Hey!Quote:
starbuck8 agrees: I don't know! Have you ever spoken to her on the phone? Her voice is rather deep! Haha! ::hiding::
LMAO... funny starby oops did Alty hear that ::running away::
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' :p)
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.
I can drink a beer whenever I darn well feel like it... even on weeknights! No more, "Are you seriously drinking again?" comments...
Justy: had to spread rep... but my sympathies ;) I know that show is great.
Gosh I love just launching around, comfortably dressed, watching some lovely show all day ;) my fave pas time (almost a hobby )
KC: had to spread rep... oh yeah!
It's my problem, not hers! Selfish!
Must be my time of the month ;)
No more... I have the sniffles, and I think I'm dying! Can you wait on me hand and foot for a week mommy?
No more... You didn't tell me we had plans to go out today! I told you I was going golfing with my buddies!
No more... Can you come get me from the golfcourse? Well... the cart girl with the beer wouldn't leave us alone!
No more... Why did you turn the alarm clock off... I'm late for work! (when it had gone off 4 times and tried to wake him... golf hangover!)
Nore more... drinking the milk from the carton, or leaving it with not even enough to color coffee! (now I can drink from the carton... just cause I CAN!)
No more... I didn't hear my cell phone! (when it's attached to him like his best friend)
No more... Ohhh, that text was from my buddy's wife! It was a joke!
No more... I forgot to pick up the things you needed. I have to go check my lotto tickets online!
No more... I have no idea who that girl is!
... to be continued! :D
You don't have to stroke the fragile male ego, and other things.
You can talk to your girlfriends for hours on the phone without getting dirty, exasperated looks.
You can eat garlic or onions without a second thought about breath mints. You can go to bed in flannel and plaid rather than Frederick's and Victoria.
No more arguments about things you can't explain.
The best reason for being single is: Vibrators don't talk back, you can turn them off and on, and they don't stop until they are through serving their purpose.
You don't have to wear a shirt with cleavage ALL of the time!
You don't have to hang around with their buddy's whiny girlfriend... and have to get to know a new one every week!
You don't have to be in charge of buying "the wrong" C'mas, B'day, etc. gifts for his mother, his sister, his kids, his..
You don't have to worry if he has fallen asleep on the picnic table and could freeze his balls off, or fall off and hit his head on the cooler in in a drunken stupor! Lol (oops... actually, that one is a plus!. lol)
No more pretending I like the in-law's.
No more, yeah, I think your family is great. Sure, they're normal. Love 'em...
You think you don't marry the family?? Wrong.
Yeah, for me one of the BEST things is no more redneck in-laws from hell. (You guessed it, the singing fish was a gift from THEM!)
You all are bitter! Ya, I said it! ;)
I have to say, I'm still in love with hubby, even after being together for 19 years. He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he holds me when I'm sad and gives me a kick in the arse when I need it. Also, he know who wears the pants in the family, and it's not him! ;)
I'm going to burn in hell now, aren't I?
What can I say, I'm a toughy, not many men can handle me, but, if you get past the tough exterior, then heck, I'm tons of fun! :)
I remember being a happy single person, but now I'm happy in a relationship.
I think your list is a reminder that people need to find happiness outside of a relationship.
Most of all, my list is a reminder that you need to take responsibility for your own happiness... it isn't the job of someone else to make you happy, and that's the most important part of learning to cope with a devastating break up (in my opinion... ).
Another Joy: Recently HBO released a new show, "Eastbound and Down." For those of you who think Family Guy is funny, you would LOVE this. Renewed my sense of faith in HBO after the Sopranos left. At any rate, I KNOW my ex would have thrown a hissy fit every time I tried to watch this new show. "Oh My God...I can't believe you like this stuff..." :cool:
No more hearing her...
1) SNORE!. LOL
2) Shake her head after I said something
3) Her saying whatever!
