Author Gunny376 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Shared times, memories and music Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away And I'm wonderin' why you left And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight Chorus: I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say And there's a message that I'm sending out, like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload (chorus) I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight (chorus) Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you...

Butterflair Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Let's see.. I don't have to cook dinner every night, I can eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don't have to do laundry because you ran out of socks. I can stay on the computer and shoot zombies as late as want, even at 5 am. The bathroom stays clean. I get two towel racks More closet space I can make casseroles and beans now. I don't have to eat Japanese food every week. I can do nothing all day and no one complains. No one complains about my driving anymore. I can save my money and know I have full control of where it goes. No shoes left out all over the house. No dirt tracked in. The kettle bells and weights are out of the house. That's all I can think of for now. Link to post Share on other sites

That was my X that did that! Christmas, birthdays, Valentines Day? If my name isn't on your birth certificate or your parent's birth certificate? Don't expect anything!

SarahRose Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 y'all protest too much. If being single was so great, people would stop trying to find a new partner and most of the people on here do just that. Link to post Share on other sites

If being single was so great, people would stop trying to find a new partner and most of the people on here do just that. Are you that insecure that you cannot appreciate one good thing about being single? Stop being a party pooper! No one is saying being single is the BETTER option than being with a partner, but there are definitely some very nice things about the single life and that is all this thread is pointing out.

soul searching Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 By far, the best one imo is not feeling guilty about when I want to go out and do something... no matter what it is. The FREEDOM gives such a feeling of relief. I never realized what a dark cloud I was living under - his expectations! Literally every person who is just finding out about my divorce tells me that I seem so much happier now... I guess I didn't know how much I was giving off an unhappy vibe - especially when things were falling apart (Sept. - Dec.) So, even other people's reactions to me, attention I am getting because I am feeling happier as I am recovering, would have to be a great thing about being single. Meeting new people and the excitement of having new sexual interests and prospects definitely comes in as a close second!!! Link to post Share on other sites
foreal Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 **Not waking up in the middle of the night next to a lieing, cheating, cake eating Ahole and thinking to myself, "Why am I here next to a lieing, cheating, cake eating Ahole?" then staying awake the rest of the night... Now I wake up and think, "Gawd, the middle of this bed feels great!" then I roll over and go back to sleep... Link to post Share on other sites
worldgirl Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 You just cannot go wrong being by and living with yourself! All right, no harm in a positive post guys, but as for me - well, I could have done many of these things anyway, since I had a very egalatarian and relaxed marriage. My husband was a better housekeeper than me, even down to toilets, always washed and ironed his own clothes too. I often went out with my own friends, and if I didn't want to cook for us, he just made something on his own. However, our loving, fun marriage of 28 years ended when he suddenly deserted me without warning in December and moved abroad. I take little pleasure in eating popcorn for dinner etc. Sorry to inject a serious note into this, but I think that living by yourself and pleasing yourself is all very well for a bit, but it would be sad if our society cracked up into selfish little one-person units who have to do everything exactly their way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
