I'm married, so yes, I have a companion, but there are times when we don't go out with each other. I love musicals. Hubby can't stand 'em, so I don't force him to go.
I read an article a while ago -- an interview with an African American female psychologist -- who attributes the overwhelming number of single women in the Af. Am. community to black women's attitudes. She wasn't saying that our attitudes were bad, or somehow worse than other women, but she did say that a lot of us are walking around clinically depressed and we don't even realize it/don't want to realize it, which has a definite effect on our ability to start and maintain healthy relationships. It was definitely food for thought.
