There is a common misconception going around that single people are all sad, lonely people who are looking for a partner to complete them. This simply isn’t true.
In the Western world, at any one time, approximately 35%-50% of adults are single. With 20% of couples who, after having their first baby, separate in their first year and approximately 50% of marriages or civil partnerships ending in divorce, it’s easy to see that a partnership in life is not always the No. 1 priority.
Being in love with someone and sharing life’s moments can be wonderful, but assuming this is people’s No. 1 priority these days is a bit of last-century thinking. Some people are simply fed up with the constant drama of a partnership. Some relationships can be very stressful, especially when both parents have to work full-time just to pay bills and put food on the table.
So, what is this spellbinding effect of the single person?. – It’s simply living a “lighter’ life. They only have to make their own decisions. On holidays, they do what they want, go where they want and are not answerable to anyone else.
Sure, it can be a little embarrassing at times sitting in a restaurant or a pub on your own; however, with action comes confidence, and once you fall in love with your own company, you can see that being comfortable in your own company can be a huge asset.
I have been in many relationships in my life, including a marriage, and each was beneficial to some extent. However, many relationships end, and the aftereffects of a breakup can linger for years. The only time you break up with yourself is when you die.
There are pros and cons to both being a couple and being single. However, being single is not the sad existence some people make it out to be. You can be single and very happy; no one can actually complete you, apart from yourself. Most single people choose to be single; they like the freedom and lack of drama. There is a shocking increase in domestic violence toward women and girls in relationships with men, which can be one of the reasons causing many women to stay single.
Women in 2026 are more empowered to go it alone and don’t need the stereotypical coupling with a man that was predominant in the last century.
So, whether you are single or in a relationship, just be happy. Happiness is so important for good health; if what you are doing is good, do more of it.
Have a great day
