Can somebody remind me

[mummytasha11]

Why being single is great?

Feeling pretty lonely tonight and need a reminder

Whole bed to yourself, have whatever you want for dinner. Pleasing you and only you.

You don't end up collecting all your partner's used glasses/mugs from all over your flat when it's time to do the washing up. No one creeping onto your side of the bed. No lukewarm (bordering on freezing) showers after someone else has used all the hot water after being in there for half an hour.

Peace. Of. Mind.

That is all

So many men, so little time.

No snoring
No burps
No farts in bed
No bath mat left in a crumpled heap
No evasive excuses to get out of a long planned social event to watch a third rate team on tv
No worrying about why s/he is late again from the office
No argument about whose turn it is to put out the bins
No vile inlaws/out laws
No arguments about where to go on holiday
No need to meet terminally boring people in pub

Ability to do what you want, when you want. How you want.

Knowing that you don't need anyone else to get things done.

Possibilities. Opportunities. Being in control of your own destiny. Having complete freedom to say, do or be anything you like. Zero compromises.

The most important one that I reeeeeaaally enjoyed when single - never being affected by other people's moods. Friends stay at home when feeling grumpy, as do husbands...

Oh, and of course it works the other way round as well. No one gets offended by your grumpiness either!

Freedom and opportunity.

Loneliness in a relationship is a LOT worse than loneliness because you are on your own.

You can eat as much garlic as you want.

Is it just lonely in the relationship aspect, or lack of friends too?
