Tis true, i just thought it would have been much worse than this, apparently was mistaken0 -
I'm married....now what do I do?0

As horrible as this sounds, ive actually enjoyed being single for the last two months, been able to get more work done, been able to exercise more, and just been an all around happier person lately. Is this such a bad thing?
Totally realized that i said two, lol, really meant few months0 -

Um love your spouse? maybe? hahaha0 -
Eh. I have a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, so maybe it's different that way, but I also really like the idea of having someone there you can talk to who won't judge you without having to pay them to be your therapist rsrsrs. My boyfriend is totally my motivation. If I didn't have him, I wouldn't be where I am now.0

Well I'm not single but since my SO is working out of state til August I kinda feel like I am. Definitely enjoy the extra time though to work out and get more done. I can't wait til he gets back but this helps pass the time and the extra motivation to look awesome when he gets back

I've been really enjoying being single too. I've been able to push myself further on my own and change my habits to what's best for me not for someone else. It's been great0

I agree. I went through a little phase where I felt sorry for myself.. now I feel like I'm on top of the world being single!
I do miss the intimacy with someone but in time that will come. For now, it's all about ME. I do as I please, I come home at 5am if I want. I spend the night at friends house whenever I want. I go running and then go shopping after. I buy groceries just for me, to my liking. I jam out when I'm cooking to whatever music I want. I go on dates and talk on the phone at 4 a.m if I want with someone who's had 5 beers.. (

It's pretty awesome!!!0 -
@Wileyjoe - I was there and not happy. I made the decision to find happiness.
Same here.0 -
I've been single for the past two years (until very recently) and I love having the apartment and time to myself. I actually get a bit annoyed when my current beau invites himself over sometimes. I've got used to the space.0

I can relate. I was thinking this morning that I might just stay this way. It's really pleasant. 14 years of marriage, and I'm free now and I can't see ever going back to that kind of life at all. I really love coming home and not having to talk to anyone. Ha! I know not everyone is like that, but people drain my energy, and I need to recharge. I can do whatever I want. And, when it comes to spending money, I don't have to ask anyone. Even big ticket items. I play guitar, and it's been fun buying guitars when I feel like it and I have the cash available. In the old days, it was like, "Honey, I'd really love to buy that guitar", and she'd be like, "Yeah, but we really need to replace the refrigerator".
F--- that! Ha! Now, I just do what I want. I have more time for me, for exercising, for eating right, for being friends with people I want to be friends with, etc. It's really great all the way around.
I'm sure I'll meet someone that will just take my breath away and that will be that. But, until then, I'm just really loving being single.
There was a time, a few years ago, when I thought I was going to die. Now, I've come out of it, and it's just like this whole new world. Amazing.0 -

I also find it amazing how emotionally draining the dating scene can be....especially online dating.
Agreed.
And agreed to OP's post. I really love having my time to myself, and the snuggling leads to trouble and headaches 0 -

It's about 90 minutes north of NYC...in-between Poughkeepsie & Fishkill.

Uh oh!! :drinker:0 -
I agree, it's not a bad thing at all....lonely at times on the days I don't have my son and what not, but working, working out, etc keeps me busy and keeps me happy

NO kidding...online dating sucks donkey. Just sayin'. :drinker:0 -
I don't get the loney thing. I just don't ever get loney or ever feel the want of company. Maybe I'm just weird that way. I'm cool just being alone all day long.
Last weekend, I have a 4-day weekend. And, it hand't occurred to me until I left the house to go have dinner, that I hadn't talked to anyone in like 3 days. Not a soul. I just ran, did house cleaning, ran some errands, played my guitar, and working around the house was a lot of work and took a lot of time, then I read, watched a movie on Netflix...I mean, I just don't ever feel like I'm lonely. i just keep moving, I guess. Oh, and the mid-day naps were awesome too. I even turned off my phone, in case it rang. I seek out peace and quiet. But, my work is very stressful, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Dont' get me wrong, i love having dinner parties, going out with friends, travelling and all that. it's just I enjoy quiet time just as much and it never occurs to me that I'm lonely. I guess I'm lucky because I hear that a lot from other single friends.0 -
I seem to get much more done being single as well. Can keep track of my diet and exercise better, can do whatever I want when I want....0

I'm widowed, 10 years now. I thought i'd fall to pieces! I'm stronger now and my children are teens. I can do it all by myself, but like some of you mentioned, I miss the comfort of someone to lean on when your looking at something daunting. I'd like to be married. this dating thing is a challenge. maybe I'm just picky, because as you get older and wiser, you know what you're looking for and what you don't want in your life.0 -

it changes when you have children involved... 0 -
i enjoy the freedom of it and the control it gives me over my schedule.
however, i think this kind of tends to peak in a year or so.
eventually, i started to notice that events in my life seemed less significant without someone else to experience them with me. i suppose it is a distortion of perspective.
either way, i'm considering dating again after taking a break.0 -
I looooooooooovvveee being single!!!!!!!!!0

I have always enjoyed being single but sooner or later I always fall prey to thinking it'll be better this go round...its not lol.0

There is more to life than having a partner. I enjoy my life immensely without having a partner, and I don't feel even a little guilty for it. If I meet someone whose world and mine combine without too much effort, then that's nice. But I'm good on my own.0

My guy is gone for a while at times and I find that the time to myself is quite nice. Nothing wrong with that!0
