At 53, I'm the only single woman amongst my friends and family. I am happy being single and I definitely don't want to be in a relationship. But, I've started to realize that while my family and friends are my primary relationships and I invest in them because they are so important to me, I'm their tertiary relationship. Their spouses and children are most important. I'm realizing that I'm reaching out but it's not reciprocated and the feeling of being disposable has left me lonely and empty. I need a little moral support tonight.
