Curmudgeon Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 so...what's so great about being a single girl?? anything?? I was one for a few years after divorcing the ex. I came to love the peace, quiet, solitude and order of my life alone. Didn't date for over two years and had no desire to do so. Living alone was wonderful. There was no one to be responsible to or for but myself. No one to have to answer to or have answerable to me. I could come and go as I pleased without conflict or inconvenience, eat what I wanted, when I wanted, or not at all if that's what I wanted. I had the bed, the refrigerator, the bathroom and the television all to myself and life was calm and refreshing. Link to post Share on other sites

Curmudgeon Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 You don't have the experience of falling into the toilet because the seat was left up. Maybe that's because I ALWAYS put the seat down (my Momma raised me right) and I also tend to look first before I sit anywhere! Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 there are soooo much benefits of being single: doing what I want when I want with who I want; having my space; spending my money on whatever turns me on; my house is always clean; eat when I'm hungry; eat in front of the television, watching MY shows; no snoring... I'm sure there are more ... Link to post Share on other sites

You are a good man, perhaps a rare breed. Well, I think even the best people can forget, especially when younger. I also think my ex did this sometimes just to literally piss me off. I will also add that I do/did look, but at night, when it's dark and when you are sleepy, it is most unpleasant to forget to check and get that wake up call. I got revenge once, at night by rinsing off in the sink then running to bed with my wet fanny and told him he had to deal with what he did. Great fun that was. Link to post Share on other sites

Trialbyfire Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hahaha...I grew up with a father and two brothers in the household. I never sit down without checking, no matter what time of day or night it is. Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hahaha...I grew up with a father and two brothers in the household. I never sit down without checking, no matter what time of day or night it is. That's funny because I'm now "trained" that way too. I check even if it's in a home I'm visiting that doesn't have a man living in it. It's just a habit now. But I still can't understand how a mother with four girls and a boy, didn't teach his son to put the #*%'ing seat down! Other than that though, he's ok. (And sadgirl, since you're so sad I'll forgive you for stealing my thread idea!) Link to post Share on other sites

Dumbledore Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Time to get this thread back on-topic. There is nothing good about being single. If someone says there is something good, then they are at best naive, and at worst a liar. Link to post Share on other sites

Dumbledore Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Depends on who you're married to. That's a very interesting hypothesis, but closer inspection soon reveals that you're wrong. Enough said. Link to post Share on other sites

If someone says there is something good, then they are at best naive, and at worst a liar. Oh how I pity you. Your whole happiness is dependent on another person, and once that person leaves, you're left miserable. Truly sad that you cant find happiness within yourself and enjoy your own company. The best thing about being single is FREEDOM! Freedom to do as I please, when I please and whom I please, as often or as little as I please. Freedom from nagging and compromises and snoring! Freedom to watch what i want, eat what I want, clean whenever I want, sleep whenever I want, go where ever i want, talk to whomever I want, and when I'm sick of being in the company of other people, i'm FREE to go home, to my own place, where I can enjoy PEACE AND QUIET. There are a LOT of positives to being single. Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen both sides...and I prefer by far to be single.. and to see whoever I want, whenever I want. It's only been 6 years now... that I've been single... so maybe I'm still in my honeymoon with myself.. LOL Link to post Share on other sites
