used to it. This year is going to be rotten though, since dd is with her father Christmas Eve through the 26th. I suspect Christmas for me will be spent sitting on the couch watching rented movies. Woohoo.

 

[clutter]

I'm with jrdberg.

Of course, as a single mom, there are times I wish my dd had a dad in her life. Sometimes I wish I had a relationship. But if I take a good, long objective look at what I really want, I don't want everything that comes with a relationship, just the good stuff. So I laugh at myself, and am happy with what I do have.

Hey Jason. Were you in the movie "The Punisher"? There was a bad-*** dude in there that look a lot like you.

Maybe you should check to see if all your digits are still there.
