Being a singleton can be a positive thing after years with a husband!

Ok this is a thread to cheer us all up!

Here are my top five reasons I am enjoying being single!

1. No more shouting when the kids lose things, I lose things he loses things!
2. I can make my own mind up about when and where I go and for that matter can have chats with the kids about their choices!
3. I am calmer and so is the house!
4. I can go on mumsnet whenever I want wihtout someone having a go!
5. I choose things in my life which I like and I onyl compromise for my kids!

Hmmmm....have to say that sounds very attractive to me.... maybe that's part of my problem .

Glad it's turned out so well for you

Glitter you make it sound bloody great... think i might get locks changed before DH comes home from work.

agree
also for me:

• no fighting over the remote (TV usually off now anyway if noting on, rather than mindless flicking)
• no blame-game of who's turn it is to do some chore, which I would invailable end up doing. Now I just get on with it and find I do less than before and the house looks better strangely.

-kids more settles, I'm more relaxed and rested, life is more fun.

My anti-depressants have well & truely kicked in, so I am full of the joys of spring & summer. My top five reasons for why I currently love being single are:

1. No one nagging at me & trying to find fault
2. Not worrying about what mood he'll be when he comes in.
3. Not feeling resentful about doing everything
4. No biting sarcasm directed towards the children
5. A happy, relaxed household

Oh this thread is cheering me up, GF!

Good! that was the point and although it is nowhere near sorted for me sometimes lookingat your gains rather than your minuses really helps!

More!

1. Watching the channels I want and no more WW2 films about submarines or holocaust!
2. Eating what I want when I want!
3. Feeling that I live in my space!
4. No more worries about what will happen if I do something wrong!
5. Being able to laugh out loud without fear!

bump!
