Im single, because few women can live up to my awesome standards. And that's cool, but, I suppose it'd be nice to not be a monk or whatever from time to time. I just can't bring myself to bang less than perfect chicks.
I'm single.
Sometimes I miss the reliability and security that a partner would bring me. Then I remember the girls I've dated and what their version of "reliable security" was. That's not to say they were bad people or bad girls - but they weren't as concerned about taking care of each other as I would have liked us to have been.
Sometimes I miss the companionship and the strength it can lend me to be with a girl I care about.
But it also takes a lot of time, work, and something almost always fucks it up anyway.
And to be honest, other than the slightly lower frequency of sex I'm experiencing, I am in fact, happy. I like my own space, my own life - no one fucks it up or does dumb shit. When I want to be around someone I am, and when I don't I can do that and it's okay.
I'm my priority, and honestly... I do miss girls. They're soft and they smell nice. Sometimes yeah, I get lonely - but overall, life is better here. When I give it fair thought I find myself thinking, "But you know, I really am happy."
Yeah, I'm single.
And yes, I'm happy. I prefer it this way, and it will take a special gal indeed to make me feel otherwise. When she comes along, I'll greet her with open arms. For now, it's time to belch, crack a beer at 10 AM, stick my hand in my pants, and watch the same football game I've already watched three times instead of taking out the trash - and no one is going to bitch at me about it.
Yeah, life's pretty good here.
I just noticed the votes. Granted there aren't many yet, but the two leading categories (tied) are:
Single and happy
Married and unhappy
This is most unfortunate, and is exactly why I don't intend to change my status until the right person enters my life. If more people did this, they'd find better partners and people would raise their own standards of behavior. That's neither here nor there, though. In my case, I simply don't wish to join the contrary majority here. I'd much rather be where I am than where you guys are.
I do wish you the best in your plight, however.
I've been married for 7 years and it's been the most happy time of my life. I'm much more happy now than when I was single or just in a relationship with someone.
Was married and completely miserable... finally got the balls to get a divorce and I didn't know how miserable I actually was!!
Im in a relationship and happy.

Divorced, with a live in g/f, who is divorced also. I'm not crazy happy in it, but I'm not waiting to die either. I have been known to stray from this relationship on occasion.
married for 2years but together for 12. we got through all the rough shit early on while still in college. now we're just two people sharing a life together. that doesn't sound too appealing, but its nice. theres comfort in it. i do miss my own space, but we're great about giving all the space that is needed to keep each other happy.
I will have been married 13 years in 21 days, unlike most of our friends and family. My brother has been married 11 times, 3 times to the same woman. Yet he calls me a dumbass...
Rock on firereign! I am single (happily divorced) and my new GF is gorgeous mocha cream skinned black girl, 32.

I hate my wife. I want to say I love her and all that crap, but when it comes down to brass tacks, I hate the woman.
I stay with her so I can take care of my handicapped son. She's awful at taking care of him, and if she got him every other weekend or something, he'd seriously hurt himself, or die, as a result of her care.
That's the hard truth of my life.
