I have been married, lived with men and lived as a single person. Having worked as a private relationship expert and life coach, I have also advised and listened to lots of men and women about their lifestyles.

Some people are very independent and capable, both financially and emotionally, and need lots of time on their own. They do not need marriage at all and would probably wither and die if they tried to live as a married person.

You are free to come and go as you please and see whoever you please without having to sneak about , tell lies or have arguments. You are free to talk on the phone to whoever you want without problems. You can have friends around whenever you wish, talking in private. You do not have to worry about someone sneakily looking at your diary or checking your mobile phone.
