I agree and I know that i have missed it a lot

Thank you, as I see, we all miss them in one way or the other... we are all only humans.

I miss it all too, but I have survived and still flourish (i think) as a human being. When it happens, it happens. I know I don't want to be with someone, just to be with someone. There has to be a real connections.

I saw the blog the other day where soneone asked what people on alt want, and my first tought was - connection.
So I agree with what you said, not so sure though if I am flourishing, or stagnating.

How long? I'd say when you write a blog like this one, it's been long enough.

For sure. You hold all the keys to your happiness - you know it and I know it. Best concise advice I can give is to make sure you're giving off good vibes.

Good vibes... what are good vibes in particular?
I know a few who were sending off good vibes, but they were not happy inside... but they performed a very well PR game.
What also comes to my mind is a picture I saw once of many smiling faces with a caption this is what depression looks like.
So good vibes as we see them are not often the vibes of the real persons feelings.
Sometimes I would like to share a meal with someone, or to snuggle next to... but when I think of the way to go till we get there, I already feel exhausted...

It depends on the person and the need. Love is all that matters. If there is no love you can wait an eternity. But then again, how do we define love? Only you can answer your question. If it has to do with BDSM, I have no need for it. Companionship is more relevant for me. Holding hands can be very intimate. You can tell a lot by simply holding hands. Then we have nostalgia and that is all in the mind and our recollection for things that are gone like a wisp of smoke.


ExNameForUse replies on 8/28/2024 4:10 am:
Companionship is a very nice word and what it represents. Something I think I would prefer more over anything else right now.

It's been QUITE some time for me, Ex, and I will admit that I miss the closeness of those simple pleasures you mentioned. But, I'm pretty picky about sharing those moments, and won't allow it to be just anyone, which, I'm sure, has prolonged the absence. But I'm aware that I'm alone, and enjoy the solitude, for the most part, and rarely feel 'lonely', and keep an open mind that the elusive woman I seek is on the horizon...


ExNameForUse replies on 8/28/2024 4:08 am:
Just as you said, I have adjusted my life to being alone, but not really lonely. With regards to company, I still prefer being alone rather then being in company just for the sake of it.
I miss those little things, but I can not have or share them with just anyone just because I miss them.
I only wonder if it can be damaging for our souls to be without these precious connections.

There has been a drought here as well. I choose to fill that void with lunch with friends, going to the theater with friends, and traveling with friends. No, it's not the same but I'd rather have my friends than a situation where I am always questioning the validity.

It is good to have your trusted people you can share and spend the time with.

Flourishing or stagnating. Your in Limbo so to speak. Transitions of sorts. Look at this time as a period of reflection. You are still dealing with the loss of trust with your last partner and the dealing with your offspring. And, it could be just a time when no one in particular has sparked any interest so far. You don't strike me as a person you jumps into a relationship now days without complete trust and the elements of love, respects and frankly romance. I sense you would like to be courted in the traditional manners.

ExNameForUse replies on 8/28/2024 9:18 am:
I think you are spot on, apart from no one sparked any interest since I am having a huge trust issue after my last partner's betrayal, and obviously, as you said - dealing with my kid, so I am not even looking for any sparks, so to say...
Do I want anything fast and furious... well, no, not even for a friendship or a vanilla relationship, I simply don't move that fast, never did, and now I am even slower in this regard... and it is why I started to wonder if this way of living will last forever or how long will it last and should I accept that those little kind and gentle exchanges are out of my reach because traditional manners seem to be outdated... and I have become more closed and suspicious about everything...

I should add: Not many in all of this will be patient and be traditional, they want to get to the kink stuff right off and expect sex immediately after contact.

Ex that question is answered differently & varies in length of time for everybody individually…it’s never good to be w o that intimacy!
when the time & person are right for you is when it’ll happen…only sorry l didn’t do it for you! lol


ExNameForUse replies on 8/28/2024 9:21 am:
BDD, you are right, things happen when the time is right, and even if they don't, then it simply is not meant to be... I have also changed and become a bit hard and peaky and not really easy to deal with... a looner with a big smile and big walls around me.

There has been a drought here too, going on about a year now.
I have the avenue for a couple select junk-food fixes. I have been known to take a taste every now and again, but oddly that doesn't even seem worth it to me at this point. TBH, Having dealt with a number of liars lately, and still somewhat feeling the loss of the last boy, I am just not interested in dealing with any of them. I am unpacking a little more each day and setting in, enjoying my peace. While at times having a naked boy wrapped around me sounds good, I am not yet moved to make it so. How long, you ask? I have no answer to offer dear Ex.

ExNameForUse replies on 8/29/2024 12:01 pm:
I guess the answer is all personal and individual... feeling every word you wrote, the only difference is it has been since March 2023 for me, so a little longer but just as you said - even though I miss those little things to share with someone, I am simply not moved with anything to make a move to make it happen... just thinking sometimes how long will it last like this... without a clue or the answer... so let it be as it is... thanks for dropping by, dear IM!

I try to fill that void with contact with friends, women friends.

I too, have a hugh trust issue, if it come to contact with men.
I rater stay away from them, to be honest.
Also, the change of meeting a dominant/sadistic human being, with ethics? "in the wild"?
is almost non existence...
Vanillas just wont do it.

But, even with close friends, the feeling is not the same, it does not go thát deep, although the contact is always great and we hugg and kiss each other, touch each other, laugh and share very private things, ( but not the bdsm thing, ) ofcourse, them being vanilla, it would shock them out of their shoes!

I am happy to have those contacts, though.....

I have skin hunger, too. ( ever since the corona lies)


ExNameForUse replies on 8/30/2024 9:17 am:
I certainly am not just sitting at home having a pity party, as you said - I too have a few close friends, and whenever possible we spend time together and that time can be quite hilarious... I also work and have 8 hours of office day that I share with my colleagues and that can be quite fun too...
I also enjoy having my alone time, I am not one who can not be alone... just the opposite...
But there is that time when no matter how much you share with friends or colleagues - there are things meant to be shared differently and different levels of intimacy... that is what I feel to miss and wonder if I will ever have it again.

Last Thursday. If you would keep someone, set them free.


ExNameForUse replies on 8/30/2024 9:12 am:
Loyalty is not negotiable, so I set him free - not to keep him, cause keeping someone who can't speak the truth is not on my wish list.
Happy for your last Thursday though.

Ex,
sorry for the late reaction,
I understand what you are saying about how your life is developing...
And, that that, is good, too.

Yes, i do miss thát special person intimate, mental contact, too
I hope i will meet that person one day....

ALthough i am totally not seeking, at all.
Too bussy with other things in my life, too..

Most men bore me to death, sooo terrible vanilla predictable..... behaviour... Yuck

Maybe your sons taste has changed?
And now he like to eat special German things?
Just a bit of teasing... good humoured teasing,
Enjoy your time, together!! Have fun!

Ex,
I've realized that it's been almost three years since I've been in a relationship. This period of isolation has allowed me to explore and enjoy my own company. It's a unique sensation when you find yourself preferring solitude over entering into another relationship that lacks depth and meaning. Despite making an effort to connect with others, I've found that the options are limited, leaving me drained from encountering deceitful behaviors and mind games.

I understand that I have to be out there to find someone, but does it have to be so fucking hard?

I wish you the best in your endeavors,
~xM

ExNameForUse replies on 9/23/2024 10:34 am:
You have summed it up so well that it would be rude if I would try to add anything but nod and say how much I agree with each word you wrote, dear M...
I gave up, in whole honesty... if someone or something ever happens again, I won't either hunt it or force it... it will come to me and hopefully, I will recognize it.
