You definately do not need a man to be happy. I have not been in a relationship for 7 years because, frankly, my depression & anxiety are just too problematic at this time in my life. Do I miss having a S.O.? yes, but I think it bothered me more in my thirties when I was obsessed with having a child. Now that that time in my life has passed, I would like to be in a relationship for me, not to get something out of it.

Our society still puts a lot of pressure on women who are unattached. Like something has to be wrong with us for wanting to be alone. Makes me angry.
