Do you think you need a partner to be really happy?

Someone or something else can not make me happy, only I can make me happy. So weather alone or with someone my happiness depends on myself and no one else. Now I can be disappointed in someones actions or hurt by them but at the end of the day I am responsible for my happiness.

Now there was a time that I thought I had to have a man in my life to be happy, if there was not someone by my side I would be miserable. Then I got divorced and moved across the country knowing one person. I was so happy, and I was alone. This was one of the happiest times of my life in fact.

i believe we can all be happy without a partner.

having not married (yet) and having spent quite a lot of time single i can assure you that life can be good, if not better without a partner.

you are free to do what you want whenever you want, you are free to date whenever you want and you answer to no one.

having a partner has its obvious advantages but i really dont think it's essential.

too many people marry because they are scared of being alone, this causes heartbreak in many cases. i believe we will all eventually find the right partner, in the meantime single people should enjoy their freedom: )

There are many things happening in this world and you will find at least one person being happy in each aspect of life. I mean we might see a handicap person living his life with happiness or a person who don't have parents but still he is happy.

So, it is not important what others are doing in their life. That lady might say that she is happy but she might have taken some steps which must be heart breakening for her.

Hence, why choosing the tough path of life? Why can't we live life in a traditional way. Just because we get hurt by someone, doesn't mean that we should start thinkig about living alone.

One of my teacher told me, "You can see the bright portion of a student who always comes first in his class but you can't see the dark portion of it. S/he must be working hard to get there."!

you dont need partner to make you happy, any one close to you can make you happy

ofcourse we can be happy even without a partner, but you can be much happy if you have a partner which is very much loving with you. but if you have a partner that always make you in trouble so this is a bad thing, therefore, it is much better to be a single rather than have a partner.

I think there is true to it, But you
can also be happy being single.

hi laydee, I think that this media person is right. I am happy, and I am single. Have no desire of having a partner in my life. I have friends, lots of friends so I do not feel I am alone...I feel it is so nice to come home to your home knowing that you can relax and just do what I want to do, not what someone els want me to do. I can take the day as it comes....and do the nessesary things when I feel like it.

I can imagine the people think of this as strange...my family members always ask me when am I going to have a partner in my life again (divorced since 9 years back). I have been there, done it and no more...I am just happy as I am...so as this media persona said....you do not need a partner to be happy...

If you are not happy alone, with your own self, then you arent going to be happy with someone else. alone, doesnt mean sadness, there are many things that we can do. my boyfriend always say ""cheer up!!", hehe. life is beautiful, its a gift from god, we really have to make it beautiful.
Happy mylotting and smile always!

I am happy without a partner. Most men are pigs and would dribe me nuts leaving up the toilet eat, splashin up the bathroom mirror while whadhing their hands or brushing their teeth. folding the hand towel in fours before handing up, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, not filling the ice cube trays, taking the remote with them in the kitchen and LEAVING it there only to not remember what they did with it and making sure at least 7 out of 10 lights are left on all day while no one is at home. I would be in JAIL! Men are pigs. They can call me and make a date and I will meet them someplace. DO NOT arrive at my house and dirty it up in 3 minutes when it took me four hours to clean it. OOOOPPS sorry for the rant.

Yes, I think I need a partner to be really happy.
