The truth about women who Live Alone without a man

As far as I'm concerned this is one of those rage bait videos. Some man, who's fake, talking about women living alone? Give me a break.

Even if there were "whispers" about my singleness, I could care less. Let them whisper if it keeps them busy and out of my hair.

UPDATE:
Early on in the video it says, "From the time we are children, we are taught that a woman is a puzzle piece waiting for its match. We are told that our value is tied to our other half and that a house without a man is just an empty shell."

I can't ever remember being "taught" that! I can't in my lifetime even remember someone saying that. It all seems a bit, last century or two. A bit, Jane Austen.

I wasn't told this, but my mother watched these dumb Doris Day movies. I saw on youtube a video of his exwife. They tricked her. She thought he really loved her. It was just to fake that he was not gay. She said she couldn't watch these movies.

And in church they told me as a teen in the 80s: You have to wait for the man that God sends you and then you will live happily ever after. So I did that. I threw a coin in and I didn't get the gum ball they promised LOL. And I also feel sorry for him.

I still see them say this online sometimes to youth and then I say: It's a lie. Look at Adam and Leah. Don't lie.
 
I chose the single life 8 years ago and never looked back. It is the happiest I have been in my life. I was married 3 times and was tired of having to care for another person. Tired of having to discuss with someone else what I wanted to do, to buy, to change, etc. I wouldn't say it is for everyone but it was the right thing for me. I do think I wasted my younger years by getting married. Not going to worry about that now.

They're either super happy, go on great holidays with always ever sweet hubby. One woman was pregnant. Yeah I'm very grumpy the whole day so hubby treats me like a princess. Go lay on bed dear. What the... How spoiled is this woman? Or they complain on a forum that their marriage is horrendous. Loads of the latter ones, also men, on christian forums. I felt so sorry for them.

I know a couple. I always pray along with her because I have no church. They're from Nigeria. Great couple. He's a pastor. She too. Awesome. Super mature. Funny. Never a fight. She had to wait until she was 50. He's 70. But the only reason she is happily married is that these assholes killed his first wife and the 2nd one died from a disease.

this is not what this thread is about. This thread is about women who are happy living without a man especially in later years.... and actively choose to be single

It's not anti-men at all.. or pro men... it's just a fact that many women in later life prefer not to live with someone of the opposite sex....

I was married twice, both marriages had their good side, and bad side.. the bad sides outweighed the good hence the reason I'm divorced. That hasn't put me off men.. I like men, I'm much more comfortable in the company of men than I am with women... but I don't want a man living with me any more..

I've lived with someone twice in my life. The first one for 5 years and the second one for just shy of 14 years. Neither one was a fulfilling experience. I lived by myself most of the years in between except for an occasional female roommate.
I didn't actually marry until I was 66 yrs old. I was only married a little over 5 years when he passed away. Those 5+ years were probably the happiest I've ever been. We were both mature enough and appreciative enough of each other that we didn't take each other for granted. I'll probably never have that comforting of a relationship again and that's okay because some people never get to experience that. Having said that, I'll probably be by myself the rest of my life which is okay. At my age it really doesn't matter.
