Does staying single equal having a more peaceful life? (Page 2)

[hahahmm]

Yeah but to me it's like saying, "If you don't eat you'll never get food poisoning". Some people genuinely don't need a companion. Others prefer team work with a good match. Then you have those who like being in a new relationship every 8 months for 30+ years.

There are so many problems with this question. What is the alternative? I have a feeling you mean either in a couple or not. Life has more to offer, but we've been conditioned to think those are the options. What about having lovers? Or dating casually? Or having multiple partners? Or single but part of other peoples relationships? What do you mean by peace?

For me, I am single, but I have a few lovers who are meaningful in my life.

[AncientWisdom]

For me it’s been great I’m 55 and still single by choice.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I think that is true for lots of people, and their is no reason why they can't remain happy.

[Flower7]

Yes, having another person involved with every area of their life can definitely have an impact!

[Flower7]

That causes there to be less control over life.

[Alisa158]

I think it depends on how everyone feels about being single. If you're better off alone than in love, why not?

[Handsomedope2]

Yes, if people would stop asking us about our relationship status and why?

[Flower7]

Yes, exactly! I actually just asked a question about that topic.

[JasM0]

Solitude is a form of peace. The question is if it’s equally fulfilling.


Cheers

[dustybiker]

Only if the person is comfortable in their own company.

[NathanDavis]

not necessarily... inner demons do exist, as well as battling yourself

[user1516]

Temporarily yea but then at some point in your life you start to crave love from someone.

[whistlingwh0res]

More time for myself, more money to travel, more and more and more

[Flower7]

I agree! 🏝

[Moose304]

In my case, I am single and am at 100% peace. I have several FWBs and at 63 is all I need!

[TrueConfection]

Living on an island all alone would be very peaceful, but unfulfilling and lonely.

[Jmmmfi4]

I've been single for 17 years and I can tell you I have less drama

[Flower7]

For sure!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I think staying Single is the best one can do until you find the right one to love

[boobliker]

i was single but wanted kids so ended up having a wife find me so we had kids then split up but now live together happily for 40 years so no

[Heartache0405]

Good thing she didn’t decide to get an abortion without your say. And even with your say she still could have. It’s fucked up isn't it? That that could have happened? You could have done absolutely nothing about it.

[Staximus]

I think that depends on if you are in a relationship with somebody who is good for you or bad for you

[Aakash_Hangargi]

It's a beautiful thing can be peaceful , boring and sometimes even lonely and more time to yourself

[Gingerguy33]

Being single is alright but I definitely miss being a relationship

[call_me_scar]

Peaceful sure maybe but from my ongoing experience it comes with the cost of being lonely
