why do people think because you are single, you are not happy or are incapable of having a "best friend" in friends? Does that ONLY come with marriage? Sorry but I have the same thing with friends - I just don't sleep with them. I love my friends, they support me, and put up with my bad days, etc., as I do for them. For all you married people who think only certain emotions come with marriage -you are wrong. You can have the same exact relationships with friends but as I said, no sex is involved. So what am I missing out on by not being married? I have love, respect, support, good times, bad times, everything that married people have. I feel the only thing I am missing out on is the drama, fighting, asking for "permission" to go out, etc., all that good stuff. I have been on both sides of the coin and I choose being single as you choose being married. Just please do not speculate that my life is not the same as yours because I am not married. I don't even have to miss out on sex as I can sleep with whoever I choose. I thought this was 2008 and not the 1950's!! I'm surprised there are still closed minded people about this.
