Being single is not worse than being married; in many cases, it is better, but, at the very least, it is just different.
Being single, free, and unencumbered can be quite good. Women everywhere are learning that there's real appeal to being single and having the ability to live the way you want, spend your time and money the way you want, and to just be.
I know what some of you may say: Have a baby on your own; adopt; foster. And a few of you may say: Sorry, lady, you should have thought of that earlier. You're just too old. But I want to be a mother.

The divorce is official, your custody arrangement has been hammered out, and you've finally said sayonara to your ex -- for good. Now what? For man...
A new study suggests American singles are taking their search for love into the wild. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) says there has been a major rise in pet ownership among singles since 2006 as they look to fill a sense of love and family in their lives. I
I slept with a married guy. I wish I could say this was a one-time thing, but it's not the first time I've been the other woman.
While nowadays, everyone buzzes about how expensive weddings can be, it turns out the price tag on one's nuptials is a mere pittance compared to the cost of remaining single.
Losing love by breakup or death is one of the most profound and stressful things we as human beings can experience.
If you're single and feeling like everyone around you is coupled up, take heart: you're not the only one currently going it alone. Just take a loo...
We may have biological clocks when it comes to having children, but we have no expiration date on our ability to grow. If we want to evolve in our ability to love (or create, or learn to be contentedly single), the most important thing is the word "want."
I have found a disturbing trend happening in our society. Some people are actually falling into the habit of being late. And what is worse is that they find it totally acceptable.
As marriage equality has evolved over the last year we have become wildly aware of one overlooked group: The Single. It's official. The nuclear family has had a meltdown.
Who decided that being single and 30- or 40-something is a bad thing? I could be cynical here and say that the marrieds respond this way because misery loves company. But, really, most people are conditioned to believe that there is only one path that "normal" people follow.

I wonder if there are any adults over 50 who still like Valentine's Day. For me, it has always been a day filled with pain, disappointment or pressure.
Try this on Valentine's Day: Deliberately and defiantly stay home and have a wonderful evening for one.
Valentine's Day is soon upon us and a quick glance around just about any store is proof of that. We are surrounded by The Day of Romance, Hearts and Flowers (usually starting on December 26th). But what if you aren't coupled off?
Dominic Monaghan today stars on the BBC nature/travel show Wild Things, but he's perhaps best known to pop culture junkies as Charlie Pace on the TV adventure series Lost.
