Can you be happy without a mate?

Yeah, can you really be happy without a girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife? Or is there something deep within us that will be discontented until we find one? And if you think it is possible to be happy without one, is it just because you think, either consciously aware or unaware, that you'll have a relationship in the future?
 
if i die alone it'll suck. I can be happy without someone for a while, but eventually you just need someone. see what im saying..
 
I can, but I think, as pyonir astutely observed, people are different, so some can, some can't. Or is it a case of, some will, some won't? If you percieve yourself as incomplete or inferior without a mate, chances are that you'll struggle with unhappiness. If you are willing to be content as a single individual, perhaps you may be.

ditto.

Thats what I feel as well. I can be alone for periods of time but anything too long and it would suck.
 


<< Can you be happy without a mate? >>



let me reword this:


<< Can you be happy [/b]with[/b] a mate? >>

Depends.
 
I'm alone now and have been for awhile. I feel like sh!t all the time, I'm depressed a lot.
I really need a SO right about now. Just today, I've been contimplating moving to another city and starting my life over.
 


<< some of the most lonely times of my life were in a bad relationship. >>

How true. This was also my experience. I felt better after quitting, but after a while started to forget the bad things about it, and remember only the good, and made me give another try at the unsuccessful relationship.
 
I think you can be happy to a certain extent. You just have to do things you enjoy and do them often. Try to make the most out of each day as it comes. But when you know you'd be even happier with a mate, especially in the long run, you'll never achieve the state of happiness that you truly desire. Just knowing that things could be better really nips away at you.

Actually I turned to computers during that time of my life .

I know the feeling all too well! I've even considering leaving my home country.
 
Right after you are out of a stupid relationship you sure don't give a fck anymore!

I couldn't care less right now. Oh yeah, I am single.

Afghanistan?! . . . good idea!

Seriously now . . . (if it were possible) . . . it really depends on the person. Happiness comes from within. I have always run away from the woman that says "I need the right man to make me happy". I don't want to "make someone happy". I'd much rather share life with a happy & satisfied person.

If you need someone to make you happy, you are missing something. However, finding someone special that ADDS to you life is truly magical - work at keeping that relationship.
 
I can fool myself into thinking I'm happy alone until I meet someone, then "alone" becomes the scariest word in the world.
