For me it's good to be single, with dependents that is. Like me I am single but I've got kids to play with and laugh with everytime I'm down and lonely. Husbands or partners are for me, a hassle. I'm the kind of person who loves to be alone most of the time and having them in my life is kind of a big obligation in a sense. And it's good to be single especially when you love to do adventure stuff since no one would stop you to whatever that is you want to do with your life.

I agree with you to a point. I got divorced when my daughter was young and I didn't mind the single life much. I could do as I please, hang with her. Clean house, not clean house if I didn't feel like. Whatever I felt like. I don't know how old your kids are, but when my daughter turned 15 (she's 16 now) she left me. I mean, she still lives with me, but it was all about the friends, hanging out, and then whatever sport or club she was in at the time. I can't remember when we had a normal meal at the table. And now that she's 16 and able to work, it's worse. She's not home on weekends for dinner or our regular hang out days like before. I find myself wondering what to do now. Now hopefully, this is just my case and you will not experience that. Maybe you have more than one kid and you will still have hang out buddies as others get older. But this has been my experience. However, as depressing as my situation may sound, I'm still glad that I didn't bring another person around when she was younger as it would have taken that quality time away from she and I. So I give you a big thumbs up for your decision.

I agree that sometimes is good to be single no one going to bother you. Sometimes I feel lonely and envy to those who have bf or husband. I think having a relationship is very complicated and I prefer to be single for now.

if I don't get married,I would very much prefer to have a child of my own.it is much better than getting married just because I got pregnant.or worse,getting married because of pressure.I am one of those few women who are scared of longtime commitment like marriage.I don't like somebody dictating what I should or shouldn't do.

I have to laugh because you sound so much like me. I'm always joking about how I'd be the perfect wife for a traveling salesman or maybe a long distance trucker. The more gone they are, the more I like it.
