I smile to myself when the guys want to get together, and I just up and go and some of them have to clear it with the "boss."
I smile to myself when I decide on the fly to drive to Vegas for the weekend.
I smile to myself when I have to work late or stay at school to work on projects but don't have to worry about the feelings of someone waiting on me.
I smile to myself when I decide to waste a whole weekend binge watching my favorite t.v. or reading a thick book from beginning to end.
I smile to myself when I look at my bank account.
Brilliant words there! I'd like to add some more items to your list.
I smile to myself when I spontaneously join a Meetup event, for some happy hour drinks and Cards Against Humanity, just because it's Thursday.
I smile to myself when I don't have to worry about getting berated when I get home if I had too many beers while going out. (never driving in that case)
I smile to myself when I wake up in the morning and can nurse my hangover without someone berating me over spilling Gatorade on the floor last night.
I smile to myself when I'm out and about doing whatever, and my phone doesn't beep or buzz every 15 minutes.
I smile to myself when I see sitcoms on TV where the husband gets mistreated all the time.
I smile to myself when I see jewelry ads in early February, and know I won't have to give $500 to De Beers.

Are these all things that happened to you in past relationships?
I've always found these posts quite ignorant. In order for you to make such a statement your going to have to talk to every single single person in America on their experiences.
You do not know all single people. And you do not how all singles feel abour being single so please stop telling them how they feel.
This is big problem on this forum, too many people trying to project themselves onto people they've never met.
YOur post is actually quite ignorant because since it is impossible to know every single poster personally, it is assumed that most posts on these forums are generalizations, but its not necessary to say "generally" on every single post or response.

I think that the belief that there aren't some "generalities" in this game is complete ignorance.
If there weren't any generalities, we wouldn't even be able to converse on somewhere here like we do.
Actually think about that for a moment. Perhaps reflect on your own experiences.
Never notice any patterns? If not, then you either haven't been paying attention. Or, you haven't had enough experiences.
I have been exponentially happier these past three years as a single person than I ever was in my last significant relationship which lasted seven years.

OP, I bought into society's opinion that relationships are what humans need to do for happiness. The thing is, is if you have relationships already with parents, siblings, and friends, and fill your life with school and a job that you love, a "relationship" only hinders.
Some people are wired who don't want to compromise, who love their lives and don't want to change it by having to think of someone else in all their decisions. I love my life and it is filled with things and people I adore, and I doubt I'm the only one.
You are not the only one. Were I to go for the redo, I probably would have been on my own from the get go.

Nope it's not necessary, but don't expect that you won't be called out for attempting to tell others how they feel or what their experiences are.
