running around butt naked all over the house


don't have to be single for that to happen



My Ex was a prude and too uptight for that to be OK



Dammit man... do you mean to say she wasn't too spunky about the wild funky monkey?




ROFLMAO

guess I have thought about it a time or two, LOL

:wink: laugh rofl



Yeah....sigh...After my 18 year marriage collapsed, I took it hard and sought counseling. My counseler was very good but she had tangible, unorthodox ways of making a point.During a session, she once asked me to hold a jar of jelly beans during a pause so she could go out of the room. Her instructions were to "hold the jar and keep verbally repeating the word jelly"
I thought she was joking but she wasn't so I followed orders and began saying it like an idiot but who am I to question? So she was gone for like ten minutes but during that time I must have said jelly about ten thousand times. I began to get irritated and told myself I'd never use that word again.
Now... After she came back, still using her hand to orchestrate my little mantra, she let me stop.
I'd had enough. I asked "Ok...what?"
She said what does jelly ryme with? Tired of the game I almost stonewalled but she said " Shelli" it rymes with Shelli...Your wife..."


Ok..I got it...

Her point was that's it's ok and it's good to think it, talk it, walk it, sleep it, and then it's ok to purge it when you're done.

Not having to worry about letting someone down and making them unhappy.


Well...There's still someone to worry about letting down of course and that's you... You don't make anyone unhappy...that's a personal choice they make by themselves.


I know. I keep telling myself that. Still, it's so much easier and more relaxing only having to take care of myself.

I wanted ANYTHING but those dang'd jelly beans. I've refused to eat them since then, in honor of that little life lesson.

Its the little things that help sometimes. I make a lot of pro cons lists. Psychology background. Sometimes they help me decide, but it always easier to come with why you don't want something over why you do want something, LOL. There all sorts of techniques.

All you folks who are posting in the "worst thing about being single" thread, could maybe do with at least trying to think of a good thing or two also...
Just to balance things out, no ?

I come and go as I please. Do what I want, when, where, how and with who I want. Noone leaving a mess behind and me cleaning up after them. No one being a lazy bum while I make the money and do all the stuff around the house. Wow I guess there are some good things about being single after allbigsmile
