After all, if you're coupled and still value the single life, no one can dismiss you as envious, insecure, or too inexperienced to know what you're missing. You already have what the majority say you should want, so your words carry that much more weight when you support the minority. At least, that's how I see it.Clever Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418117983991542947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189996225963309854.post-26697879957439371932009-04-10T08:18:00.000-07:002009-04-10T08:18:00.000-07:00The answer to the question that titles this post i...The answer to the question that titles this post is, in my opinion, NO. Christina and I have talked about (but never really posted) about this. One of the blogs that we're going to feature in the next month is written by someone who is in a long-term relationship but has no intention of being married (Unmarried Estate), and one of the blogs we've already featured (Marrying Millennial) just had a baby with her bf. <BR/><BR/>So, NO you don't have to stay single to "prove" that you're truly pro-single. Of course you are. You have a damn blog about it!<BR/><BR/>=) LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189996225963309854.post-76448634251656352962009-04-05T22:18:00.000-07:002009-04-05T22:18:00.000-07:00I have learned a lot about being a happy single FR...I have learned a lot about being a happy single FROM relationships. I think that one thing about being a happy single is being accepting of positive change and welcoming mutually beneficial relationships into your life. If one of those mutually beneficial relationships ends up being your boyfriend or *gasp* spouse, oh well!<BR/><BR/>There are so many wonderful things about thinking single that will serve you well in a relationship. <BR/><BR/>I don't plan to abandon my blog if I find myself in a relationship. In fact, I think that the most Singlutionary thing to do is to continue writing as long as I want!<BR/><BR/>Yay for you and your ability to see the importance of being happily single from the "other" side!The Singlutionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199194725578216599noreply@blogger.com
