+1 yYes, I am extremely pleased. I never had peace of mind until I decided to be single. I used to rely on relationships for happiness, no matter how toxic they were, and I'm happier now that I've broken that cycle because my life has improved since I freed myself from that cycle. I'm only 22 years old, so I don't want to rush things. I'm now wondering if I would have achieved more in life if I hadn't rushed into relationships, but if I hadn't gone through those experiences, I wouldn't have this kind of mindset because I learned a lot from them. As of now, I'm better off single while I work on bettering myself. Even though the guy I really like is asking me out, I'm not going to say yes until I'm ready and stable, so that my next relationship isn't toxic like the ones I've had in the past. I always get into relationships even though I'm not emotionally stable, which is why they don't last. In this case, I really like this guy, and I don't want to jeopardize our chances.
And I've already promised myself that relationships will not be a priority for the time being. My current priorities are my family, myself, and my career because I know that investing my time and effort in these areas will not be in vain and will benefit me in the long run. I'm much better off being single for now, especially since I'm an overthinker. I recently realized that I looked like shit while still in a relationship with my ex-partners because it was a really toxic relationship and I'm constantly stressed. I became lazy to study as well because I was distracted, I distanced myself from my family too and acted rebellious because that is what my ex boyfriend desired, and I made poor decisions throughout those relationships. It's all downhill from there. Maybe it was because I was with the wrong person because now I just had a glow up because I could take care of myself and I am being myself now, unlike before when I tried to change everything about myself because my ex wanted me to, I'm about to finish college now as well, I got closer with my family as well, and I'm on the right track in my career. It's the polar opposite of what came before, and it's all positive. That's why I'm much happier now that I'm single, and I refuse to let anyone jeopardize my peace of mind.

Yes 100%! I have been in relationships since I was 17 and am now 32 and have been single for nearly 3 years. It was so hard at first and always has been everytime I first become single as I was always used to having someone that I would always rebound trying to fill that void. But this time I decided to actually try to be on my own and see if I could do it. It was extremely hard at first- I cried all the time thinking about how lonely I was and how I had nobody to spend time with and nobody loved me etc just like you but then as time passed and I got used to it then I started feeling really good because I was completely comfortable being by myself and only having to worry about myself. It took me a while but once I got there it made me realise that it is so important to be able to be completely content with your own company and not feel like you need someone else as ultimately you are going to be with yourself for the rest of your life. No relationship is guaranteed. Like I said it does take time and I completely know how you feel as that was me as well. Its one of those things where you need to give it time and adapt to it because once you do- its amazing. All the best!

+1 yVery happy. I dont have to deal with a womans emotional roller coaster. I dont have to train her to be respectful. I dont have to be her therapist. I have time to play basketball, lift weights, organize my business, and maintain friendships with guys that i can learn from. Making more money and spending less money. I dont have to make decisions for someone else. I have peace, mental health, and im physically stronger than ever. Who knew that not chasing women would be so fulfilling, im happier than ever because I depend on myself for fulfillment and happiness. Life is great and I shock myself every day in some fashion. Work on yourself guys, women will always chase you. Then there's no wondering if she respects you, she will go out of her way to show it

+1 yYes , too happy being single , the only downside is paying all the bills solo , I'm a single dad too , by my own choice. Still far better than enduring marriage. No bitterness towards women , I simply can't be bothered , far prefer own company , & dating to me would be a chore. Also , far more women choose to stay single than men , and there are also more men than women , so I cannot compete in the sausage fest " dating market " as a single dad anyway , good job I don't want to. Look on the bright side , as a 20's female. you are in THE most desirable demographic by far.

+1 yYes, but it's just the way I am. I'm a bit of a loner and actually prefer being single. I like having plenty of time to myself (I am a person who definitely needs this; I like being around people, but it wears me out after awhile and I need my alone time), being able to call all of the shots with all of the decisions I make, etc.
00 Reply While I'm happy being single, it doesn't mean that I wish to stay that way. But I think that you need to enjoy the benefits of every state that you're in.
Also, it's nice not having to accommodate someone else's annoying habits in the hime and deal with theor feelings and what not.
The main thing is the sex but I'm not putting up with just anyone to get it.
Now that I'm single I don't have to worry about dressing up for anyone or looking good. If I feel like dressing up I do it for myself. Because I believe that you should honor your partner and look good and smell nice for them.
So I can be as stinky as I want. I shower and bathe don't get me wrong but if I'm knackered after a long hard day you just kind of want to enjoy your scent like "wow I really worked hard today". I know I'm super super weird but I don't really care. Yes women stink too.
I have no idea how I got here. I think I should just go now.10 ReplyHappiness is temporary, it's an easy fix, just do some drugs or party like a loony. Nen do not strive for happiness, we strive for fulfilment. Of course people have the cumdunpster outlook on life, but that's a path straying away from sustainability. To answer your question, we can be happy single or together with a girl, but we will never be fulfilled, unless us men get a woman to make children and start a family. It's proven with numerous studies that true fulfilment is only achieved only when women and men start a family together.

