Excellent question!!!!! Hmmm, reality check for me. I used be terrified of being alone. I got married to a real creep who beat on me a lot and several nights I thought i wasn't going to make it out alive. I have since divorced him and been happier than I think I've ever been. So am I truly happy or am I protecting myself? I think it is a lot of both. I am happy and content with my life as it is though it does get lonely from time to time but the thought of trusting someone again so completely terrifies the crap outa me. So thanks for the self check.

Well I find that I am A LOT better single, don't know why but I certainly am more productive.
I am aware of my emotional scarring, and although it usually only reveals its ugly head when I make an attempt at a relationship, I do try to reflect on how I can improve and not let the scarring rule my life.
I do know I will not be single my entire life though, I prefer monogamous relationships, I just have to find exactly (or close enough LOL) what I am looking for.

I really enjoyed being single for 3 years and just being able to eat what I felt like, watch what I wanted on TV, Do what ever I wanted and when, But there does come a stage where you do begin to feel lonely and wonder about being on your own in old age, which then makes you come to sense's and find that life time partner.

i think people may be really happy to be single because there is nothing holding you back from flirting or dating a bunch of guys. no rules. just fun. or it could also just be a defense mechanism from emotional scarring. it depends on the specific situation.

i wouldn't say I'm happy being single especially after being with someone special for the past year and 1/2, but there's no choice so i would say yes being single is good, but being with someone special is way better...as for scars in the past take them with you and when you find that other special someone, don't make the same mistakes that got you single once again

I am married now, and looking back, I realize how much better off I was as a single woman. I truly wish I'd thought it through first. My husband is a 41-year old child, who expects me to be his mama and his girlfriend too, and I'm not wired that way. It's an either/or thing, lol.

Some people are just happy being single and don't have any emotional scarring. There are people out there that do have scarring - but you can't catergorise everyone into the same group.

I've been happy being single.
I can be happy single or with someone, because above all else, I value myself, and I do what is right for me at the time.
