Let me ask you to think about the word “Freemale”. What does the word “Freemale” mean to you? To me the word “Freemale” means Independent people who much prefer their freedom to the demands of a relationship and family.The National Statistical Systems, states that eight per cent of men and women aged 25 to 44 now live alone. With divorce rates continuing to rise, the escalating “freemale” population comes as no surprise. As you read on you will gain a clearer understanding of this subject. They predict that single-occupancy homes will become one of the major trends of the next decade, making up 70 per cent of the growth of households by 2026.

I know you’re thinking it is probably a combination of work, a busy social life and gym workouts or sports activities, mean that many feel they have little time to share with a love interest. Are you beginning to realize?

Marriage counsellors and Marriage therapist often state that many people have become cynical about how viable long-term relationships actually are because people have seen lots of them break down. If you are like me then you may still have faith in close loving relationships even though we don’t see much of the positive side of commitment these days with the media seeming to hound and expose relationships that end badly. Okay, you’re probably thinking did they even cause the relationship to end. Caring for someone and having someone else who cares about you can mean more than anything. Studies show that there are great benefits from being in a long-term relationship, including better health, longer life, higher income and better outcomes for children.

Now keep in mind however, that some people’s experiences are vastly different and constant arguments, abuse, jealousies and insecurities prevail. A bad relationship can have very negative effects, including causing high levels of stress for men and women, depression and poor physical health.

All relationships are different and to say you experience a bad relationship once does not necessarily mean you will experience that again. Lots of ‘second time around’ relationships prove to be extremly loving and happy.

Learning from the failed relationship can make all the difference. Talking to a marriage therapsit / counselor can help you to develop.

If you remain resentful or harbour regrets and do not learn from your experience then you may see relationships as demanding, irrelevant, emotionally high-risk and a lot of hard work. Giving off all the wrong signals.

Let me ask you to tell me what this information meant to you.
