In a relationship you look at singles with the feeling that if single again you would be "killing it". It's the if I knew now what I know back then the world would be my oyster.
There are pros and cons to being single, and there are pros and cons to being married.
They key is to learn to be happy with where you are at the moment.

I think for some people they may long to be single but I think for most that say those sorta of things it's from the grass being greener perspective. I'm glad as hell that I'm not out there looking for a spouse. I ain't gonna lie, I think being single would suck BIG TIME.

I agree! I like being married.
A few years ago my social circle just so happened to be me and a bunch of single women. They all owned their own houses and had pets and whatnot, like me, and we had lots in common. But they all told me at some point that being single was hard, and it sucked not having someone to team up with. And I fully admit, I had things much easier than they did, because of my husband's support. Not just financial, but things like when we'd separate after a nice day hiking with the dogs, I went home to a clean house and dinner on the table. They had to go home alone to do all of that themselves.

Yes well said, that is great you have that!!
I'd love to be in a great healthy relationship, a synergistic union, yet good quality men seem hard to find. I have a lot to offer yet it would have to be a two way street, that is what makes it difficult is pairing up with a like-minded good mate.
I'm happy, and love my life, yet I know it would be even sweeter with a good man.

I’m single. I’m not looking for a spouse. It isn’t either/or. You can find being single fun. It isn’t like all single people are out there desperate to find a spouse or partner. Some people are perfectly happy to be single.

I didn't make any king of vast sweeping statements that all single people want to have spouses. I made a point of bolding a few "I"s to indicate I was speaking from a personal perspective. I was answering the OP's comment contradicting him that some people don't necessarily wish to be single and don't think how great the single folks have it.
For people that are happy being single, good on them.
This subject always seems to get a some folks riled up, not talking about you here, just saying in general.

Precisely this. Being single is logistically really hard. I mean yeah, I don't make much money, but I can pay my bills and I won't always make this little money. But the daily grind is always there, no matter what, unless I meet someone. I feel like I almost never have time to socialize as much as I want to because there's always laundry that needs to get done, food that needs to get prepped, grocery shopping,...and of course...some cleaning, especially if I have guests over. Not only would it be more fun to do that with a partner, but just more time efficient. The hard work of a relationship has always been worth it to me, especially when I've been on both sides of it. By far, the cons of a relationship are still better than the cons of single life.
The physical stuff is easy to find. If I just want a guy to snuggle up to, I can just hit up one of the guys I know, but its not worth it.
