Are there any other single by choice women on here who just feel like leaving the one line ”I'm so glad I'm Single" on most of these threads?

Seriously? Ladies who can't read the books that they want to. Ladies who can't watch the TV that they want to. Partners demanding that their wives empty washing machines at midnight.

This is truly not a goady post but I have to stop myself from being goady and leaving that one line on the vast majority of threads here.

There's an even bigger difference between a good friend and a good husband.

Domestic violence within lesbian relationships is a serious issue, occurring at rates similar to those seen in heterosexual relationships. While the prevalence of physical abuse is comparable to heterosexual relationships, some studies suggest higher rates of psychological abuse within lesbian relationships.

You didn't finish the sentence - they thanked god they were married to those particular men. Lots of seriously ill women would be better off WITHOUT their useless husbands.

Exactly. Dogs are cleaner and less annoying.

I'm really OP. But despite what you clearly want to believe, some men are excellent husbands and fathers.

Do you never pick up your dogs shit? At least kids grow out of it. 🤮

My internal response is often "thank goodness I have the lovely DH I do" which is probably even smugger, especially when I internally pat myself on the back for my great life choice there.

A quick pickup outdoors isn’t as grim as carrying human shit-dripping garments around and washing them in the toilet. Day after day. Gag.

With kids, that bit lasts a couple of weeks. With dogs, it's ten, fifteen years.
Hardly a comparison

I have two children and I literally never did that. Not once. I changed plenty of nappies and emptied some potties but never ones had to carry shitty pants about with me for an entire day before cleaning them in a toilet.

I think picking up dog shit is disgusting and having to wash fox poo off of a dog that's rolled around in it and then dogs licking kids faces not long after they've eaten another dogs shit. These are all things that my friends dogs have done. But I don't need to say out loud or even think inside my head - thank god I don't have a dog, because I don't feel the need to constantly validate my life choices. They just are what they are.

I have two children - I have never once done this.

I have 3 kids and have never carried shit around either. Maybe I was lucky but they never shat themselves.

Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣

I am not single and none of these things apply to me. My life is EASIER because I am not single.

My life is not easier because I have children however 😂.

These women in really unhappy, unbalanced and borderline abusive relationships won't really find any comfort in you being single, but the women in happy relationships like I am might pity you. I can't see how it helps anyone, can you?

we don't NEED anything. Some of us prefer to have a partner though.

There's a lot of things I am perfectly capable of doing on my own. I just don't want to.

I am not sure why you feel the need to start a thread, do you need validation? Are you trying to convince yourself of something?

I would never say it, but I read thread after thread on here that make me glad I decided to go it alone and have a baby using a sperm donor. I am sympathetic, I can completely see how lots of people end up in difficult and complicated relationships, I’m just glad it isn’t me. The flip side of course is how incredibly difficult it is financially as a single parent. So I would never in a million years comment on someone’s post ‘thank god I’m single’ but i do think it.

There are many, many threads on here that I read and think wow- I am so glad thats not me! Not just about useless partners, but all kinds of posts.

I think it. I dont say it though because I presume those people are looking for support/advice so what would saying it achieve other than making yourself look like a complete dick?

Why would you pity someone who is single if being single is what they want?

It was just in reply to the "so glad to be single" and the smug fake-pity of non-single people.

Either way, it's the sense of superiority I am making fun of. Isn't it bizarre to feel superior because you are single? (Or married, or have children, or don't have children)

If you are happy with your lot, you just are. You don't need to compare with others.

To be clear, I am making fun of the thread, I couldn't care less about the relationship status of anyone else.

Yes that's true if you are happy with your lot you are less likely to compare.

See, this is what I am open to. If I found a man that actually enriched my life then I’d be up for a relationship. Until then I won’t be settling for mediocre. That isn’t enough for me to want to change my life to accommodate someone else. People tell me my standards are ‘too high’ or that I’m ‘fussy’ but that’s nonsense. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. I’m not fussed.

If I do it's usually on the shitshow dating ones just to remind people that it is OK to be single, especially if they are feeling they have to make huge compromises or settle. I'm of the 'if you want company, get a pet' school though.

I look at those threads and think 'Thank God I married a decent man'.

I look at those threads and often think, "Why did you marry him?"
