❤ You'll find the right person faster, if can say 'no' to the wrong people quicker

The most important relationship that you'll ever have is the relationship that you have with yourself first.❤

It’s not a failure to be single. It can be an active choice, to focus on happiness, with man or not 💕

People often think being single means being lonely and in pain, but that's not true for me. I've been single and celibate since 2001, after ending a 15-year relationship. We never lived together, and I’ve never experienced cohabitating with a partner. Before that I had fleeting relationships. Since then, I’ve had a couple of brief attractions, but nothing serious—just a brief and regrettable make-out session in 2009.

The only times I feel lonely are when I listen to old songs that remind me of my parents and other relatives who’ve passed away. Regret creeps in not because I’m single but because I didn't spend more time with my mom and aunts. I lived and took care of my special brother and Dad for seven years before they passed in 2019 and last year. I love my Dad and brother and I don't hate men. But I see relationships as more trouble than they’re worth—having to cook, clean, and care for someone else doesn’t appeal to me. I love having my space to read, paint, and play the piano without interruptions. No kids, no partner—just me and my independence.

I’m close with four other single ladies, though I rarely see them, even the two who live nearby. I don’t join clubs or socialize much—I'm pretty content on my own. I live in a rural area, in a big house and big lot with two Shih Tzus, seven turkeys, and ten cats. My neighbors, including my widowed sister, are blocks away. As a professor, I get my social fix from interacting with students and colleagues. By the time I’m home, I’m ready to unwind in peace and listen to the sound of crickets at night and I'm at bliss.

I love my independence. If I ever want someone in my life, it’s more for support when I’m tired or when I think about growing old. Sometimes I'd wish for a partner when I need help with practical things like fixing the plumbing and roof or yard work. But I manage just fine. I’m not interested in sex or a relationship unless I'm watching a romantic drama, and even then, the feeling is rare. So when my divorced high school ex came back from the US and is trying to rekindle things, I told our mutual friend to not bother me with it. They say he's a good catch with that fat military pension, but honestly, the thought of living with someone isn't worth it—even for the money. Because overall, I’m happy, and adding someone else to the mix wouldn’t make me any happier—my happiness bar is already full. Sorry or the long comment but writing about this is validating what I feel. Thanks.

As soon as I made peace with myself being alone (28 years ago), I found my person. Wishing the best for everyone in the comments!

I think many of us have been there, feeling like love is just out of reach. It’s important to remember that being single can also be a time of incredible growth and self-discovery.💖✨

As long you're happy I think it doesn't matter.

25 years single the Happiest part of my life. I do what I want & talk to whoever I want to.😂

[EdelweisSusie]

When I look back over my life, every partner I’ve nurtured through times of strife, upheaval, debt, job loss etc has abandoned me and gone on to be successful with a woman who’s reaping the benefit of what I went through hell to create, not having contributed anything at all. And here I am, single, lonely and facing old age alone - no man even looks my way any more. If I had my life to do over, I’d leave THEM to deal with their sh*t and move on myself. Please learn from my mistakes.

Wow! Thank you ! I’m literally heading out the door right now to my FIRST DATE NOW after ending a 3-year engagement at 58. I love Matthew Hussey! Love you so much Mel! This was the “head shake” I needed! ❤❤

[laurahill]

I was single for years and years so I built this great life for myself, I remember thinking one day how happy I was and the same day I met my soul mate …. Totally true story!

[Tinih-ndrr]

I agree. I’m alone not lonely. I like being by myself rt now at this stage of my life. Desperate people end up in toxic relationships

There is no loneliness a bubble bath candles a glass of wine and music can't solve. Pamper yourself. ❤️

[penniroyal]

I am single but not lonely. I have a lovely family of adult daughters. 3 granddaughters 1 in college. 1 in a junior in high schools d little 4 year old granddaughter. I am not lonely and have friends and people I see regularly. I enjoy my life as being well balanced between family, friends and alone time for me to do what I want to do.

[tamerastone]

Best advice, I've heard on a long time!!!! I'm so there!

[JDfaith]

I’ve said no to the wrong people for 5 years because I haven’t met a genuine real connection without all the dam red flags. It’s not about not being happy with yourself - I’m very happy with the woman I’ve become, accomplishments, self awareness and growth - it’s about feeling incredibly lonely and sad cuz you’re missing out on memories of having a family at 35+ years old that you’ve always desired. When you face that you’ll know how crushing it feels. You have to somehow deal with the grief and navigate it when it hits you like a ton of bricks. It’s very difficult to overcome if ever. To all the women out there that know what I’m talking about I pray for you too 🙏🏻 ❤️ and I guess we just have to take it one day at a time.
