1. I'm always happy when I have someone to share with, in both directions
but I'm working upon being happy with myself when alone. You have to have both.

2. My dear bac511...
I've been married for over 42 years, so I haven't been alone in a very long time...

And I'm sure that if I'm ever widowed, I will be looking for another husband after I've recovered from that loss...

I love love love being married!

3. That depends
on who the other person in the relationship is, I suppose. ;) At the moment, though, I'm pretty happy being single - sure, I get lonely sometimes, but right now I'm not really ready for a big commitment, relationship-wise. :shrug:

4. Single and happy.
Previous relationships, including marriage, were, shall we say, disappointing.

7. I've found much greater happiness alone.
Happiness in relationships has been fleeting at best for me. That's putting it nicely.

17. exactly
I've learned to savor life alone, rarely if ever feeling lonely unless in a crowd.

10. I've been happy single
and in a relationship

right now

I'm not really very happy

but I'm not torn up sad either.

Right now I'm angry, angry that I seem (by my perception) to be getting the second pick in how things go with sharing custody of our son.

I don't know if I "should" be, but I am.

I'm not happy single right now

I'm not happy in the way I'd like to be happy.

11. I've always been happy generally, but finding my partner 19 years ago helped me reach a new level...
of sweet contentment.
