For Every Person Who Wishes S/he Were In A Relationship...

There are 10 others who wish they were single!

I'm not hating on relationships (I'd love to be in one, the right one, lol). Just wanted to encourage those of you who aren't quite happy at being single today.

I agree. I'm not bitter about relationships either and hope to find a compatible fella one day but there were days I'd cry because I was so miserable being married. I felt trapped and knew I deserved better.
When I have thoughts about wishing I wasn't alone, I remember that nasty feeling I'd get. I rather be alone and sometimes miserable then with someone and always miserable.

^^This! I wasnt married but in a horrible, horrible relationship for two years. I promised myself I would rather be single for the rest of my life than put myself in that situation again!

Thanks for that. Sometimes, I get depressed that I'm single. Like yesterday for example. From now on, when that happens, I'll think of what you posted here. :-)

aww, don't stay depressed about yesterday! just think of how many miserable husbands tried hard to please their wives only to get the ungrateful, "You never do anything right" speech.

All I really know for certain is that I was miserable being married, and so was my ex wife. Both of us are much happier people now that we are no longer married to each other. One day I would like to meet the absolute right one, but unless that happens this being single is just fine with me. I like to think that there could be one very special person but I dont feel that my life is any less because I dont have someone anyone right now.

This is what some of my married friends tell me...they would love to be in my shoes again. But I would love to be in their's. However, like you said it is VERY important to me to be with the right one. My famous line is "if I can't find a good man, I will at least raise one to be a good man" So far so good, he's almost 14, and an absolute gentleman, charming, and handsome too!!! I also have a spunky 6 yr old boy who is the complete opposite of his brother, I think its because he's only 6 though...LOL

Better to be lonely sometimes than miserable all the time.

Same here. I wasn't married but I lived with someone for a while who made my life hell. I wished I was back where I was before I met him, now I am. I got what I wished for so even though I sometimes feel lonely, I'm way better off than I was. No more walking on eggshells to avoid fights, the occasional lonely feeling is better than a constant one with the wrong person.

Thanks, glad I read this post today. Feeling down about being single - weekends can do that sometimes.

I've been single longer than I've been married, but not by choice. My husband died of pneumonia and a kidney infection. Marriage is never perfect by any standard because it deals with people. I loved being married, but being single with 2 little ones (who are no longer little) made me stronger and rely on the grace of God. I am strong as a single, but would love to be held in the strong arms of a man who loves me unconditionally.
