If you have found happiness that is wonderful and what makes one person happy isn’t necessarily what makes another person happy.

I don’t think you’re weird at all. In fact, I applaud you.

I don’t think it’s weird. I think you’re amazing! We need more people like you. People who are happy with themselves and don’t need a relationship to prop them up. I’m sure, when the right man comes along, you will know and move into a relationship. For now, you’re happy as you are so don’t stress it, keep being happy

Not weird at all !! Focus on what you have and do what you feel for doing. When there is on a certain moment time and space to do more, you’ll develop into that direction.

No reason why you can’t be happy exactly as you are. I think I would’ve been better off as a single parent in a lot of ways it’s time consuming having a relationship

Of course you are normal! You sound very content and I’m happy for you.

I AM! Its ok to be. A contentment with oneself. alotnif people are very unhappy attached. to be ok being alone is a big accomplishment. Embrace it.

Sounds normal to me, and I know because that’s me too! I used to feel hollow and lonely without a partner, but after a few relationships that left me broken and wounded, I’m much happier and less stressed being single! Stress makes me ill, and that affects my children. Been a lot of lessons but I learnt that unless it’s perfect, I’m not settling for anything less than what I deserve. Maybe one day, even 20 years from now, I’ll meet someone I’m meant to be with, but for now I’m happy being single. Go you!

No not at all. I think it’s wonderful!

You are not weird!
You are a happy, successful, independent Mum!
Perhaps the men you have met are intimidated by you, or they simply just do not understand.
You’re happy with your career & home life & for some people who are unsettled & unhappy with theirs it is to hard to accept someone else should be.
It is stereotypical to think that single Mums are struggling & depressed.
Don’t doubt yourself, your a role model for single Mums who have had drummed into their heads they will never achieve anything, you’re living proof they can!

Good reading the comments and interest!

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. It sounds like you’re a devoted mum!

As long as you are not depressed there is nothing wrong with this. Independent is the word and you go for it girl!

No, Not at all, I was a single mum working full time with 3 preschool children, I stayed single for about 10 years, I went out with friends but most of the time if I wanted to go somewhere it was a child related activity anyway so I went with my children, I had no need for a male in my life, they just complicate things, I needed to devote my time to working to pay for my home and raise my children, I was very successful at work and won a 2 week holiday on the gold coast for the 4 of us, including airfares, (had a choice, probably could have gone to Europe for the same cost, but the theme parks won) I earnt a good income and my children wanted for nothing, I did eventually meet a lovely man who is 22 years older than me, he had children a couple of years older than mine and we maintained 2 homes for many years, then we moved with my work and purchased a home together and had 5 teenagers, thank goodness they have grown now and we did actually marry once they were all adults, I think that far to much emphasise is put on being a couple, you need to be happy and if that is with your children without a partner then so be it, your children come first. and if you are happy they will be as well.

If you’re happy, I think it’s normal. You may find you feel different in future; right now, just enjoy your contentment. And maybe make a little bit of effort to make sure you do keep up some contact with your female friends, as sooner or later you will need/want some social interaction again.

One persons weird is anothers normal….but you have the best thing happiness and a lot of people search for that

not weird at all, sometimes it is for the best and you can be totally happy without relying on anyone else

Its awesome that you are such a confident, wonderful, happy mother!! Your children are very lucky!

Certainly normal. It sounds like you are content with your life and don’t need it to change. I know lots of single mothers who have not been interested in having a romantic relationship for the majority of their kids childhoods, once their kids grew up into young adults and started doing their own things, they started finding the time for romantic relationships again.

Completely normal to have these feelings. Sounds like you just don’t have much time to even think about a man as your very happy with the kids. The only worry I have for you is the kids will grow up and eventually leave and your feelings may change but I suppose you just have to rethink it then. You never know maybe prince charming will come along day and your mind will change.
