Mature women honestly told why they are happy to be single, there are many pluses
There is an opinion in society that being single is bad and sad. We like to pity women who have not married or divorced. For some reason, this is considered the worst case scenario. But is that really true? Many people think otherwise. It turns out that there are non-obvious advantages of loneliness, which we will talk about today.
Peels Editions "Site" It was interesting to explore the other side of loneliness. So we collected stories of people who do not regret not having a partner. It's a very interesting finding.
We found three people who have been without a relationship for a long time. And they all told me why they didn’t want to start. They like solitude and they are our pluses. They are all different people, with different experiences and circumstances. But they all came to similar conclusions.
Peels Jan, 27, When I was 18, I was really worried about not having a boyfriend. I was embarrassed that everyone was already in a relationship and I had no one. I didn’t even think I wanted a relationship at all. However, all efforts were made to meet someone. By 20, I had a boyfriend. But I won’t say it made my life better. I spent too much time trying to prove something to someone who didn’t understand me. But I could tell I was in a relationship.
Due to misunderstandings and constant quarrels, we broke up. Only then did I realize that I was much more comfortable alone. No one is watching when I get home. And no one is chastising me for that. Besides, I was able to concentrate on myself. Over the past 6 years, I have received an education for which I did not have the strength and time before.
Now I have a good job that gives me a lot of fun. I have all this because I have stopped wasting energy trying to please someone. And now I don't have to do anybody's whims, I don't have to compromise. I am comfortable spending all my time on myself.
Peels Elena, 58 years I have lived all my life according to the installations imposed on me. I had to get married and have kids faster. That's exactly what I did. By the age of 25, I had a husband, two children and a mortgage. I swirled between the kitchen, work and children's mornings. I didn't think anything was going wrong. Life was very busy. But now I realize that I am not filled with impressions, but with a ton of duties that caused me to fall off my feet.
When the children left to study and left home, I realized that my husband and I had nothing to talk about. He must be, too. Because he left six months later, found another. Then I felt overwhelmed. It took me years to realize what a gift my husband gave me. He gave me solitude. I've been living on my own for 10 years. All my time, all my money. All my attention is focused on what I want. And no one grumbles at me at night for unwashed dishes in the sink.
Peels Anatoly, 40 years old I like solitude. In 40 years of my life, I have never been in a serious relationship. Because as soon as a person appears in my personal space, they start to annoy me. In my apartment, everything is where I left it. But as soon as another person appears in the house, he brings with him other orders. It tires me.
Besides, it was only when I was single that I was able to devote so much time to my hobbies. I can play guitar, draw and know 4 languages. I like hiking and traveling. And all this I can do without depending on anyone and without asking permission. These are the benefits of loneliness. I probably wouldn’t have been able to live such a busy life otherwise.
All these stories are different in content, but very similar in essence. It’s just that people realize that without a couple, they can be happy too. Some may call it selfishness, but there is something about it. Maybe we need to think about the fact that there is no single right scenario for a successful life. It's different for everyone. Everyone finds happiness and comfort in something. We are glad that these people have found their way to happiness.
