I belong to this group, how about you?

Well, technically not TOTALLY alone, I do live with two sweet kittys.

"I like being able to control my time on my own terms," said New Yorker Kate Bolick. "I like that I can eat when I want, read when I want, see friends when I want to. I like that I don't have to make compromises in the way I spend time."

I like it just fine this way. Except for the cats, nobody controls me. I come and go when I please, stay up late if I want to, eat meals when I want to, don't have to worry about somebody else's messes, habits, tics, smells, etc. I've been married; no inclination to do it again (not that anybody's asking). Life is good.

I have been married and divorced, I have had long-term relationships, but I am happier alone. I can do what I want when I want. The only things that control me are my doggies and they are spoiled.
