Am I being selfish for wanting to stay single?


Question Posted Sunday January 1 2006, 4:04 am

I'm a 27 year old female.For the first time in a long while I'm actually happy to be single. I have my own appartment and a part time job, and was thinking that if I was dating someone I probably couldnt affort to have all the nice things like movies, cd's, and nice furniture, because I would be spending it on my bf. I was also thinking how nice it is not to have the responsiblility of looking after children. A lot of the ladies I work with at the store have kids and they are always so stressed out. I have it made- I only answer to myself and can come and go as I please. The money I make is spent on myself and doesnt go to pay for anyone else.
I am selfish for feeling like this? And is it just I phase? I want to have a family SOMEDAY, just not now. I'm having too much fun!!

I consider this a selfish attitude, BUT that doesn't make it a bad thing. You recognize what you want AND what you don't want. These are extremely important qualities and when you find the right person, you'll already be comfortable with who you are and what you like. There's a maturity level here that is much more important than worrying about being selfish.

I definitely don't think that you're being selfish at all. If you feel fantastic being single, then that's great. Not everyone enjoys being dependent. You're an independent person, and that's totally fine. When your time comes for you to be in a commited relshionship in which you have kids, you will. Nobody is rushing you into anything, and you shouldn't be hard on yourself about it. Live freely until you feel you want a soul mate and loving children in your life...it does feel good knowing that you don't have responsibility over others or that you're free of stress. I wish you the best of luck!

No it is not selfish at all to not be ready for a different lifestyle now. Go out! enjoy doing all the things you love doing. I have 2 questions in regards to your question though....lol #1 Where do you work to only have a part time job and be able to afford everything? lol and #2 Having a boyfriend where I'm from means he helps foot the bill most of the time where do you live that the girl pays for everything? Just curious-

If you are happy then you aren't doing a thing wrong!

When you are ready for a family or the right guy happens along you can deal with all that. Right now if you are happy being single...hey, keep it up! :)

No, you're not being selfish. You are doing very well and don't want it to end, that's fine. When the opportunity arrives to have a good relationship then take t. But right now live life how you want.
