To think life is better in a loving relationship

I know there are lots of threads recently about how great being single is and there is a massive push for women to stay single and how much “better” it is. But for me I just don’t agree, life will always be better in a loving relationship with someone that cares about you. (Not abusive relationships) aibu to think life will always be better with a loving partner than single?

Well im not going to sit and link every thread but you can use the search and loads will come. I just wanted to say how amazing being in a loving relationship is and how its much better than being single and alone.

I'm single but I'm not alone. You sound smug

I don't think it's smug to say that other people are lying because what they're saying doesn't fit her worldview. It's sad.

People are different. I'm single and very happy with my life. I genuinely don't want a partner. I don't know why you find that hard to believe.
