When You Are Alone For A Long Time

The Story

Hello! I am 25 years old, a woman. So far I have had a long relationship - almost 5 years, when I was 13-19 years old. The boy and I parted several times, but I was not with others in this “free” time. ”What I learned as a lesson after this relationship was not to turn the person next to me into“ everything for me. ”Because after this love I turned out to be a baby in the world, but at the age of 19. I didn't have my friends, I didn't have my hobbies, I didn't have anything of mine, mostly socially. At the age of 20 I started dating men, but dating didn't happened very often, maybe I've been dating 20 people so far.With only one I thought something could happen and we were together for about 2 months.For a while we saw each other only for sex, because otherwise as characters we didn't fit. And I remained a good friend with one, but we didn't get along either. We drank something with the others once or three times and just cut off contact. However, time is running out and I am 25 years old. I have never lived with a partner in a home. I have created my own rhythm of life, which relies entirely on my desires and abilities. I'm used to taking care of myself, I work a lot, I have a little fun, I sleep a lot.

However, it seems to me that while before I had some dose of resourcefulness with the people around me, patience or whatever he is told, now the situation is no longer like that. Obviously I didn't get it with a partner. But my brother was visiting for a few weeks while he was looking for a place to live. Often his friends came to visit him, he often ate something I had planned for the day and confused my macronutrients for the day, if I don't have the opportunity to go to the store. This made me nervous and we fought several times. He was complaining about the hair at home (I have pets) and I wanted to tell him to leave instead of thinking about the option of reducing them, as I would have thought before. I love to travel, but I'm used to traveling alone. I often go somewhere where I can see an acquaintance or friend. But I stay in a separate object. Recently, a friend really wanted to go to one place, looking for the company several times, and in the end, no one wanted to go with her. She was depressed and I decided I could offer my company. It was extremely unpleasant for me. I didn't tell her because a friend in need knew each other and I wanted her to feel better. But I didn't like the fact that it was later than me and I had to keep quiet. I didn't like that, that she did not wash any dishes, because she was used to covering the sink, then to take care of it. I didn't like the fact that I was cooking (simply because I rarely eat in restaurants) and accordingly she never once offered to do anything, but she was happy to eat my food. When friends have been visiting me for a few days, I was annoyed that they talk to me and keep me busy while I work, and I, for example, have set aside some hours for them and then I just have to do some things and expect no one to "touch" me. . And all these things are small, but I generally realize that I'm becoming a well-ossified nut.

I don't want to compromise, I don't want to get out of my routine, I don't want things to happen differently. But I want to have a boyfriend and a family at some point. But the years go by. And I can't imagine spending time meeting anyone. I do not comment at all on the part in which I still have to meet this someone, and with my daily routine, the chance of it happening is minimal. I know that there are people who have been alone for a long time and then found their partner. Some start dating the opposite sex even after graduating from university. So if you have time, people of this type, how did things happen to you? When you found the right person, did you manage to adjust to him?

People, who love solitude at least for a while, how do you ensure it by having a partner with whom you live? I wonder if in the beginning, you forced yourself to accept the changes in your routine and whether at some point you got used to the new daily routine so that at the moment you accept it completely? I'm also interested in people, who steamed from a "suffocating relationship", how did they find the balance between normal and very intimate relationships? Thanks in advance for your time!
