Stay single. Don’t give in to society

I truly feel the key to being happy and content is being single. Sure, relationships may be exciting at the beginning, but how many people are truly happy in them? All you hear is about cheating, drama, stress...

Being single is ultimate freedom and it’s far more important and fulfilling to have friends than a spouse.

My husband and I are truly happy in our 7 year marriage. Truly.

We have grown together, had amazing experiences together, laugh every day together and are now parents to a beautiful daughter, together.

Different strokes.

If that works for you, fantastic. But right now you're the equivalent of the guy who stands on the corner near skytrain stations and tries to tell everyone they need to find jesus.

Needle in a haystack

I'm happy alone, but I'm happier when I have a partner that gets me and who I also get in return on all the levels that really matter at the end of the day. It's a needle in a haystack. Not finding that needle often ends up as you said.

for you, it is necessary to be single in order to be happy.
It certainly isn’t for everyone.
I’m not sure where you get your assumption that societal pressure is motivating most, or all, people who do get married.
I’m happily married. In my personal experience, relationships that are “exciting” are not always significant, but when you feel almost immediately at ease and completely comfortable with someone, that means you’ve found something special.

Happy until...

I have had a lovely, absolutely cherished relationship with my partner of 9 years. Sadly now he is dying of cancer. I feel sad that you cannot possibly see any positive relationships. However, I relate to what you are saying. When I am a widow in a few months, I don't think anyone else will make me as happy as he has. Ever. It's devastating.

I’m 20 years in with my person and I’m pretty happy. No kids. Didn’t “give in”, just happened to meet someone.

While I am definitely pro-single

I do believe that there are a few truly happy couples.

My view is stay single unless you meet someone who you have amazing compatibility with.
People will say good relationships take work, but if it's more work than enjoyable, it's not a great match.
I'm not talking about perfect, but as close as you can get.

Speak for yourself; I want a divorce.
Sorry.
