(NC because I mention sex . Its not a sex thread though)

Wondering if I am best off single as per thread title.
Have other posters reached this conclusion for similar or different reasons?
Am I missing something?

I am currently single after a very LTR. I have DC, don't want more, I can now turn my hand to DIY, I can get by reasonably well with masturbation, I much much prefer the company of women over men. I don't want another man but I'm not gay. I am occasionally lonely, I do miss companionship in the evenings, but generally prefer being by myself.

You're better off single than in a not very good/awful relationship. If you're happy being single, carry on. You may find someone who's great, you may not.

Grrr.. typo in title. Sorry.

It is a much complicated question to give a simple answer to. If I had to try to give a simple one, it would be something like this: weigh the positives and negatives + weigh the potential positives and negatives of another relationship too. That is when you know whether you are better off single or not imho.

I guess it might just happen. I think meeting potential partners would involve some degree of conscious decision/effort.

There seems to be an assumption with friends and therapy - and society - that I will of course want to be in a relationship at some point. It just suddenly occurred to me that i simply have no need for a man.

Maybe what I need is a fellow "spinster" (horrible word) to grow old with and keep me company.

I think it's too big a question to be honest. There are benefits of both being single & a relationship & as life evolves it'll be an ever moving feast. If it feels right, it normally is, so stay single if you feel that way inclined

There's nothing wrong with choosing to not be in a relationship.

However, life changes. Go with the flow. Right now you probably are better off single. But never say never. Things may change and who knows when.

A big question as in there isn't really an answer? I tend to post without having worked out what I'm asking. I suppose my light bulb moment was, I can do it all myself, i have no need for a man. But that doesn't sound great.

It felt liberating.
I'm interested in being single as a choice.

I get that there doesn't need to be a fixed answer.
