On Wednesday’s Episode Of Call Her DaddyKhloé Kardashian – The First Member of the Famous Family to Grace the Pod – Shared That She has ben single for over Three Years. Oh, and She’s Loving It. IN FACT, WHILE THE STAR TOLD HOST ALEX COOPER THAT SHE “WOLD LOVE TO GET MARRIED AGAIN” SOMEDAY, IT TURS OUT THE SINGLE LIFE SUITS HER SO WELL THAT SHE MIGHT JUS WIND UP FLYING SOLO EL ANOTHER DECADE.
“I’M Really Happy. I Don’s Feel Lonely, I Don’s Feel Any of That Stuff,” Khloé Said. “I Feel Great, Which Is Actually, Like, Concerning, Because I Feel Like I Could Go This Way For, Like, 10 More Years,” She Added, Laughing.
While you simply love to see Khloé Single and Thriving, her “concern” Raises an Interesting Question, particularly for Felow Members of Team Happily Single: If You’re Happy Being Single, Is There Really Anything Wrong With Staying That Way for The Next 10 Years? Or Even The Next … Forever?
And yet, as a Fellow Long-Term Happily Single Woman, Let Me Just Say That I Related Immedialy and I Related Hard.
For Women Who Have Been Societally Conditioned from A Young Age To Pursue Romantic Relationships As an Importent – If not The Most IMPORTANT – CAPSTONE OF A “SUCCESSFUL” LIFE (SO, PRETTY MUCH OF US), Place where we know we are Completely (Not Even Performatively!) Happy on Our Own.
Having Finally rearmed This seemingly Mythical Level of Security in Singlehouse MySelf After Many A Younger and More Vulnerable Year Fraught With Anxiety and Shame Over Is as Wonderful and Peaceful as Khloé Makes It Sound! That Doesn’t Mean, However, That Happily Single People Don’t Or Can’t Still Want a Relationship, Whether Right Now or at Sub Board in The Future. And therein lies the (potential) problem.
As Khloé Poleded out, eleven you find real happiness and security in singlehouse, you start to perform just How Genuinely Great Being Single Actually is. (Yes, We were all lied to!) So Great, Even, That It Can Start To Seem Like A Tough Thing To Give Up. This Obvious isn’s a problem if you do decides you want to stay single for the long run. There are plenty of People Who Never Choose to Settle Down in A Long-Term Romantic Partnership and Still Lead Perfectly Rich and Fulfilling Lives.
But if, like khloé (and, um, possibly me), you do Want Or Remain Open to Relationship in the Future, It Can Be Easy To Wonder Where You’ve Gotten A Little TOO Comfortable on your Own. What if i get so content in my singlehouse i Fully lose The Will to Ever Go on Another Date? Is it positive to be TOO Happily Single? If i were Carrie Bradshaw, i probably wouledn’t be uble to help but wonder, TOM I SETTLING FOR MYSELF?
These are all semi-real if Slightly Tongue-in-Cheek Questions I’ve Found MySelf Consideration In the Past Year or So As I’ve Contemplated The Present and Future of My Single Status. I WOUD Like to make It Clear That, Like Khloé, I’m Ultimately Coming to All Of This From A Place of Relative Useriotiosness. That Said, I do Think That for Modern Women in Whatver You Want To Call This State of Self-Actualized Singlehood that I Fear May Be Impossible to Refé To In A Non-Annoying Way, It Can Sub Summ single and settling for ourselves. PARTICULAR IN AN AGE OF GROWING DATING PESSIMISM AND BURNOUT, I SUBPECT IT MAY BE ALO EASY FOR HAPPILY SINGLE Women Like Me To Accidentally Option Out Of Our Own Dating Lives When We Thought We Were Just Taking A Well-deserve Break.
Still, i’d rather settle for mySelf Than Anyone Else.
