If you were to choose, would you be happier married or single?
I found out I create my own happiness. So, single always seems to work out better for me. I date and stuff but intimately I seem better off single. I've married twice and both ended in divorce. I was part of the problem I admit, but not all of it. Some just weren't meant to be married.
I absolutely enjoy being in a relationship with the right person. Otherwise being single brings far less misery. The status of that relationship doesn't matter so much as long as it's one that involves singular commitment aside from themselves.
For me, it's married. But I'm an old fart. And divorced. I've just always liked to have someone to share with, someone readily available, to say "Hey! Look at that!" or "Wow, wasn't that great?" or "Man, that sucks!" Or someone to talk to about what I've been thinking about, and help me to clarify it. All that stuff. A companion. I had one for 30-odd years, and would like to have one now.
Depends on the partner.
Each has its benefits.
