I don’t have a FP anymore, they’ve all gone

Do you guys always have one? 

I had them over the last 10 years, but I think the last 1-2 years i havent felt that bond to anyone in the same way...I don’t know if it’s because the last ones all ended badly and painfully, so I don’t trust anyone to stay/can’t open myself up to anyway as it seems futile

Now I don’t feel connected to anyone closely, I know relationships with FP can be complicated and cause a lot of stress but, I miss feeling like that about someone 

I used to be motivated to date and believe that I could meet someone, now I feel resigned to being alone

Actually My dog may be my new FP....i realise as she’s sat on my knee. If she seems off with me I get upset and think she doesn’t like me anymore, or if she leaves to sit somewhere else I feel rejected 
Of course I know being a dog they don’t really have these feelings. I’m always happy to be around her, and miss her when she’s gone even for a couple of hours 

I miss feeling this for a human

Anyway how often do your FPs change and do you have periods when you don’t have one?
