The Joys of Being Single.

Asked Mar 30, 2009, 06:03 AM — 175 Answers
Alright, let's face it. There are several threads on here about how to get over someone and the heartbreak you feel in the process. It seems that being single is not an ideal situation for anyone, and most, especially after a break up, are extremely afraid of the possibility of this. I would like to start a top ten list I have made of why it is AWESOME to be single, and why you should enjoy this while you can!

1. No complaining...my toilet seat is up at all times!

2. Watching sports. Believe it or not, I don't have to sit there an answer questions about what a freaking first down is!

3. No more expensive, and most often bad dinners.

4. If the 'Notebook 2' comes out, guess who doesn't have to see it? (ME)

5. No more waiting around while my ex sleeps until 12 or 1pm in the afternoon.

6. 'Sex and the City' is no longer my show of choice.

7. I can actually talk to any hot chick I want without feeling as if I am a pig.

8. I do not have to visit her side of the family, which treats me as if I am the devil.

9. No more expensive gifts for b-days, holidays and the such. Valentines day is OUT!

10. No more watching the worthless kU Jayhawks play!

I know it is not a question, but seriously, time to enjoy life for some of you guys and gals. What have you come to enjoy about being single? I know you can think of at least one thing you love now! Let it rip...

Hey!

Starby, run, run, run! You're in big trouble young lady. I'm beginning to think NM had the right idea locking you up!

Yup, I'm on NM's team now. No more help from the bunny.

Love this thread KC what a great idea.

Of course I'm dating, but I'm still single-ish (seeing as I am a relationship and I can do what ever I like,)

Lol I wanted to make a list as well. (lol loved the idea and it did really got me thinking )
___________
No mothers to impress, (this always stresses me out, parents.)

No dinners I HAVE to attend with the in-laws

No complaining about my eating habits, or the fact that I don't work out.

No complaining about the movies and Tv shows I like. (Seriously, its so annoying when someone's says; oh I hate that show because its so not artsy, or that is so made up, that is so unrealistic, that's boaring.. Blah blah, I'm watching it... )

I can throw my stuff around, and leave the dirty laundry where ever I please.

I can choose NOT to put the clean laundry in my closet (lol, yes I am as big of a slob as you might imagine picking up after myself is not a skill I've mastered. )

No one complains or raise their eye-brows when I decide to spend money on DVDs and Cds or that new pair of SHOES I just HAD TO HAVE, instead of a food.

I can watch as many episodes of a TV show as I please in arow with out someone telling me that their board stiff with it. (Yes, I'm a TV show buff and have almost a 100 Tv show seasons on DVD, LOl and I love telling people about it and am quite proud of my 'accomplishment' )

No complaining about my friends/jealousy of friends.

No negotiations about where to go for the holiday season or how much money to spend on gifts. Or where and how to spend the weekend.

I can go out where ever, with whom ever, and when ever.

No one to tell me that; if you want to buy new clothes, you have to throw out some of the old clothes.

And yes, I think I manage to include both x's in this Single life is good!

I really miss being able to sit around all day in pj's and watch the Law & Order marathons, my partner hates that show and I try so hard to make him like it, I mean what is not to like?

I really hate the weekends I feel like lounging around all day and the partner asking... "Aren't you going to do anything today?" Ugh.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.
