I would have said partner in the past but now I prefer being single. Experiences have brought me to this point. Being single is incredibly peaceful for me and I’m happiest with peace.
After a couple of the relationships I had when I was younger, I was so thrilled being single. Having my own space, none of the bullshit. I adored it. But then I met a man who changed everything. We align perfectly, and it has fostered a lot of growth for me. If we didn’t end up working out, I’m not sure anyone else could live up to the expectations I’ve built from this relationship. Probably would stay single tbh
I love my partner. Amazing having them around. They support me and help with everything I need. But sometimes I miss the times when I was having to figure things out and didn’t even have to give it a thought cause it wouldn’t affect anyone else. Almost sounds selfish now that I type it out.
Being single is awesome because I can just do shit without having to communicate that to a partner. I’m taking off next month on what will be the third year in a row I’ve been on a multi month solo backpacking trip on the other side of the world. I don’t have to explain that, justify my choice, or listen to a dude whine about how he doesn’t want me to go/wants me to take him with me. I can be flirty and fun and do whatever I want. Is it lonely sometimes being single? Sure! But the amount of friends I know in marriages/long term relationships who tell me they wish they’d just appreciated being single more and are jealous of my travels makes me know I’m making the right choice for myself.
I prefer being single because I never liked how I felt when I was in relationships. It’s nice not having to report to or consider another adult in my decisions or leisure time and possibly be inhibited by their tastes. I also like avoiding the risk of abandonment, which can happen at any time in a relationship. As a single mom, my choices are limited anyway, which isn’t worth experimenting with my time and physical body for.
I liked being single, and don’t get me wrong I still enjoy it, I have freedom, I can take care of myself and just do about anything I want whenever I want, but somehow now that I have finished residency, I have a well-paying job, a house, fulfilling hobbies, friendships, I find that there’s this weird feeling inside me, like a sudden craving, to find someone else to share all of those things.
With the right partner, every moment is amazing. With the wrong one, it can be eternally disappointing or even devastating. Everything in between is also possible. There’s another human deeply involved in your life, so that introduces a lot of variables that you don’t have to deal with when you aren’t looking for a relationship.
Being single is just the default state of being to me. I can be entirely happy and fulfilled by myself. It’s always peaceful.
It’s a comfort to know there’s someone for whom you’re their favourite person, who you can always count on, and who’s happy to take on life alongside you.
I don’t mind being single, and would always prefer it to being in a bad relationship. But a good healthy fun relationship with someone I love that loves me too is always preferable to being single for me, as I imagine it is to most people. Relationships take time and work, but the amount of joy they bring are worth it for me.
Right now, I’d rather be single. I’m planning to move abroad and I know a man would only distract me while I’m in the process of getting all my ducks in a row and/or if I end up falling in love, I might want to stay if they don’t want to leave and that’s not fair to me. So I’d rather be alone right now. I’ll find someone when I get to Europe.
I enjoy having someone to take care of in certain ways and he takes care of me in other ways. I enjoy the company. You find the right person, it’s so much better than being single imo
The latter, usually, because I love the intimacy of (healthy) relationships. The cuddling, touching (hugging, hand holding, kisses, etc.), the inside jokes, daily co-existing all the time, exploring together, etc. etc. I just love it, really 🥹
Having a bad partner makes being in a relationship a nightmare.
Having a good partner is having someone you can talk to, joke with, go do fun stuff together with. Then of course there is the sex, planning romantic surprises, being able to smother someone in love and affection. Having someone who has your back when you are having a rough time is great. Whether that is a bad day or your period has come around again. Someone who gets you.
Being single is quiet and peaceful. I don’t like that XD I like the chaos and noise of two goofballs sharing a place. Also dating is frustrating and trying to find that other goofball is difficult.
I absolutely adore, having an amazing equal active, involved, supportive healthy, partner. It’s just that those folks are hard to find, and they can also just dip out at any time. So I aim for super happy solid single life and anything above that is like a relationship icing on the cake
