    I don't have to wait until my next paycheck to pay the bills that were due in this paycheck because I never know how much of MY salary is going to be left be her (who refuses to have a job) for me to pay bills.

    Heck, just being able to handle my money how I want to.

    It doesn't matter if I eat dinner super late
    I can be optimistic
    Don't have to deal with paranoia that the world is an evil, evil place and people have bad intentions
    The sheets don't ride up half-way up the bed
    I can eat butter WITH salt
    I can open the windows and curtains - screw privacy I want light!
    I can attempt any project I want

    Based on what I knew about relationship (mostly bad ones), the benefits of me being single are:

    - My mood doesn't have to depend on someone else's mood when I get home.
    - I can watch whatever movie, documentary or tv show I want, all day if I want to
    - I can go on trips on my own and learn more about myself without having to keep in touch with anyone back home (I love losing track of time on vacation).
    - I can eat what I want when I want, don't have to make dinner for anyone
    - I can spend my Friday nights alone, at home, in my PJs, drinking wine, watching crap tv, reading and just enjoying time on my own without having to entertain anyone else after a long week at work
    -Do what I want, where I want and when I want.

    and so on :laugh:

    I'm going to buy a duvet cover with lace. AND buy a Super warm duvet.

    AND... I won't ever wake up in the middle of the night with only one corner of the duvet.

    It's going to be mine. ALL mine.

    Being able to satisfy oneself in bed without having a second person think that is an invitation/requirement to include them. Was that nicely phrased? LOL

    phrasing was fine but i think you should consider this in the future...everyone loves some teamwork, if he (or she if that's your thing) can't finish the job just keep going after he/she is done, problem solved! he gets what he wants, your arm gets a break, it's win-win :laugh:

    Maybe I am not a team player? Or maybe the other member of the team made me prefer the company of myself? If its not pleasurable, don't I have a responsibility to myself to make it so? Doesn't mean I want it this way forever LOL

    I'm loving not having sex with anyone else. I get tired of the whining and the need for constant validation. I especially get tired of hearing about someone else's fantasies.
