Happily Married Versus Happily Single

It's usually ok and universally accepted when someone says he or she is happily married. However,the same standard does not seem to apply when someone says he or she is happily single.

It's like how can you possibly be happy if you're single?Such double standards.Happiness comes from the inside.

There are unhappy singles out there but there are also unhappy married people out there as well.

There were times I was happily single meaning I had fun, made good memories, and focused on my goals. I didn’t feel like I was doomed. I was surely happier single than in a bad relationship. I still find this weird pressure from other women mostly that I be happily superwoman irritating though: the audacity that I acknowledge having a (healthy) partnership to co-create s life together would be less stressful/depressing than juggling all this by myself. How dare I not find the chronic stress and lack of help ‘empowering’/joyful Lol