+1 yYes and No. It has always been easy for me to get into relationships and always get into a relationship after the last one. I've been single for over a year and need a little break from dating. Taking a break from dating has been nice for me. I can focus on myself, do whatever I want to do, exercise whenever I want, focus more on my career, not have to worry about putting more effort in a relationship, and not have to worry about a person treating me like crap. The single life now has been good for me, but I'll probably get back into dating probably in the next few years. I just want me time and take a break from dating.

+1 yYeah, I'm happy being single.
I don't have to worry about the other person. Being hurt or hurting them.
I have no obligations and no one expects me to maybe deepen the relationship, get kids or do something else.
No fighting because of the division of chores or the amount or quality of sex.10 Reply - 444 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
+1 yWhile I'm currently married, I realized 7 months into it that it was a mistake.
That being said, and the easiest way I can explain it is that when I reflect back on my life, it was the times that I was single that I remember the most fondly. Some relationships were good, others not, but being single was even better. If it weren't for our overwhelming sex drive, I don't think many men would see much value in romantic relationships.
Sorry.10 Reply
+1 yI'm happy being single, but I would be happier in a steady relationship. You have to be happy within yourself to be a whole person when joining in a a relationship. Another person cannot "complete you." You must be happy with yourself to truly be happy in a relationship. Otherwise another person controls your happiness. That being said, when you are in a relationship, it is nice to know that you have plans on the weekend.
00 ReplyI’m happy single because I don’t regret breaking up with my ex, nor have I met anyone yet I want to be in a relationship with. Im happy and I’m focussed on myself.
HOWEVER - I want a boyfriend and I feel like im finally ready after going through a horrendous break up last year. I just need to meet the guy for me first.00 ReplyI just do other things relationships are too much work for me right now. Sometimes I miss having someone soo close to me but then I remember being annoyed from constantly having to talk to her and dealing with her feelings and all the other things related to being in a relationship

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yYes, I can do whatever I like.
When I was in my previous relationship, he always looks not so enthusiastic about my interest (planting flowers, old music, history, vintage paintings, baking……)
When I invited him to join me, he didn’t reject me but looks unwillingly
It makes me upset, so I tried to do something he like such as video games or… you know, man stuff
But I don’t really like it, so we broke up cuz we are tired of doing something we don’t like to please each other.
I don’t mind to get into a new relationship.
Maybe I just need someone who has the same interest? However, it’s a little difficult to find guys like this (At least I haven’t met)
So I guess being single will be more comfortable and happier for me.00 Reply
+1 yI guess? I do like my independence, as in my home, my rules, my money and everything where I left it but at the same time, I wouldn't mind sharing it with the right man. And I know that he exists because I already found one. Just have to find a second one.
00 ReplyI was a deserted island survival in singleplayer mode single when growing up.
Then i needed a notebook to make sure i wasn't dating more than one girl at a time. Usually less than a week single in between
Now i have beem with my girlfriend for over 10 years.
I like my alone time, so pretty much a popular loner these days.
I kind of never got to live alone for a while, kind of miss it.00 Reply346 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'm happy whether married or single. And, why wouldn't I be? I'm in good health, I have friends and family. I'm educated with a good job and income adequate for all the necessities with enough remaining for a little to invest and spend on things that I enjoy.

+1 yYes. I figured it's better to enjoy my peace than being stressed in a relationship. When I dated I felt even lonelier, I despised myself because apparently I was never good enough.
I learned it doesn't mean I'm worth nothing just because a person doesn't value me, besides life has a lot of good things to offer apart from a relationship: family, friends, good food, travelling, professional satisfaction, etcetera.00 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI’m not single, but I think it’s very important to experience being single every once in awhile. My friend is not good at that. Jumps from relationship to relationship. She has everything she wants. And she’s still not happy. Probably because she depends on others for happiness and not herself. Sad.

I've got so many marriage proposal via arranged marriages I refused them all. Coz I know they're interested in my money not in me coz before that women did not use to treat me well due to my looks. In short I don't have good experiences with women in my past. I was falsely accused by them.

On the other side I enjoy having the freedom of choice, no compromises, freedom to do what I want and no being bond to a person00 Reply What about not having a boyfriend means you aren't loved? It seems you are limiting the way you can feel loved to one role in your life. That is very limited. At the very least you should figure out the ways and things you love about yourself.
