I guess it's the part where you've said you are "happily single" that could possibly be construed as.....odd. It's almost a situation that could be described as.....unbelievable.
Well no I am not over it in fact I am still devastated about it. But I have to be strong and keep a brave face about it hence my comments.
I haven't attempted to date since she died three months ago. What are you talking about?
That's kind of the point she's trying to make. No one would expect you or anyone to be even remotely considering dating only three months after losing a fiancee. Even mentioning the option, like you deserve a pat on the back for it, makes you sound callous and careless.
Totally depends on the individual. There are plenty of couples that are unhappy with each other. There are plenty of singles that are happy to be single. I think in either situation as long as you surround yourself with the people that make you happy it shouldn't matter. When I was single I had a lot of female friends that I could just go out and enjoy life with, there was never any inappropriateness or anything beyond a friendship. Everyone is different; what works for one person might not work for someone else.
Content doesn't necessarily mean happy. I think he is more accepting of where he is at, not "happy" as you describe. Really, I think y'all need to stay off 49ersfan's case. Not everyone gets over a situation the same way or timeframe.
Singles can be happy long-term but it typically happens because they've had long difficult relationships and aren't interested in going back to those sorts of situations.
I've never met someone that was happy being single AND had always been single. A preference for the single life seems to only come after experiencing the coupled life.

My staunch anti-LTR stance came mostly from observing other people's coupled life: both the family I grew up in and my current friends. I also had my own relationship, which was fraught with drama, yelling, and emotional abuse. I made a vow to myself to never allow anyone to have another LTR with me again. (I still enjoy being friends with women, and if I can find a fun fling somehow, I'll be happy to have that too.)

After a BAD experience of the coupled life.
All the descriptions of being with someone else on here sound absolutely pathological. Of course if those are the only examples of relationships I had ever seen or experienced, I'd want to be single, too.
"No one telling me what to do."
"No one to clean up after."
"No one spending all my money."
"No one telling me what channel to watch."
"I finally have time for me and my dreams."
"No more drama and yelling."
I mean, seriously, what kind of horrible relationships have these people been in?
