i'm 28 years old, and i've never felt like i needed anyone. i've been in love a time or to, but still... i know i need a woman in order to have a family, but other than that, i'm usually more happy to be alone. everything is just so much simpler that way. has society planted this imaginary ''need'' in our minds?

Many people feel they are not whole if they are not in a relationship. Realize that this is not true. Remember that it is better to be healthy alone, than sick with someone else. Andrew, if you feel happy and at peace being alone then be SINGLE as long as you want. you said you NEED a woman in order to have a family but having a family you have to love wholeheartedly a woman and not just needing her in order to have kids, blah blah blah. I know its much simplier being alone. It is not the societ that plants that imaginary needs in our minds. When you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences. You now choose to be single cuz you like the way you are now. Just keep in your mind that whatever you do or whatever the thing you decide, make sure that you'll end up happy.

well i think that some people do need a partner and some people dont to be happy.if u are happy being alone then thats fine.yes being with someone in a relationship is complicated.but it is fifty fifty in a relationship.and if u really want a family then find u someone that u will love and that will love u back.and if ur more happy being alone then thats ok that doesnt make u anymore less of a man.maybe ur just not ready for all that yet and if so its ok.the right time will come for u to be with someone.i hope everything works out for you

I'm 27 and I don't feel like I *need* anyone but having someone is nice. Of course alone time is essential but sometimes I like to share it with someone special. Maybe you need to find a girlfriend who likes you but is happy only hanging out 1 or 2 times a week.

I don't believe that everyone on earth needs a partner, but I believe that most people do. It is a wonderful thing to have someone to share your life journey with. However, I believe that some people could be perfectly happy to remain unattached. If you are happy, then there shouldn't be a problem. AND....you can always change your mind later...

Some people can not live happily unless they have someone by their side all the time. Others such as you and me, are happier living alone. It depends on how you define your happiness. Living alone is less complicated because you don't have to please another human being all the time. You decide what is good for yourself. There is no need to seek somebody's approval.

I respect your honesty ,at least you know you don't have to find a partner to be happy ,that means you are content with yourself ,remember that phrase from the Movie Jerry McGuire.
you complete me ,i feel sad if that was the truth.
when you happy with yourself ,you don't need nobody to complete you .
I been married for 18 yrs ,but i don't feel like i would fall apart if something happen to my husband ,I'm very happy married woman ,but i also like not to have to answer to no one ,and it took me a while to get used to ,and many time's i forget ,my husband keeps remind me ,im not alone .
I like the freedom not to answer ,or make decisions without asking .
the only reason my marriage work's ,it's because my husband is patient ,and he let's me be the Boss.
I remember since child ,my parent's saying ,when you get married ,so i guess we are brain washed to get married .

You are right...you don't really need to have a partner to be happy...Some people do and some don't. It actually depends on the individual.

No you do not NEED a partner to be happy or fulfilled. If you are already happy then there is your answer. Good for you.

It depends person to person.
I know that I need to be with someone to be happy.
That's just how I am.
