Is being single really optional in modern life?

Question

For a small minority it is. There you have many who live under the delusion that it is worthwhile just to make themselves feel good. The reality is most humans are meant to have partners. That is a basic function of human life, sadly some will always fail at it.

I have a friend who's a bit older than me. She's in her 40s never married, never dated. She'd had FWBs but she didn't do it for long. She loves her life. She makes plenty of money and goes on extravagant vacations. She has 2 big dogs and lots of friends.

So I'd say it is.

Of course but with rent and home ownership so expensive two incomes might help with that. I know it is not important to some but to be loved and to have a healthy sex life also are important to me. hbu?

In modern life, most people are selfish, egoistic, and act without taking responsibility. It is very difficult to be with such people. In times like these, remaining single until finding a suitable partner seems like a truly necessary choice for emotional people.

Of course; lots of people are perfectly happy being single. You don't need a relationship at all, unless you want one. There's nothing wrong with either choice.

Abbycado · Answer

It’s optional for anyone. Some choose that.

Chayce · Answer

No it's illegal actually. Anyone who's single has to posture as being in a relationship or they actually face being prosecuted.

Why wouldn't it be? If you're talking about needing two incomes to survive, there's always roommates. Or, you could do the really smart thing and leave the USA, while you're young, and enjoy an affordable life somewhere else.

Highly viable... the question is can you handle solitude and be content?

It’s optional, always has been optional. I have heard people find who was meet for them, maybe it might okay not being single. Not being in alignment with your partner, it’s best being single.

Well, it's at least 50% optional. For some people it's less optional than that. But a lot of it will still hinge on that person.
