>Can people be single and happy?

I have been single all the time,and at 42 I have gotten used to it so much

that the institution called "marriage" does not interest me at all...

Single and Happy

I would rather be plural and Happy

I was single and lived on my own until I was 28, then was married six weeks short of 15 years. Now I have been single for five years. I feel qualified to offer my opinion. Blondie has it right. Happy is inside not outside. We tell ourselves what will make us happy. At this time I'm happy with my traveling lifestyle. This may change in the future. I may meet someone I really want to be with all the time. As a young man the women had all the power in relationships. Now the older ladies see their options are limited. The competition from the young ladies, their choices in men, the realization that the number of times they are going to get laid in finite hits them. Now I'm in the driver seat. In summery, make your circumstances work for you. Maverick

I have to agree with you that happiness comes within. No one in this world can make you happy but yourself. I think it is the dysfunctional, Jdub religious mind set that makes us believe that happiness comes from an outside source. As soon as we realize that we are whole and complete in ourselves than can we attain true happiness. I would like someone to be a partner to me not someone that I lean on for everything.

I think people can be single and happy for sure! Especially as a jw, I saw so many get married right at 18 or whatever...never a good idea.

But really you have to be comfortable and happy with yourself and then you will be fine. I know people wanting to rush into marriage and I ask why? The work really begins the day you get married. It is no easy deal or any fairytale. It can be tough if you don't truly have the right person.

If you can't be happy single, you're not ready for a relationship. Guns don't kill people, single people with guns kill themselves. A bird in hand beats two in the bush. Etcetera etcetera etcetera~!

True Story - My mother had 2 Aunts. Out of the 3 sisters (2 aunts + grandmother) only my grandmother married. The other 2 remained single (didn't even date or anything) their entire lives. Both the single women lived well into their 90's - very happily I might add! My grandmother died before she was 70!
