| the joys of being single
Posted: 2/22/2008 5:08:03 PM | I have lots of married friends and if that isn't a reason for staying single, I don't know what is. I have never seen so many unhappy people. However, I do believe in true love and would want to find mine one day, but until then I will live my life as though I were single  Oh yes, one more advantage, not having to ask permission for every little thing you want to do (as a lot of my above mentioned married friends do). | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 5:23:52 PM | | Being single also means being alone. Much. Far too much. It means seeing others walk hand in hand and wonder why one is alone. Being single means late evenings too quiet, and nights too lonely, it means exciting or fun things one would like to share, but has no one to share with. Sharing with friends is not the same - especially not when one's friends are all married, have children. Being single means the absence of the life-giving, joyful glow of being with someone one likes, desires, esteems, and admires and is liked, desired, esteemed and admired by. | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 5:48:39 PM | I agree with all who enjoy single life. It's not the negative disease to avoid that a lot of people think it is (or would like us to believe it is).
I believe everyone is ok with different things, and for those who feel they want someone in their life or that they must be in a relationship, that's their thing.
Me, I'd prefer not to treat finding a mate like implementing a business plan - I'd rather enjoy my life single and should I bump into someone that is a match for me and the way my life is now, then so be it.
If not, I don't plan on spending most of my single life wishing I wasn't - life's too short to miss what's not there. | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 7:16:41 PM | Wowe op. all those things you listed.... that dosent sound like a relationship of love, in the first place...... no wonder.... if you were living like that, you dont miss that...
theres a difference between being single...being in a non loving relationship and being in a loving relationship.. You described a nonloving/insecure relationship..
yes id prefer to be single then have to deal with any of your reasons..
Theres lots of reasons to enjoy being single...or as you described not being in a bad relationship.
good luck..
smiles/peace | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 7:55:05 PM | | I agree with rich1956, I've been sinlge most of my 40 years of life. The short time I was married was by far better than being alone, however I will add one thing--it's only better if it's with the right person. Otherwise....well you know the rest! | |

I kind of agree with Red. You don't have to worry when w/o someone. I'm used to being single and I like it but it's nice having someone if you can truly trust them. Trust is a big responsibility, especially if it's with someone from the internet. Relationships are nice when they are fun and happy. When it becomes hard work, it sucks! | |

Posted: 2/23/2008 6:47:06 AM | | I dont understand why people make a deal out of being single. If those people were really happy with them selves, and with being by themselves then maybe it would not be such a big deal if they dont find a significant other real quick on this site. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but if someone beats themselves up over not finding a mate soon enough, maybe they need to get right with themselves first. I am single, not looking for a mate, only sex, but I like being alone. And not for the reason listed in the OP. I enjoy being with myself, and doing things by myself. Usually when we are not looking for our soul mates, thats when they come alone. | |

I'm NOT single and this is what I love about it:
1- no worrying why he has not txt/phoned
2- no wondering where he is and who he is with
3- no mind games
4- no worrying about dog breath in the morning
5- getting to be friends with his family and friends
6 - being able to slob around the house in your pj's and eat chocolate
7 - no worrying about is he going to cheat
Maybe some peeps should be, erm, screening a bit better before handing out their hearts?
Just a thought.

Posted: 2/24/2008 2:37:25 AM | A group of psychologists asked children between the ages of 4-8 What Love Is? One of the children (I think it was a little girl who was about 6 years old) said, "It's when Mommy sees Daddy sitting on the toilet and doesn't think it's gross." Kind of the equivalent of slobbing around the house in your pjs and eating chocolate....but you know what? I've heard LOTS of guys say that they think that their girl is VERY cute and cuddly when she's sitting there with NO makeup and her hair in a ponytail AND her sweats on! Sooo, maybe it's not about being "ABLE" to do all those things because you're single....maybe it's about being with the RIGHT someone who loves you for YOU and who you wouldn't worry about whether they're out cheating, txting someone else...etc....
And for those of us/you/who the heck EVER....who would love to be with that special someone....here's something to think about ~
* Every night someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.
* You mean the world to someone.
* Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
* At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
* A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
* To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
But, maybe the most interesting idea to remember is ~
* Never frown, even when you're sad because you don't know who is falling in love with your smile.
I know, I know....those things may sound kinda trite and silly and corny BUT if you really take the time to think about it, they sure will turn out to be the truth....and I think that gives us ALL a little hope. Maybe just learn to relish the time when you're alone and work on making YOU better so that by the time that "One" shows up, you're the best you that you can be??? (Or at least a better version of yourself than the one you began with, hm?) Anyone ever thought of trying that???