I prefer being single because of the freedom of choice, no one to think about when doing anything, but in general I think having a partner is much better, if he is kind, genuine and peaceful.
I love being single for the simple fact that I only have to consider myself in my life decisions.
However, I’ve never been happier than I am right now with my best friend. We laugh together, cry together, game together, so on and so forth. You name it, we’re together. I love him more than anything in the universe. He has made me hate the idea of being single, just because I would be without him.
I prefer having my partner. Maybe I’m just lucky, but life is better when I’m with my partner. I could read by myself, or watch TV, or go for walks, or do whatever, but his presence just makes the whole experience better. I don’t think this would have been true with some of my exes, but he truly brings something positive to my life, just by existing in it.
I like the emotional intimacy of relationships and I like some level of interdependence with others, i.e. people I would take care of in a crisis and vice versa. I also like having my own space and don’t desire cohabitation or financial entanglement with another person. I like being able to make my own decisions about my living space, budget, and schedule.
Quite frankly, because otherwise I get lonely.
I am disabled, so I spend a lot of time alone. I don’t want to be by myself all day and all night.
But of course, I’m not going to be in a relationship with just anyone because I get too lonely. But that is why I being in a relationship is important to me.
The other aspect is that sometimes I need someone to help me manage my disability. Sometimes I am less capable and need more support. Disabled people fare much better in life if they are married.
Prefer single. I always say how I know 100% that I’m straight, HOWEVER that does not mean that I actually like men by any means. Definitely not my generation, and I won’t date outside of a 5ish year range, so I’m SOL. I can honestly say that I’ve known guys 20ish years older than me who have actually caught my interest, but I won’t date or hang around someone outside of my range. Guys in their 20s and early 30s just don’t give any vibes of genuinely being reliable/driven/courteous/individually-minded… among a whole laundry list of other things. I like personalities, and guys these days tend to be too desperate and pushy to get into bed that it feels like they only really care after we’ve slept together, and even that seemingly “caring” nature wears off after some few days. They feel like they need baby sat. I’ve already got two dogs to take care of. I need a man, not some dude who’s ready to get into any whole he can get a hold of.
I just don’t have the capacity to compromise at this stage in my life. I don’t have e the energy and would probably feel a bit resentful about having someone else to consider.
I may feel differently eventually but I’ve been married and didn’t like living with someone else. Maybe it was just him specifically but having someone else in my house makes it hard for me to relax.
Even if they’re in another room, I can feel a disturbance in The Force and it’s distracting.
But I like setting my temp to whatever I want, decorating the way I want, not having to worry about if I left a project out, etc.
There are benefits (and good men) but it hasn’t been enough for me to give up my peace.
I think I’m lucky to have found a partner who is compatible with me in the first attempt. We’re everything the other wants from each other.
But I also know fellow friends who’ve struggled with their Ex-partners and choose to stay single. So, if this falls apart I’d rather stay single and not get into the hassle of dating.
I did the partner thing for most of my twenties and I left it mentally and sexually abused. I’ve spent the last 5 years trying to unpack it and work through all the trauma and I am still a work in progress. I never want to be in that situation again and I still cannot trust anyone to be my partner. And now I am so comfortable being single and not having to compromise with anyone that I don’t want to change it.
Growing up, I was unappreciated. My friends were all 2 faced, my mom was critical, my dad didn’t know how to give compliments, and my sisters weren’t loving at home. When I started dating, I was very codependent because I was finally getting approval from someone.
After several years-long relationships failed, I realized how awesome I was. I no longer needed validation, but I did want an audience. I stopped trying so hard to be in a relationship, and focused on finding THE relationship. I found someone who worships me AND is worthy of my attention.
I guess I also like having a partner because it’s more fun to hang out with someone else than be alone, and I found someone really great to hang out with.
