I'm kinda over being single right now. Getting sick of doing things by myself. Need some fun and excitement.

I am absolutely happy being single, have been for a long time because I haven't met anyone I would give it up for. However, I do miss companionship.

I don't have the actual article but decades ago I ran across an article that asked (are you happy)
The results: From happy to miserable were:

Married men
Single women
single men
married women

Couldn't find the article but did run into this from psychcentral.com

Bottom Line

The combined results of 18 long-term studies showed that getting married did not make people any happier and that satisfaction with the relationship actually decreased over time. The only hint of a benefit was a brief increase in life satisfaction around the time of the wedding, which soon went away. All of these failures to find that getting married makes you happier came from a set of studies biased in favor of making marriage look better than it really is.

I was in a 15 year relationship. We lived apart for the first 10 years, which were bliss, at which point I decided I wanted him to make a commitment and move in with me with retirement on the horizon. That began 2 years of renovations and then 3 years of breaking up (w/renovations for fun on the side).

What I am proposing is that you join the many celebrity couples who are LAT's (Living Apart Together's). You get the best of both worlds and – best of all - you get to keep your own space, if you can, that is. It depends on if it is feasible where you live.

silly question. some women are happier being single and some aren't. you can't accurately generalize about women that way!
