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?

    I totally agree with you! Really enjoying my time.

    Of course wouldn't mind some cuddle time every now and then

    @Wileyjoe - I was there and not happy. I made the decision to find happiness.

    I also find it amazing how emotionally draining the dating scene can be....especially online dating.

    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.

    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 great

    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.. (:wink: , :wink: )

    It's pretty awesome!!!

    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.

    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.

    Agreed.
    And agreed to OP's post. I really love having my time to myself, and the snuggling leads to trouble and headaches ;)

    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 :)
