Do any singles out there wish they had a partner for Thanksgiving?

We are kicking off the lonely time of the year for those of us who aren’t in a relationship. It gets old explaining to family that we aren’t seeing anyone, and there’s no one on the horizon. How do you cope?

    Oh please! I do not need a man to complete me. I am happily divorced, with no one to add to my headaches!

    Sometimes being single is a blessing. After countless holidays arguing and bickering, I’ve decided that simple explanations are best. If that doesn’t work, I generally resort to expletives…
    However, all questions stopped after I brought an “Escort” to a family function… ; }

    ironcity,

    I got to empty chair around my dinner table if you want to come over, but I am an old gay guy if that doesn’t bother you.

    Cowboy/Jets game starts at 3 CST.

    i treated it just like any other day. in my line of work we DO work on thanksgiving. iwould always trade that day off to someone who had children so they could have their holiday together. i am thankful each and every day. i don’t need one particular day to be thankful.

    Lonely is as lonely does. I know that it is hard if you feel like something is missing without a partner…some people might make you feel that you don’t measure up or something. That is with them,not your problem. You might say: oh, by the way, how’s your alcohol problem coming along? Or how is your wife doing with her passive aggressive issues?
    How’s the sex life? Still getting some after 14 years of marriage because you know what they say……LOL

    try asking a highly personal and perhaps judgemental question and then quickly say….oh how rude of me to ask, that is so personal, forgive me for my insensitivity……maybe they will get the hint.

    I remember one year I ran into a high school friend….I asked her how she was doing since I hadn’t seen her in 5 years, and before I could even get the word out of my mouth, she shoved her hand in my face to show me her engagement ring. It’s like she felt she was nothing without that.

    I have been there (without anyone on holidays) I remember people phoning me like it was the end of the world that I didn’t have someone on Christmas Eve. I loved the simplicity of the evening all to myself. I was able to reflect on what was important and enjoy the peace of the eve.

    It’s sometimes “mind over mood” if that helps.

    No, The next time your family says anything to you tell them you thought that’s what family’s are for. And whats their excuse. Just ignore them!
