I'm going to call BS. Sure, being single is better than being in a bad relationship. But, like the majority of music, movies, novels have to do with romantic relationships. Pretty much all of psychology tells us for most people relationship is what makes life worth living. Maybe you're an exception but for most of us it's what we crave.
i'm in my mid 50s. Since 18 I've had about 4 years of someone in my life. The other 30+ years there's been no one. For almost that entire time I was told "it will happen". Well it didn't. It's hard to stay hopeful at this point. Things I wanted (my own kids) are close to zero chance at this point.
I wanted to grow old with someone. Too late. I'm already old. I used to think you meet someone relatively attractive in your 20s, maybe 30s and you grow old and ugly together but your familiarity with each other and your shared memories of younger times keeps it going. Well, that's too late too. Looking on the dating sites it's all grannies and grandpas
