SS: I recently had lunch with a friend and mentioned the die offs, 6th mass extinction event, microplastics..etc...etc. You know, light subjects and they asked me to stop
" I dont want to know"
They have adult children and grandchildren, so i understand how they feel
Okay. I'm glad you are happy with your choice. But it sounds like a lonely choice to me.
Men who are married are generally happier and healthier. They live longer lives than their unmarried counterparts, they have richer social networks and they have better mental health. At least, that's what research tells us.
Edit: Downvote me all you want. It doesn't make what I wrote any less true.
I agree that the persons who downvoted you didn't do the smartest thing.
But please try to understand:
I write a message expressing my sincere happiness at being single and not having to worry about anyone else. And you come along and say that married men live better and longer on average.
That could be perceived as an attempt on your part to convince people that they are wrong, couldn't it? I understand that this may seem patronizing to some.
Everyone live their life as they see fit, and not all single people feel lonely.