Partner 100%. I’m pretty sure I’m type of person who is meant to be a wife. I’ve been with my husband over 8 years and it’s so fun, marriage is having daily sleepovers with person who is both your best friend and your lover.
I was happy while I was single&celibate too, but for me that felt like it was meant to be just a phase for me, period of self-improment and building my identity before relationship.
partner, definitely. being single wasnt fun. I’d just ended a 5 year relationship, n was in my mid twenties.
i was just so desperate n lost, i didnt know what to do. i felt so alone n helpless, n vulnerable. i just wanted attention n validation from men. it was that bad. i just wanted someone to actually be with , someone to trust, to b there for me, to actually listen, someone who didnt view me as an object. i wanted s true connection, not just sex.
luckily, i met my partner. we’ve been together for 2 years. i thought he’d b like all the other guys — show interest at first, ghost after sex, eventually ignore me, lead me on w false promises, etc. it’s nice, being loved. i wouldn’t change it for anything. he was worth the wait. every time i look at him, i think, that’s my husband. the man im going to marry
tldr : i wanted a partner bc i want to feel loved in a way that i cant love myself
Regardless of being married, single life will ALWAYS be seen as the best to me. So, definitely in my next life I’m gonna be single for life and make my cat lady dream a reality.
The reason why I prefer it : no responsibilities over someone else feelings, whatever I want to do I don’t have to talk about it first, I can remain the person I’d like to be without caring to improve if I don’t want to because I’d be with my own self, if I want to throw my phone away and jump on the first flight to disappear for some time, well, I can. It’s more about the freedom of action.
And then I got together with my boyfriend. He’s my best friend. And I’m so glad I get to do life with him. After 3.5 years together, my daughter and I are moving in with him & his kids this weekend 🫶
A healthy relationship can feel like home, but being single can feel like freedom. I think the real preference depends on whether you’ve found someone who truly respects and uplifts you.
I could definitely be happy being single, but I much prefer having my partner because I love him so much. It’s true that he’s my best friend, and it’s nice having a loved one so close and valuing your time together. And as the relationship grows, we continually respect each others personal journeys, too, when it comes to school, work, hobbies, friends, and family.
I don’t think I would stay with someone if I felt they were significantly hindering me from being my best self. I want someone that not only encourages me to be my best self FOR my self, but also whose company brings me comfort, joy, satisfaction, and adventure, which I think I share with him.
I’m going through a difficult time about this. My partner of 12 years wanted to take some space and moved out for a month.
We weren’t clicking and I just miss / crave the connection that we used to have. We were friends before we dated but somehow, I no longer felt like a priority. I didn’t make her feel emotionally safe and that kills me, but she isn’t meeting my needs.
She’s a veterinarian and would come home everyday high or wanting to smoke / drink immediately, and often guys her drinking. I REALLY don’t want to be judgemental and I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that those are her priorities but I just wish she would understand that I crave connection with her, and feel misunderstood, overall. I miss her so much but I’m learning to protect my peace during this process.
That being said, I’m lonely. I was lonely in the relationship and I’m lonely out of it. I desperately want to try and find that spark in myself again.
While I remember the advantages I had while single, I prefer having a partner. We speak positivity into each other’s lives on a daily basis, and it feels good to have someone to cuddle with at night. Moreover, it is great to have someone there to listen and provide support when going through a quandary. With the way people are divorcing these days or getting married without building a good enough foundation, I feel lucky to have my man in my life.
I’m enjoying being single. I throw myself pretty hard into work these days and I’m in high demand from a lot of people when I’m on the clock. By the time I’m done there, I need and appreciate my peace and solitude.
I’ve been single for a while now, and honestly, I really enjoy it. A big part of that is probably because I haven’t had the most “wholesome” relationships in the past.
But there’s something so freeing about not being responsible for anyone else’s feelings except my own.
Right now, I’m going through this. I just asked my husband of 25 years for a divorce, we decided on separation. I’m not sure if I will really miss him or I’ll truly happy on my one!

