? Being single never felt so good ?

Some times being out of romantic relationships feels really good ... would you agree ?

What parts about it do you like?

There is a LOT to love 'bout travelling solo agreed

My last long-term, very serious relationship was hard to lose. I hated being single for a few months. After that, I loved it. Being single is more natural to me than being paired with someone. I get skiddish about relationships until I've had time to accept the changes a relationship will cause in my life.

I had a couple other girlfriends afterwards that I wasn't happy with at all.

Whenever I think back to the one girl, who scared the shit out of me recently by trying to get back in touch, I appreciate being single even more. What a piece of work. I should've listened to everybody who told me she was bad news. Being single sure beats being shackled to someone like that.

Yes. But I can't stay single too long. Too much Libra here.

Been married for a decade...dunno...l think it was awesome yeah. Society probably decided l'd had too much fun tho

Not sure I'd enjoy traveling solo (for fun... do it all the time for work of course).

It is awfully nice to have all of your money, time, and obligations be your own though. Do what you want, how you want, on whatever budget you want... no need to consult anybody else when you happen to find a vintage 50s, 60s, or 1970s guitar at a bargain price... etc. 🙂 Low stress.

Nah I hate being single. But just gotta get on with it.

It's not that bad once you start enjoying life doing the things you enjoy the most

I suppose lately all I've been doing is working. But I was single for years and did what I enjoyed, still hated being single. Just how I feel.

It's not for everyone, understandable

For me, being single is better than being in a bad relationship, but not better than being in a good relationship.

Taurus Venus House III; you know your answer.

You hate being single

That makes sense!

I've been single for about a year now. Not because it is difficult for me to find a bf, but because I'm not going to get with just anyone right away.

For me, being in a relationship; you're investing your heart, mind, body and soul, and most importantly your life to someone else as they are hopefully doing the same for you. It takes a lot to be in a relationship. No relationship is easy, but it can be less stressful if you're with the right person that you share more in common with/ compatible with.

Do I miss being in a relationship? Sometimes. And other times, I'm ok with being single because I'm not dealing with the headaches and bs that one would deal with when you're with the wrong person at the time. I would like to be in one again someday and hopefully by then; it is with someone I can grow with, succeed with, and enjoy life with. Till then, I'll keep enjoying my life, my success, my friends, etc.

My thoughts exactly.

I was severely lonely and depressed the last year of my long term relationship. I was so lonely. I remember that vividly. And the times I have been terribly lonely single were still not nearly as bad. It's much more painful to be paired up and lonely than single and alone.

Overall I'm enjoying being single more than ever. I still would prefer a partner and close friend to being single the rest of my life.

I can relate.

Also, there was one relationship that I was in that was so stressful at a certain point that the anxiety I was experiencing daily from it was worse than anything I'd ever experienced in my life. One day I was walking somewhere and I suddenly had a flash in my mind of myself years later if I stayed in the relationship - of what that could do to me, and how I'd be looking back and wishing I'd gotten out sooner. It stopped me in my tracks literally. I knew without question that I had to get out of the relationship ASAP.

Both have their advantages

I had a moment exactly like that right after my ex proposed. I'd been questioning for months if I should leave or not before he proposed. It took having a poignant moment where I saw a negative trajectory to really make sense though. When I love someone it's easy for my affection to overrule good sense.

Which makes you nervous to be in a relationship again and become very happy and content being single. So full circle on the dating cycle lol.

It's good that you realized it in time and you could make the right choice for yourself. The poignant moments are so important to heed -- truly a gift to have them. :-).

In contrast, a friend of mine realized a few very negative things about someone he had proposed to, but the wedding was already planned by that time. He went through with the marriage so he wouldn't lose face with his relatives (who had been invited to the ceremony). Looking back, he wished that he hadn't been so concerned about that and he had called everything off - the woman he married turned out to be even worse than what he had picked up on.

Been single forever.

I think working on myself is the best I can do.

I don't know what it's like to have someone to want you. I never receive that from someone.

It's always about convenience for some people.

I may want to have this in my life however I don't think I can offer enough to someone else.

I never feel like I can measure up.

Therefore, I'm single and doing other things to keep my mind busy.

I see there's a lot of happy single people here I'm glad because after reading several threads of difficult relationships I thought the majority of people here struggled in theirs.
