Will I be alone the rest of my life and is that ok because I am happy this way?

Answer 1

If you are happy, then by all means do.

Answer 2

It is ok to choose to stay single , if that is what you are asking. I did, after a horrid divorce that was expensive and stressful, I made a conscious decision to stay single.

It does NOT mean I am "alone". I have a very very full life, with alot of good friends, a tight knit family that keeps me very busy with their own drama, and I am active in many groups and have hobbies. I have had a few romances that were sweet but temporary.

I am not alone. I am so not alone that sometimes I wish I had more private time to myself. I am just not tied up with one person.

I accomplished things as a single person that would have been impossible with my spouse. I don't have to explain myself to anyone or fight for the right to pursue my own interests, I don't have to feel guilty about having a life outside of one person. I feel much more free this way.

When my marriage dissolved I felt like I had been at the bottom of the river with concrete boots, and the divorce dissolved my chains...I started to float free and rise to the surface for the first time in years.

I realize now I married too young. I needed to complete the process of becoming my own person before getting tied down and owned by another "incomplete" needy soul.

I gather when you meet the "right" person, you will change your mind about this. But until you just know with all your heart its what you want, marriage isn't for you. Don't get tied down just because its what people expect of you or its what everyone else says you need to do to be happy.

Answer 3

How can anyone tell you if you will be alone for the rest of your life unless they are psychic?

If you are happy the way you are why question it. If it's meant to be, it will be. Enjoy what you have and let fate run it's course.

And only you know if that's ok. If it's ok with you, it's ok by me.

Answer 4

I just can't imagine being alone.

It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Having a companion, or children or friends certainly complicates life a lot. Sometimes more than we want, but even those complications, make life richer.

Relationships help us to grow and learn about ourselves, as well as those we are with.

I think we have a lot to give and if your not giving something of yourself to someone, you can never really know what it is to be happy.

Of course, there can be pain too. But that can make the happy times feel really good.

Answer 5

i dont think we are meant to be entirely alone...if u didnt seek anyones approval u wouldnt be asking a question like that...but if ur happy not being in a relationship then thats great, good for u! go with what ur happiest with and if u have realized that being alone is it then be all means enjoy!

Answer 6

You are never happy when you're alone. You just learn to cope with it, and then become slightly bitter and resentful. We need other people. Maybe you only need "occasional: people, but that still shows a slight need for someone.

Answer 7

if you want to be alone and happy that is ok, i am the same way single is the way to be

Answer 8

if its okay with you, then its okay for you. You MIGHT not be alone the rest of your life... one never can predict the future, but no need to try to make anything happen if its not what you seek.

Answer 9

It's great that you love your self so much that it doesn't bother you being alone. I'm married and It's nice when my husband is here but when he's gone I don't mind at all because I kind of like being by myself also. It's kind of like being your own best friend.

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

It's hard to say what the future holds. But if you're happy, then that's great! And you never know: some day you may change your mind.
