Default Single But Not Struggling

I've been in a few serious relationships, and I've found that I actually prefer being single and dating casually. Are there any other happy singles out there?

I'm neither, but I was just thinking how lucky we are to have the choice to remain single if we wish. It wasn't that long ago that a woman single through choice was thought most peculiar.

What is your idea of dating casually?

Well good for you! A lot of things have gone downhill over the past few decades but this isn't one of them... it's totally accepted now and that's a good thing.

My granddad died in the thirties and left my granny a widow for nearly sixty years. After she raised her kids, I think she became so used to doing things her way that she never wanted to marry again. I think, though she mourned her husband, that she felt she had a pretty good life she had made all on her own. Her advice? Learn something you can get paid well doing, and never depend on any man.

You have learned to be content with yourself and your situation and that is a good thing. I like being married but I respect your choice.

I agree that someone who's single isn't necessarily "struggling."

Hopefully everyone will find happiness in their situation. I know a few people who are still seeking that happiness though, and some are single and some are married.

I think that it is great that you are happy and independent. I am married but I think that it is great when you hear that anyone is happy with there life. Makes it so much better all around.

Good point there... marriage doesn't automatically make someone have a happy life for sure. I think more single people are realizing that and making their own happiness in their situation.

I was happy being married at first and then later we were both not so happy so rather then living a dishonest life we left the situation on a friendly manner (I left him in Onterio) and I stayed single and started my own business in BC.
I don't regret the marriage for the most part but I think it was not for me anyway. The single life was kind of fun even tho I would not date at first because of my business. I did the dating thing for a while after I sold the business, enjoyed that for a while and now am in a commonlaw relationship and so far we are both happy with it and would not change a thing.
You might be happy right now and might find some other situation later but as long as you are happy at the time, that is what is important. You could stay single and dating for many years and if that makes you feel your best then no matter what anyone else says you have it where you want it.
People ask us all the time when the kids are coming and when we are getting married, we just say never, next question???

Being a single man I can tell you that it's not that bad as people think it might be...It saves a lot of time which I utilize on my study and business...
