Pros of being Single

Are you happy being single? I am! I do not need to be in a relationship with anyone to be happy or content with myself and/or my life. I am happy cuddling with my 2 year old daughter at night time. I am happy rolling over to my 2 year old and telling her good morning. I am happy just making a meal for my kids and I. I am happy that I do not have to hear snoring at night or arguing with someone through out the day. I do not care what you say everybody have arguments in their relationship with whomever. I do not have to get dressed and look appropriate if I do not want to. I am happy that I do not have to worry about what my significant other is doing when he is not around me and I am grateful that I o not have to deal with someone asking me a million and one questions about my whereabouts. I do not have to walk around the house because someone is there that is getting on my last nerves. Being single is not the way I will be forever but it is my current situation for now and I am cool with.

You have no reason not to be happy. Happiness is a choice and I read something that says to be happy you shouldn't have a reason for it, coz when that reason is gone, happiness will too.

I do agree and happiness comes from with in. You have to be happy with yourself before trying to be happy with someone else.

We have the power to choose if we want to be happy or not. It is always better to choose happiness for it is good. Life should not be wasted by focusing much attention on things that give us negative emotions.

Being single is like being captain of your own ship. You answer to no one and can eat when you want and watch what you want.

Those are some of the important aspects that I enjoy while being single because when you become official things quickly change.

You have more freedom to do what you want and be able to enjoy yourself. Don't get me wrong I do not think that being in a relationship is all bad. There are just things that you can do as a single person that you cannot do being in a relationship or being married.

OMG that would be great! I bet it wouldn't be a free down load. I wonder how much would they charge for the app. Food For Thought.

I hear ya. I've been single for more years in my adult life than with a partner. And to be honest its much easier. Perhaps I haven't found the right person yet who accepts me for who I am and has enough of a life of their own to give me my own space.

No see, I'm the opposite. I have been in relationships more than I have been single. I have not even been single long so far, but all I know is that it feels good at this moment.

I think the benefit is from financial side. because unless you have strong job. marriage can't be that easy. because if both partners are working then things can be good enough. otherwise too hard.

I loved being single too and then I thought I wanted to be married again after 20 yrs. I was wrong, I was happier being single.

I honestly love the fact that I do not have to be around anyone unless I choose to because I remember days when I was in a relationship and all I wanted was for my boyfriend to exit the scene.

It's good if you can be content on your own if that's what life is at the moment.

You can be happy if it is your choice to stay single. If you just single but does not want to you will not be happy i think

That is what we call "positivity". So rather than harbor on sad and disappointing matters, it is much better to look for the bright side of life. It has so much to offer. This is a wonderful life and we have to spend it to its fullest because life is short. Be thankful always and think that everything happens for a reason. God has a big plan for you.

It depends on the situations of one's life but i am happy that you don't need anyone to complete you as you feel happy with your daughter only. Wish you good luck.

I think you are such a strong lady.. Cause in life whatever we do we need somebody to share our feelings.... We need to suggest and advice to each other but being single is just another fun and it shows how strong you are from inside..
