wht is society so couple focussed?

[superstarheartbreaker]

I know it is mainly to do with the fact that piv sex is so great andwe all like to know from whose loins our kids spring from but I cant help wondering if wed all be much happier if we could ve seen as whole with or without another half rather than somewhat lacking.

Misogyny... :) It's a relatively recent thing that women could have a respectable, fulfilling life of their own, independent of a male provider, and society is a LONG way from catching up.

Misogeny It keeps us all in our place and under control. Coupledom benefits men far more than women (men on the whole are not suited to domestic life). People therefore mistrust single people, hence the fear of 'loners' (often portrayed as mad gunmen, serial killers or just plain odd). Total rubbish of course. Why do you ask Superstar? Do you prefer the single life but get frustrated with its limitations?

Bugger.misogyny obv.

I am torn. I do like being single but im also a romantic. Id love to be Iin a non- abusive relationship

men on the whole are not suited to domestic life

as far as I can see they like to consume it (domesticity) but rarely want to produce it!

Being single is great and so is being in a relationship, the best of both IMHO is in a relationship but not living with the other person. Ideally living not too far away so you can always have a cuddle is the perfect scenario but being able to shut your door on them when either needs some space is just perfect.

If you take plenty of time to embrace being independent and all the advantages it has to offer I guarantee your confidence & self-respect will increase. You'll also become very reluctant to give up independence and this will, I suggest, make you very fussy about who you subsequently allow to share your life. Doesn't mean you'll never meet another abusive person, of course, but you'll be able to reject them more quickly.