I love having a partner, he’s my best friend. We do everything together
Partner

Partner but I am currently single which is kinda sad
Partner. We’ve been together for over 30 yrs. He’s my best friend, my biggest supporter, my everything.
I prefer having a partner because I met the right person and he brings even more happiness into my life.
Depends on the day.
I’d rather be single right now and focus on my personal growth instead of attaching it to somebody else.
Depends. Right now I like being single more but if I had someone I liked enough to date that added value to my life, then I’d say partner.
[removed]
I would like to have a partner. Haven’t found one yet though😭
I like being single, people can be too much sometimes and i haven’t met someone who is worth disturbing my peace lol
I have a partner I don’t live with. Best o’ both worlds!
After a couple of the relationships I had when I was younger, I was so thrilled being single. Having my own space, none of the bullshit. I adored it. But then I met a man who changed everything.

Partner – in the last I’d say single but I hadn’t met my person yet.
I want my partner but I’d rather be single that be with anyone just to have a partner.
Having a partner he is amazing he is the calm to my choas

Rn I’m liking single
Single. I don’t wanna share my stuff lol
Both are fine, tbh. All depends on context

Single, the freedom
Depends on my insta feed
Single. Less stress more peace. I’ve never had a boyfriend, but plenty of failed dating experiences that left me feeling poorly.
I’m an extrovert not having a partner would be pretty lonely
Having a partner. I need sex, cuddling, someone to nest with, someone to nurture. I need forehead kisses daily ideally.
I’d prefer to have the right partner. But after perusing the apps, I’m cool staying single for now.
Single because I don’t know what out there in this cruel cold world. I don’t think the universe likes me at all.
Having lots of money
Single. I’m way to scared to put myself out there again.
[removed]
I enjoy the companionship of having a partner.
I say partner because I am best friends with my partner. It’s nice having someone know you inside and out & accept and love you for it.
I loveeeee being single. until I’m horny. Which is all the time. But I don’t want a partner just a person I can have on call to help me out lol.
partner – i love dick lol
I enjoy having someone to take care of in certain ways and he takes care of me in other ways. I enjoy the company. You find the right person, it’s so much better than being single imo

Honestly, being single = peace and freedom. Having a partner = built-in therapist with benefits. Pick your fighter. 😅
Single. Too many supposed “partners” are just burdens in disguise.
I’d much rather be single, but having someone to hang out with, where you’re both on the same page about things, is great.
Single: I get the whole blanket. Partnered: I get free tech support. Tough call.
I prefer being single because of the freedom of choice, no one to think about when doing anything, but in general I think having a partner is much better, if he is kind, genuine and peaceful.

I just want both, tbh.

I wanna be in a relationship.
I don’t want to experience the anxiety that comes with dating.
I also don’t want to experience the anxiety that comes with noticing things are falling apart.
So.

Single for sure.
I just don’t have the capacity to compromise at this stage in my life. I don’t have e the energy and would probably feel a bit resentful about having someone else to consider.
I may feel differently eventually but I’ve been married and didn’t like living with someone else. Maybe it was just him specifically but having someone else in my house makes it hard for me to relax.

There are benefits (and good men) but it hasn’t been enough for me to give up my peace.
The snuggles were nice though. 😆
Single is good always. Again, my personal opinion.
Has its cons, especially when in illness but if healthy I’d take a free life rather than enjoying it with a better half.
I think I’m lucky to have found a partner who is compatible with me in the first attempt. We’re everything the other wants from each other.
But I also know fellow friends who’ve struggled with their Ex-partners and choose to stay single. So, if this falls apart I’d rather stay single and not get into the hassle of dating.
I prefer having a partner, but with a lot of space and freedom, and practicing non-monogamy.
Having a partner!!

tldr : i wanted a partner bc i want to feel loved in a way that i cant love myself
I prefer to be happily partnered than single, but I definitely prefer to be single than unhappily partnered.
Partner. We love being around each other a lot!
Regardless of being married, single life will ALWAYS be seen as the best to me. So, definitely in my next life I’m gonna be single for life and make my cat lady dream a reality.
The reason why I prefer it : no responsibilities over someone else feelings, whatever I want to do I don’t have to talk about it first, I can remain the person I’d like to be without caring to improve if I don’t want to because I’d be with my own self, if I want to throw my phone away and jump on the first flight to disappear for some time, well, I can.

I’m enjoying being single. I throw myself pretty hard into work these days and I’m in high demand from a lot of people when I’m on the clock. By the time I’m done there, I need and appreciate my peace and solitude.

I’ve been single for a while now, and honestly, I really enjoy it. A big part of that is probably because I haven’t had the most “wholesome” relationships in the past.
But there’s something so freeing about not being responsible for anyone else’s feelings except my own.
Right now, I’m going through this. I just asked my husband of 25 years for a divorce, we decided on separation. I’m not sure if I will really miss him or I’ll truly happy on my one!
Single – it’s so peaceful. I’m fairly unfuckwithable now.
I rather be happy being single than miserable in a relationship.
It really depends on the partner, I don’t like, being single, but I’d rather be single than with the wrong person
Single forever
