I think unmarried couples are happiest. Marriage makes housetop trying!

I'm not overly sure labelling people as either married or single is an accurate indicator of happiness.
Married people enter that agreement on a number of factors - some are identical to why single people remain so (lifestyle choice, for example)

The jury's out for me on this one

From what I’ve read, it depends on your gender. Mean are happier married and women are happier single

With the advent of women’s lib/ emancipation, together with the massive increase in life expectancy marriage is on its way to becoming completely redundant. Life is for living- about experiencing flights of passion - CARPE DIEM!

When I was married and my husband was having affairs, he was not at all nice to me, in fact downright nasty, most of the time!

I wonder what the other halves of all these "happier at home" people have to say if they are asked!!! 🤔

My last IE said his marriage was better for him being with me aswell. Having your cake and eating it must be a saying for a reason

Daft question - as I’ve stated before 🙄.

I’m long-time married and I’ve been here (just for the forum now as I have an IE) for a couple of years. Am I happily married ..? Sort of. Intimacy has always been iffy in my marriage, we’re not well suited. However, we get on platonically ok (apart from when he’s an arsehole), and I’ve never felt the gripes I have about him and our marriage are adequate reasons for breaking us up, so I muddle along and have affairs. I’ve learnt to compartmentalise my ‘other life’ in a similar way to men so I no longer feel guilt, but I still have that strong need to keep my phone and my IE life private. I’d say I’m about 80% happy. Would I be happier if I was single? Maybe, but unless I’m forced, I’ve no intention of finding out for sure. I don’t think anyone is completely happy, we have to make the best of what we have in the way we can.
New Topic tomorrow please 🙂

The Answer to your question is no married people are not happier than single people because if you was happy you would not be on here. Marriage is a package unless you have a open marriage. Single people don't have to live a lie. So the answer to your question is single because they don't have to answer to anyone.

25 years of marriage only time my marriage has been happy Is while I'm having an affair as it the only time I feel like myself other times my sexless marriage makes me question whats wrong with me.......

I was married for 20-years... Reason for leaving - Neither of us loved each other, we were just living together for convenience. That’s no life IMHO, rather be alone.

Been single a year.... probably the toughest decision I ever made... starting all over again at 52... Sure it’s been tough, met some crazy people (& women) but all in all, it’s been a blast! I can finally go back to enjoying the journey...
