If you are single are you happy being that way?

Single, and I hate it.

All depends on the terms and conditions really. Do have waves of depression hit me sometimes whether it's the right rock songs or watching TV or movies, other than that I manage pretty well.

I am single, and wouldn't have it any other way. Relationships are more trouble than they are worth.

I have been married several times, and I like being single better than being married.

I am now. I was married for 6 years and my ex eventually so complicated my life that it was 24/7 just to keep the two of us alive and fed. Now, I must reprioritize on myself and finally finish the bachelor's degree I've been working on for 20 years. Maybe after I've ironed myself out, I'll be on the prown again. But, I have no idea how I'd balance work and night school right now with a girlfriend. The pressure would be intolerable.

Why yes....


And I'll tell you why.
Its probably because I had a young marriage, young birth, young widowing, series of rapes. And I'm not 'technically' single. I mean I am, but I am a mother and so I am not living/experiencing 'singly'. And this has been a loooooooooooong partnership. So, I haven't yet experienced a 'singling' experience, and I imagine that within a few years of when this happens in a few years I will tire of aloneness-but for right now, I am very happy to not have the additonal complications that inevitiably come with a mate-being the object of anothers judgement in the things I do and the way I am, having to tell him his butt stinks, having to smell his butt when it stinks, worrying about the relationships that take him down destructive paths. ect ect.

I'm just not ready for more work.
Your pretty cute by the way.

I'd like a partner, preferably aspie. I've been alone, most of my life, and it's getting old (as am I).

SeaBright,
How wonderful we are on a forum we can mention our rapes with out engendering shock or cringing from others, but we are allowed the respect by our fellows to just state our realities.

Thank you all for letting us tell it like it is.

no

I am, until I find that special someone in Victoria BC, who likes the same things I do. I've lost the Punk image but i'm keeping my natrual speech patterns which sound very simular to the Cockney Dialect. I'm sure that I'll find a cute softy like me, Baby.

I am single, and accepting of it. When I was a single mom, I longed for someone to lessen the load, but knew that the chance of some guy wanting to help me raise my child was slim, at best. Then I got her all raised and off on her own, thinking that I would then look into a relationship. But I had gotten used to my freedom, which I have come to value above a relationship.

I would consider a single mother just as much as I would consider anybody else. I'm tried to start a relationship with some, but they said I was too young or too innocent.

I am single, but I don't just want a girlfriend. I want someone who I am destined to spend the rest of my life with.

I'm single and that's best for me. I need some companionship but not a lot, and certainly not full-time. Maybe I could try being a golf-widow.

Relationships are s**t.. and the guys tend to get all soppy at that stage. No thanks.
