I’m a bachelor living on my own and nobody contacts me, not family, not friends, not even my roommate wants to make plans with me. I’ve accepted this fact of life except the other people who do reach out besides my mom are two ladies from my past that I’ve dated. One was my ex who cheated on me a couple years ago and other is a situationship as they say who kept her marriage secret from me. I’ve gotten advice from others and ofcourse they’re both bad for serious relationships. Just wondering if anyone actually subjects themself to barren loneliness just cause the social rules say I shouldn’t be seeing these women. They both know I’m openly dating as they are too, but we spend time together such as going on small dates/dinners or just shacking it up in my room for the night. The only thing is I’ve had feelings for both in the past and am now just managing my emotions and boundaries in these pseudo relationships. There’s no titles, just nice companionship. I don’t feel I’m taking advantage of these women I’m just wondering if I’m beyond stupid for double dipping since I haven’t found any new ladies I click with.
And yes I go out, travel, etc. I’ve been single for awhile and the peace of mind is nice but ultimately unfulfilling.
