Staying "alone" ( alone and surrounded with kids)

Philippines
June 22, 2019 7:57am CST
As a solo parent of three boys, i've been hearing a lot from everyone (lately) "you're still young, you look okay, you should find someone special now, widen your horizon"... They're so excited for me to enter in a new relationship... but me, i am happy with the freedom i have now, and being in a relationship is not my priority right now. My priorities are my kids and what they need. Do we really have to be in a relationship to be "happy"?

If you are happy than stay single. God made each of us differently and unique. What works for you might not work for another and vice versa-that's perfectly okay! =)

I am also a single mother with two girls. I don't feel the need of having another relationship since I am busy taking care of them and making a living.

Everyone is different and everyone's idea of happiness is different. Go with what pleases you.

We don't need a relationship to enjoy life.

Yeah, we don't need someone to complete us... we are already complete

@MrsPumpkins You do not have to be in a relationship to be happy. If you are ok alone raising your boys then why get in a relationship. Some really like to be alone and do not need a man or woman around like others think they do.

I don't think so. Worst thing is when you are in relationship but you are not Happy.

Yeah, I've been into that for almost 13 years... just to be defined as a complete family... it was just a very toxic relationship