Posted: 6/26/2008 4:18:58 PM | No cleaning up after the slob
Hoping he gets what he deserves from the bimbo he's with now
No putting up with his drunk buddies
Knowing he's now being led around like a poodle while trying to hang on to his new woman
Knowing he cheated on me with her and she cheated on her boyfriend with him, so now they have to watch each other to see which one cheats first.
Oh the revenge of being single is sweet! | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 4:21:09 PM | Disclaimer: This is not directed at the OP or women in general, but is intended for amusement purposes only. It is, however, the truth as I see it.
1- no worrying why he has not txt u
I don’t text anybody. Exactly how much time do you have on your hands to worry about such a trivial thing?
2- no wondering where he is and who he is with
You have some trust issues. If it was me, I would be with the one I love or she would be with me.
3- no mind games
The ones you play? Sorry, but women play games. I don’t.
4- no worrying about ur dog breath in the morning
Who cares? Shut up and kiss me already! There are Tic Tacs on the night stand.
5- no having to be nice to their shitty family and friends
My family and friends are very nice and would love you. Otherwise I would have nothing to do with them.
6 - being able to slob around the house in your pj's and eat chocolate
You are sexy in your P.J.s with your hair mussed. I mussed it, remember? Here, I brought a giant bag of M&Ms and a romantic comedy for us to watch.
7 - no worrying about is he going to cheat
If you date the right man you don’t have to worry about such things. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 4:37:02 PM | Well Im certainly not feeling low about being single, I bloody love it.
I love the fact Im sat here with my feet up on my desk, supping bottles of stella, listening to iron Maiden - and no one is asking me what time Im coming to bed, or havent I had enough to drink?, or youve smoked a lot of fags tonight..etc etc... | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 4:57:21 PM | I didn't worry about any of that when married... If you worry about all those things you have issues.
I actually miss being married and with someone. MY issue now is finding someone who deserves me and me him! lol..
BTW, there are lots of joys being single...been that way for 6 yrs. But I also found lots of joys being with someone too. Guess it's the fine balance of things either way. You make the best of where you are NOW in life. Enjoy it!!!!

Posted: 6/27/2008 5:10:57 PM | After an abusive mom, living for 25 years with abusive husbands, every night I close my door, I think God I'm the only one on the inside of the house.
I still believe in the old saying, "I'd rather be miserable and single, than married and wish I were dead."
I also have a firm belief that if God had wanted us to have a partner 24/7, he/she would have attached one to the right or left hip. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 5:46:54 PM | | Loving this post. Too true. Whole lot less to worry about , although I cant really say its a worry not having anyone. Its not that important, now trying to keep the bank accound up and staying healthy with school etc. those are another. | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 5:49:36 PM | And just because your single doesnt mean youre lonely . You can be lonely as heck with someone, being within a relationship. One poster made it seem like you just dont have anythign unless you have someone. Being single doesnt mean you dont have friends/family to hang out with or do things with....damn | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 7:11:00 AM | I have been divorced for almost 2 years now, and have dated a little bit between march 07 and March 08. Than I realized I don't "NEED" to be with somebody. I want to be with somebody, but don't "NEED" to like I used to think.
I am going to speak for both sexes here. I am a huge people watcher and listener. The one reason I like being single is I don't have to hear the b!itching and complaining all the time. I have found that PEOPLE do nothing but bich and complain most of the time. Myself I don't want to be around that, and it is hard to find somebody out there who doesn't do it.
As far as some of the reasons given to what I think is a great thread. People worry too much about certain things.
Your bad breath in the morning. Hell we all have it so if somebody cannot accept it, see ya, I don't need to wake up every morning and the first thing I worry about is my breath
Lounging around eating chocolate. Again who cares unless it is all the time and you weigh +3 bills. I wouldn't want to be with that anyways
I guess my point is we all expect perfection out our spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends
and we are not going to find it. If we sit and think about what it is we are worried about for just an extra moment, we will find out that it really isn't worth worrying about. But I feel that way about most aspects of life.
As far as people judging single people wondering why they are single. I don't get that either. I haven't been in tons of relationships, because I choose to avoid all the contrversy that goes along with them.
Michelle's post said it perfect if somebody is happy being single why are others worried about it? It is because others have to worry about others business. Thank God I am not like that. I can care less what the next person is doing unless it involves me.
I live with my best friend and his girlfriend. He had to go get his daughter last night so her and I went to a happy hour and were talking about this very subject. To make a long story short, somebody at her work asked one of the co-workers why she is never in a relationship, and just dates. Her comeback was true to the point. All that being with somebody and sex is overrated. Oh so true in my opinion. | |
