I think personally we all feel a bit of opposite envy. I know of a lot of marrieds who are secretly jealous of single people and vice versa.
my neighbour has been single for over 10 years and she isnt in a rush to get into a relationship again, like she says she has the house how SHE likes it now, and she can please herself, not worth swapping for a cuddle!
When I have had a bad time I wish I was single (no complications!) when I was single I used to spend my time being envious of couples, looking back I really should have relaxed and enjoyed myself and stopped panicking about never finding "the one"

I'm not single at the moment but I have been for 89.04109589(recurring)% of my life and I've never felt anything but happy with my life! I can't believe that in this day and age there are still women who suggest that if they are not in a relationship their life is not happy (I realise nobody here has suggested that yet but the phrasing of the question makes me think the implication is there). I am only interested in enjoying my life as much as possible, whether I'm single or in a relationship is really not one of the factors affecting my happines.
Honestly? Yes! (For now anyway)
I was in a relationship for 5yrs (from 16-21) and have been single for over a year now. I must say, I have adapted very well.. Lol.
I love being able to come and go as I please. Not having to explain myself to anyone. To have the choice of what 'I WANT' to do.... not what someone else might want to do! Plus I love that if a nice guy comes a long, yoiu can flirt your heart out and not care coz you don't have to worry that your partner is getting upset! I am having the time of my life...
There are times when I miss it but this is mostly just before my period and I feel low for like 1 day... but it's nothing that friends, chocolate and a good movie don't get me through!

I have been 'single' for 6 years now, had lots of 'flings' but I am finding lately that I am getting very fed up of dating ! It is starting to bother me that I am single to be honest, no chance of me having children either now, the only men I get to meet have already been married and have their own children and dont want anymore and this DOES bother me. Outside pressure doesnt help, close friends continually asking me how my love life is and taking a less than healthy interest in trying to get me spliced lol....makes me panic slightly, I also cant help feeling that there is something wrong with me that I am still single....

It is the person themself who decides happiness, not the extraneous variable in the shape of a relationship. If a person is therefore a happy go lucky person then it does not matter if they are in a relationship or not, and vice versa.
Personally, I have been single for 3 and a half years after being widowed. I miss her with all my heart, but all the things I loved before and during our relationship, I still love dearly. So I guess I am happy.
Without sounding self-pitiful, I imagine I will be single, probably for the rest of my life. I have to plan to share my life with anybody. I do my own things, have my own friends and basically have absolutely no committment whatsoever. Why complicate issues? I am also incredibly critical and fussy when it comes to birds. Very few indeed will meet my criteria, and if they do they are probably already snapped up.
Besides, I live in the country with spiders the size of saucers a regular thing. No bit of skirt would dare enter my house, let alone my life.

Also I look at most of the people I know and their relationships are far from perfect! And the ones I always think look perfect always end up suprising me by announcing they are getting divorced or they had an affair!
I knew one couple who I thought were made for eachother, loved up, three beautiful sons... and then BAM! She ran off with a 17 yr old boy and left her children behind and hardly sees them now! (she was 31 when she left)!
Appearances can be decieving... Yeah... I'm better off on my own!

I'm only happier being in a relationship if it's a happy relationship!
There are lots of things that I miss about having a boyfriend (cuddles... companionship.... seedy $ex....) but there are also plenty of bad things that can outweigh the good. I'd rather be a happy singleton than some of the relationships I've had.

single for 8 years, and though i would love to meet a genuine love, i am pretty happy with things.
i have had offers and could have had boyfriend in that time but i have not met any that i could see myself being with so i decide that rather than getting involved when i am not sure and then splitting up, and having all the crap that goes with it, i just don't bother.
for me, i have to feel that they are worth going for, that it has a chance. there has to be a chemistry or a spark - i can't be bothered with going out with a bloke just for the sake of having a bloke.
had a few flings obviously in that time, but nothing special.

I've been single for 9 years now and I don't think I want to change that. I can do more or less what I want, when I want and not have to worry about someone else. This sounds selfish but I am honest enough to admit to it so at least I'm not making anyone else miserable!
My last relationship was a disaster and I'm not sure that I could trust anyone again.
