I am a single parent, although I was married I made the decision to divorce and return to single life.
I get alot of flack from family members that do not understand it, while it is true that it would be easier with a second pair of hands and a second income, I realised as a person I was much happier single. This seems odd to most and even to me. I date and have had long term Log in or Register to read more… |

In this materialistic world, the most difficult part to lead a life is living as a single parent. But I wouldn't like to get into the heart aspect of whether loved by others or not, or ready to take another person into your life. Wish to lead a happy life.

I can identify only in the sense that the older we get, the more set in our ways we are. It's cliche but true. It becomes more difficult to comprimise, even in the most basic of things. I also am a romantic, so I don't agree with a revolving door, especially if there are children involved. That's just me and those are my choices. In no way do I judge anyone else's choices.

The father of the child is still expected to support the child even if the parents are not anymore together.

Married was okay but sometimes a pain in the neck. I was married 3 times and I was a single parent. The total of those 3 times was about 8 years altogether and therefore I was single about 90 percent of my life and I enjoy it immensley. I don't have to answer to anyone but myself, I can come and go as I please without asking permission or checking in or answering to anyone as to why and Log in or Register to read more… |

I was married and divorced. Then I was in a couple different relationships, the last one being the worst relationship ever. I decided that I was done with relationships. I was better off being single. I stayed this way for a few years, until I found my fiance'. We were just friends not wanting anything from each other. Here we are 4 years later and have decided to get married. Just when were Log in or Register to read more… |

If you decide to be single, isn't it really your business and no one else's business? Family and friends who think they know better should just be quiet and be supportive.

I agree with you till a certain extent. You should not marry someone simply because you have the social obligation to find someone and live with that someone. Although life may be easier, if it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be. However, I do believe in the concept of love.
What aspects make you happier living as a 'single' though?
