Both men and women, single and married, are feeling a little love life stress this holiday season. But who is feeling it the most? Read on for the surprising results from a new survey by eHarmony.
The holidays can be a time of depression for a lot of people. . . more then we can imagine and it has zero to do with getting gifts or how much money you have or don't have. The hype of the holidays can trigger loneliness as well. Feeling loved and appreciated is at a premium during the holidays and it's the underlying need of everyone stressed about the superficial part of the holidays.. . the need for love being more affirmed and strengthened. It gets lost in translation, unfortunately, and we spend more money, become more obsessed with appearances rather then sharing the simple expressions of love that mean more then anything you can buy.


I'm single this year for the Holidays. What I've noticed is that there is a loneliness to have a special person in my life, but I also have discovered how muchmy friendslove me as well and I appreciate that more then anything. I've gotten more invitations to spend the holidays with true friends and gift exchanges have been lovely, simple tokens that I cherish more because of the thought that was put into them rather then the price tag. So this has been a less stressful holiday season because love is apparent.

WHAT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH IS LOSING MOMENTUM WITH POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIPS DUE TO THE HOLIDAYS.


The amount of patience that it takes to slow things down & wait is pretty ridiculous. Most of the time it is not a big deal, but every now & again it gets to me.
BREATHE, dude! BREATHE !!

Why would I be stressed? It's just another day to me. I've got plenty of other stuff to keep me busy. Proccupation with not having a relationship is not my thing anymore. If single is how it's going to be, it's going to be single and OK.


Since when does a relationship/ dating/marriage or otherwise define my happiness? I've been married and miserable and single and miserable. If I'm going to be single and can't change that, I'm going to be single and happy.

I guess I'm ok with being alone, but it does get real bad, especially around the holidays. And the need for people constantly displaying their PDA crap. Ugh....

Finally some truth. The older men get, the more likely their support network has disappearedin comparisionto women. And that doesn'teven include losing our children in divorces, the single most important people in a family man's (former) life. There's a man/men inevery office, facility across the USA whohas no family and spends holidays alone.
