I had a LTR for a few years, and lived with my partner. We were both financially doing better than most people we know, and were able to do things like travel, and plan for future events like buying a house, kids etc. I really enjoyed having a routine, and being able to spend time together even if we were just doing our own thing. Our attachment styles and love languages didn’t match so things ended a few months ago.
Now that I’m living on my own I really miss a lot of things that come with having a relationship, stability, looking forward to future milestones, and companionship. Everyone says to be fully content being on your own but I honestly don’t think I can be as happy on my own vs partnered up! I have a lot of hobbies, see my friends every other day but its not as fulfilling. What’s the fix, if any?
TLDR: Despite having lots to do, and seeing people often I don’t enjoy single life nearly as much!

It’s hard getting used to being on your own, I was the same after 7 years. It does get better, and you’ll meet someone else at some point. Get out and about with people and don’t spend too much time alone.
