Why you might be better off single:

It is a great experience to have children and raise them.
My wife is my best friend and that is how I have always thought of her, before being my wife, my partner or my lover.
I have been extraordinarily lucky.
At this point in my life, I definitely believe "I'm the one for me!" I'm finally happy for the first time in my life.
My bad previous relationship has got me too scared to want to share my life again. I like being alone far better anyway, than losing myself into a lost cause.
To me what little "sharing" was usually me compromising, meaning I was missing out on what I'd rather be doing by myself. Glad I'm out!
And yes, like the article says, I feel I can spend more time keeping up with people who matter to me and enhance my life, sharing easy going fun times.
