26M and just got out of a relationship that only lasted 6 months, of which 4 were lovey dovey and the last two were like hell. The I person I was with didn’t have any flaws per se but I genuinely hated my space being invaded. I wanted to go home from work to relax but we had to have a full debrief of the day everyday. Even on the days where I asked to have some space I dreaded the “some space” time be over. I remember the day we broke up and it felt soooo liberating cause I finally got to chill at home and relax being braindead. Not sure if this is relevant but I’m also a doctor and work can be extremely stressful (though I love every part of it), by the time I am home I’m almost gassed out. I want to go home feel like Im in my comfort zone. Having a partner felt like constant noise in my environment. Right now I can’t even stand the idea of having a partner at the moment. I’m finding so much solace in my single life at the moment but Im just mildly anxious if I end up being 70 and dying alone. I can genuinely see myself spending life solo and enjoying it and it frightens me out. Can anyone relate to this? submitted by /u/Glad-Drawer-1177

People don’t decide to stay single. They decide to drop partners x, y and/or z. If someone thinks they’re deciding to stay single, all it takes is finding the right person to make them eat their words.
Also it’s possible to have a partner but not live together. Especially with you being a doctor, it’s not a financial impossibility.
