Ian Simm Bella DePaulo It's wild how people imagine we have all this free time when what we have is bigger plates to fill at the all you can eat buffet that is life & you know you're never going to run out of things to try.

Bella DePaulo In my case, various creative outlets (art, music, chess etc.), contacting and/or meeting parents, social activities with colleagues & Meetup groups, and despite being nearly 40, never married and no kids I still find that there often aren't enough hours in the day for everything.

Fixed it! “Every woman’s biggest nightmare is marriage.”

Whatever I want to! I’m 70 and I’ve been single (with no kids) my entire life. It never gets old. #SingleAtHeart apollopublishers.com/index.php/sing…

'How to be married and happy? Learning to love your married self is the key. Work on yourself while you are married.' This is fantastic! Married people need self esteem too!

Congratulations!

Thank you, Janel Forsythe ! I'm all about shame-busting and instead recognizing the potential for flourishing in single life.

Bella DePaulo 💯 Everything changes, so even if you find the 'One,' is that 'One' guaranteed to stay the same?

Bella DePaulo 'The single at heart do not feel alone in the world. And we are not afraid of spending time alone. In fact, we cherish our solitude. That’s one of our superpowers.' The truth of this struck me on a very deep level. Just wow!

Written before the divorce: “I just wish they could muster a bit of resistance to the romantic fantasy that deprives them of the joy and fulfillment they could be experiencing in their single lives and belittles the love they already have.” #SingleAtHeart

Welcome counterpoint to all the marriage triumphalism. Philip N Cohen on Melissa S. Kearney 2-parent privilege book: “She just thinks marriage is better. . . an ideological attachment to the institution seems to be the only reason left to write it.”
