Everyone feels lonely sometimes, even when they are in a relationship. The difference is whether or not it DEFINES you, whether you feel less worthy or valuable in some way without a partner. By spending whatever time you need to get comfortable with who you are, what you enjoy, what brings you satisfaction, who you are as an individual, you may find you are more comfortable NOT having a partner. In most studies, it's been shown that WOMEN often live longer, happier lives without remarrying. Since women tend to live longer anyway, I think it's very negative to hold up coupling as the ideal. To me what's ideal is being able to be authentically who you are as an individual, realizing your fullest personal potential and feeling good about it.