$) Can you buy me this or give me money or do this or do that. I didn't mine doing things for her but looking back she NEVER did anything for me?
Allowed me to find a girl that lets me walk around without my pants on!!
Good question indeed, I just go with the flow but keep my man card neatly tucked in my pocket if I need to pull it out ha ha
You guys wear clothes? Sad. :(
I have kids around, if I didn't wahoo for walking around naked!
I love the shower facts about men. It is soooooooo very true...
Wow... I love this thread. Totally stopped me from msging my ex.
Joy of being single:
; No need to worry who's going to msg/call you or she'll be giving you the "better act up" look.
; No need to check the phone many times when you're out or if you miss a call, it's a "WHO YOU WITH?"
; You can sleep whenever you want without feeling guilty or she'll be like "WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?"
; Don't need to hear her talk about her weight and body image.
; You can drool over models or any hot chick that walks past.
; You don't need to watch your steps or what you're saying. Definitely less worries.
; You can flirt without feeling like you've stabbed someone.
; No more hair strands left in the bathroom.
; No more "I must have my liquid soap to wash my body."
; You won't be compared to her exs by her group of friends.
; You don't need to wake up, feeling like it's another challenge.
; No need to balance your day out.
; No listening to her complaining about people.
; Don't need to keep count of alcohol I've drank. "You better stop. How many is that?"
; You can't talk about pornhub.com without her saying "OMG. Are you serious? *rolls eyes*".
; You can stay out late without "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WHAT DID YOU DO?".
No more having to constantly make sure that she is OK and that the relationship is okay. O and looking at a hot girl or meeting a really cool girl and feeling like you've settled for something less with your current girlfriend.
WOW peruvianblaze you should never be thinking about whether another girl is prettier then your girl! There is always someone prettier or nicer out there but if we thought that way we would always be skipping from girl to girl or man to man. You know what you have but you DON'T know what your going to get. It is all about how you feel on the:rolleyes: inside about the person. If your always thinking about whether you have settled for less then you should not be wasting any one's time.
Of course there is many things I could say about her.
She's there to iron my creased shirts.
And other things
My opinion on this is-- No life without wife. So get marry as soon as possible. With your life partner you are leading a dull life.
You get to own your own wallet, and everything in it, not just carry it around, until she asks for it.
(those were the good old days)
No more telling my friends "I have to see what I'm doing" before committing to hanging out with them.
No more dinner with his family (good and bad - good because his mom is a sucky cooker and is all healthy bad because they were funny)
No more him farting in my car and rolling down the window.
If I want to go somewhere on a whim I can just jump in my car and go.
If I'm hungry and I want to go out to dinner, I can go out with anyone and don't have to feel weird about it.
I also no longer have to pay for his dinner since he was broke most of the time.
I can go out and drink coffee with out him complaining that I taste like coffee.
No more being upset at night because he forgot we made plans and then just never showed up but went to his friends house to hang out instead.
No more watching golf on TV!
I can go to the gym any time I want because I don't have to make plans with him.
I don't have to go over there when he is sick any more and take care of him - I don't have to get sick anymore!!
I don't have to worry that I'll be stuck in DE all my life in suburbia because he never wants to leave here and he hates cities.
No more buying him expensive presents - I can spend the money on me.
I can make vacation plans to places I want to go vs settling for some place that he can afford (sucks to make more $ than your BF).
I actually get stuff done on the weekends vs sleeping in and wasting the day away.
Guys now take me to see baseball games vs me taking him.
If I want to go to baltimore or philly or the beach at 1130PM I can - no more "you're gonna drive where now? its late"
I can now find a guy that actually likes to cuddle at night if I want to.
I can change my plans at the spur of the moment - no problem.
I get invited to be people's dates to wedding when they don't have a date already = FREE FOOD AND DRINKS!
I can go away on trips for work for 10 days with out feelig like I'm abandonning someone.
I can meet hot guys on my trips for work with out feeling like I'm doing something wrong.
