Can you live a life without love?
I know a few people who are single and do not have a partner and have not had one in a very long time. These people are definitely lonely and when someone takes an interest in them, the tend to fall for that person very quickly and get taken advantage of.
Many people who have married and subsequently divorced and do not have children complain how lonely they are.
Love does not have to be romantic love but in my opinion a life without love is not a life worth living.
A nun or priest who may not marry love God and that is who they choose above all others.
You might no longer have a romantic partner, but friends or family you love.
I love my children and my family.
Imagine having no family, no friends, no husband or partner. Going to work, coming home and being all alone day in and day out. There are people like that.
I believe that people were not meant to be alone and for that reason I believe a life without love is a life unfulfilled.
So tell me can you REALLY live your whole life happily and content without loving someone special and having that someone love you back?

I was born to a mother with a personality disorder. She did not love me as she did my siblings. I grew up feeling alone and persecuted. I was abused and manipulated and generally treated like a unwanted unloved idiot. I lived in denial in my youth and figured lots of messed up people go onto lead somewhat normal lives so why not me? But people today are very judgemental and cruel. I was tormented for not being “normal”. I spent decades crying by myself. I did therapy but coping skills are not the answer to everything. Without a loving family I was continually rejected by men as a wife. Now I am old and still alone. My family is as distant as ever so I have given up on them finally. I never gave up on myself but I cannot control others and the rejection is getting to me so I have given up others. You would think that I have lost hope but I haven’t it’s just that in my entire life of all the risks I took to improve my life, none have worked. I have literally failed at everything I have ever wanted. Life is indeed not fair. My first and longest lasting lesson. You can live without love but who wants to? I have to do a bunch of tests soon to find out if I have a serious illness. I plan to not to do anything to help myself. It’s a relief actually to finally be done with a life of being alone all the time. I have literally no one. No one to come to visit me in hospital or care if I make it home or not. My entire family is leaving for Hawaii, together, without me. They told me the day I told them I had to have these tests. I don’t know why I even bothered to look for support there and I wished they had never told me like they were planning to do. It is their loss. I would have been a fantastic daughter or sister if they let me. I have all sorts of compassion and love to laugh but they rejected me so harshly I have no idea why. It’s been a lifetime of rejection and I am tired now. I’m ready to go. Enough failure.
My Dear Rae,
I am so sorry that you have such a difficult life. There cannot be anything worse than being alone. If you would like to contact me (a stranger I know) maybe I could be someone you can be friends with so that you do not feel all alone. Just reading your story I can truly say I DO care about you and what happens to you even though I do not know you. If you would like me to contact you please send me an email address where I can mail you.
Hugs
