Worst thing about being single is?....

[Pjsandbaileys]

It's not having someone to do things with it's have someone to do nothing with.....mudane chit chat with, dinner plans, tv watching etc 🙃

Right now , no one to scratch my back ! door frames just don't cut it
It can be lonely , there are times when I come home from work and want to talk to someone , rarely anything important just stuff .
I dont have any friends other than a few people I know in my local .

However been able to come and go as and when I please eat what and when I want and not have to put up with sport been on tv all the time is a blessing.

...managing on one income.
Can't think of any other negatives

Missillusioned
I could of done with that today I have been cleaning my carpets and my 9 foot sofa weighs a ton !

Feeling so responsible for everyone/everything all the bloody time...teen daughter, 3 pets and my elderly parents, plus a full time job...frankly it's a bit of a shitter but still easier than being married!

The freedom? The cash to spend on yourself? Not having to answer to anyone?

When I was single I thought I was ok , quite happy , but since being back in a good relationship I've realised just how bloody lonely it was , ok I did loads of stuff with friends and on my own including lots of trips and adventures but nothing like the fun of sharing with a partner
So I would say loneliness and not being able to share life with someone

No one to kill spiders for you.

One income. No one to share the burden with. But other than that, no downsides! I am less lonely now than I was with my cheating ex.

Worst thing .... probably all the friends around you married/engaged with kids, house and life's just GREAT

The only downside there is only 1 for me and it’s no sex

Its one of those very subjective questions isnt it. I'm very happy on my own, but there have been times when I have felt very alone so I can understand those feelings.
But I've reached a point where I'm content with life. At the moment I have a nice strapping son who takes the bins, lifts heavy things and plonks a cup of tea at my bedside at 7.15 every morning.

Worst thing is that it's always my turn to do the washing up, put the bins out, deal with the car...

This. Can’t afford staff to delegate it to...

I have to make every single cup of tea. I tried training the cats but they never got the colour right 😢

And I'm the only one who ever empties the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher.

On the whole I like being single, I'm not lonely, work full time have the kids and great family & friends. But I do miss the intimacy, snuggling on the sofa, spooning in bed...
I wouldn't want to be single forever.

Can't think of any downside to being single its much easier and more fun than being in a relationship.

It's rubbish when you're ill as you can go days without seeing anyone.

Absolutely bloody nothing

Nothing! It’s bloody great!

Changing the quilt cover.

Apart from that, I've got a fantastic life.

Having to put the bins out on a Sunday evening. Other then that... Nothing!

Nothing. Being single is heaven.

@Broombroomshaketheroom Ugh. I may we’ll be a single mother soon enough so would love to hear more about “those” men and how to spot them so I can avoid them. Not that I have any interest in another relationship if/when this one ends. Can you elaborate?

I’m having a better time single than I ever had with my ex! So much more in my life now!

Being asked, "So how's your love life?" (usually asked by smug marrieds). I always reply with, "How's yours?" Soon shuts them up 🤣

Waking up on a Sunday morning after an uncomfortable night tossing and turning - still wearing the pretty dress you put on yesterday to cheer yourself up, because by thr time you got to bed after doing All The Things because there's nobody else to do them, the kids are fast asleep and you can't bring yourself to wake them to unzip the damn thing
