I recently ended a long-term relationship. I am fascinated by my new-found freedom! Mostly little things, but there are some benefits!


Tonight's Best Thing: eating grapes in bed at 12:30am reading and no one can say a damn thing!:bigsmile:

    Not feeling obligated to do a goddamn thing. I don't even have to shower today. I will, but I don't have to :D

    I have a list, but only because I've been single all my life! Never had a serious relationship (dates here and there, just nothing long-term).

    Pros:

    Being able to sleep like a starfish in my double bed!
    Not having to tell anyone where I'm going or what I'm doing.
    Can stay up late/get up early without having someone complain.
    Can use up all the hot water in the shower if I want to!
    If I want to live off just Ramen noodles for the week, I can (Not healthy obviously, but can't be arsed to cook).
    Can hog the tv remote as much as I want!
    Can sit in front of tv for long spurts (e.g. tv marathon) and not give a damn.
    I can wizz with the door open!
    Pass wind...and not care! I like not having to hold it in at home. (Yes, us women do pass wind)

    Don't have to justify that new pair of cross trainers even though I have a perfectly good pair already.

    No one to say anything when you decide to watch a cheesy movie just because it's on (Honest! the cats didn't even care when you start being goofy and saying: Rook! Tourouse! Godzirra is coming to destroy the virrage!.... Yes, I was watching an old black and white Godzilla movie the other night when nothing was on, had a great time, just wish I'd had some popcorn!)

    Wake-up in the morning, opening the fridge and seeing that everything is still there.
    Other great benefit: time.

    No worrying about the other person.
    You can flirt with everyone!
    you can plan things without getting approval
    you can check people out and not feel guilty
    you can focus on yourself and how to make you happy

    I ended a 5 year relationship almost 4 months ago and IM SO MUCH HAPPIER. That relationship was very negative and I deserve better. I finally woke up and realized it, and now I'm focusing on myself for the first time. And it's great!!
