To miss the single life

[grannysmiff]

Obviously i love and adore him and love being with him!

But surely i cant be the only one on here who misses the single life?

The thrill of heading out for the night not knowing who you might meet
Meals for one
Total silence
Sunday morning waking up and no discussion or pondering just do exactly as i please with no compromise or letting someone know
Making decisions without taking someone else into account
Having my space exactly as i want, no debate or compromise

Its not him and i dont want to leave him just - man the single lifehad its upsides!

Amirite?

Comtesse agree with everything.**

I don’t think I ever want to live with a partner again.* Currently have a boyfriend I see most weekends - I’m having my cake and eating it. Everything my own way in my own house but the benefit of having someone in my life to do things with and who cares about me.*

To the PP who wishes she were in a couple for the 'walks on the beach'.
You may be watching the wrong films.

Personally I didn’t enjoy being single nearly so much as being in a relationship and there is very little about it that I miss.

Its little things like someone else mentioned (thinking fuck it ill just have Doritos and a glass of milk for tea vs cooking for 2) but also slightly bigger things like:
My cats wake him up at 5am (dont everyones?!) and whereas normally i would just roll my eyes and kick them out of the bedroom, hes all huffy and annoyed. If i were alone and in my own place i could just let them be!

I love time alone, 30 years married but my happiest times are when DH is away not frequently enough. I can choose when to work and frequently work weekends so I get the bliss of a days all to myself at home or whatever I want to do.

I find being with someone else very draining, perhaps I've just been married too long .

I think you can have the best of both worlds, if you set the bar high at the start of a relationship.

My bar for choosing to give up being single is so high it's stratospheric.

I thought that a few weeks ago then I went into town with my mates and got hit on by so many sleezy guys (not stealth boost, they hit on anything female) obviously looking for sex. One guy smiled at my mate and she smiled back the next thing his girlfriend was threading to smash her face in.
I have never been so glad to see DH in my life when I got home
