serene56: Yeah, that I don't get why some men think that because a woman says she's happily single, she's turned into a man-hating, self-sufficient hermaphrodite Maybe they need to examine their own sense of masculinity and self-esteem issues
Don't you know women can't be happy without a man to look after them
allthegoodnamest: Yeh but you're talking heavyweight division now. Your fighting talk will only inspire me to greater heights.
Hmm, it appears you think you like a challenge, yet deep inside, you're a traditional, old-fashioned male who prefers a woman who is ultra-feminine, someone who's submissive and marches to the beat of your drum....
Or reacts appreciatively when you thump your Tarzan chest at least

Don't believe everything you read in the papers.
In fact, your not a million miles away from what I'm looking for.
lindsyjones: I am sure either situation provides ups and downs but at the current stage of your life, which would you prefer to be? Alone? Or with someone?
lindsyjones: My first time to see you pretty welcome
Of course that is most fitting for me too. Having said that I'm sure there's a lot of happiness that married people can claim to happiness. My 30 years I have had plenty specially with the whole family. Our travels Easter or simply for them running into our bed everymorning.
Joy I am so sorry it is only now that I have read your post. And all the other post for that matter.
Anyways, yes indeed. There are a lot of pluses and minuses on either direction. But if the one I am with, which happened twice is not to my journey of being comfortably happy. I would rather be single.
In which case is where I am at the moment.
Anyways, I was married for 30 years to a nice man and that sustained so much happiness including raising our beautiful and 4 lovely children.
headghasket42: "happier being with someone".. i feel happiness has to come from self. i feel if u are unhappy being in your own company, u won't be much good for your partner. otherwise, your partner may sense this and the relationship could turn codependent. right now, would i be any happier with somebody, i'm not sure?? less lonely...maybe.....
Happiness comes from different directions and of course the most natural source with be from the self first. But we are all created for the reason of reciprocal tendencies, and being that, we are naturally bound to have someone to be with.
My point on this is that relationship sometimes can be very complex. I know a couple for instance who very much love each other, but they can never live in the same house. I gather from them that they are happier meeting every now and then live as single persons.
I am not referring to this. I am more in the parallel points of either you are with someone as husband and wife, sharing everything and or single and be on your own.
I do agree with you. Self sourced happiness makes a person very balanced and well in tuned with happiness.
Thea, I am sure he is referring about me. But if he thinks his opinion counts Thea? No way. I would just make sure that he is never going to come any close to me.
I am most definitely being so happy as a single, too Serene.
Boy you remember my story, I hope. The most tumultuous love I had from your place. Yet I don't have any regrets. It happened for a reason and took all the credits of my experience. But looking back at the moment, I am so glad it happened and over.
