Ok since this needs to be said:
I don& #39;t hate being single. Given the way life has played out, I will be going into my 40s a single woman. While I love the life I have now and will have after the pandemic, phrases like "At least you& #39;re not being cheated on" and

"At least your time is your own" or any other variation of an "At least your not..." or "At least you don& #39;t..." statement aren& #39;t helpful. I& #39;ve cried myself to sleep out of sheer loneliness thanks to the pandemic keeping me shut in with my thoughts and at no time did remembering

What& #39;s not there help. Once outside is safe and I have more ways to cope at my disposal and this won& #39;t bother me as much. It& #39;s normal and healthy to be absolutely fine being single but still crave a loving, supportive, healthy, happy relationship. I can do both at the same time.
