I was listening to a podcast yesterday about this. Roughly 50% of single people aren’t looking for a relationship with anyone. I definitely fall into that that segment of people.

I was married nearly 14 years to a woman that turned into a mean, nasty, and abusive person. I have two daughters as a result and, beyond my two kids, I don’t have anyone in my life that I interact with on a regular basis. I call my parents 2 times a month and I get along really well with my brother, but I only see him 2-3 times a year.

Life is just a lot easier and a lot less of a hassle when you’re single and by yourself. I sleep when I want, I spend my money exactly how I want, and 100% of the mess in my apartment is my own.

I haven’t done much solo travel yet, but when my youngest graduates high school in about 7 years I’ll be 49 years old and I plan on basically being homeless and traveling the world until I get bored of it. I collect a rather robust pension from a combination of my military and government service and I haven’t had to work in years.

I’m quite content with my life. I would never ruin what I’ve got going for me by entangling myself with another person again. I more than learned my lesson from my first marriage.
