I can turn the music up as loud as I want to.

No one complains when I cook.

I don't have to grit my teeth & say yes dear....

I don't have to worry about what kind of mood he'll be in when he gets home.

I have control of the remote.

I don't have to pick up left over food on the couch in the morning.

I could go on & on ..... rofl rofl rofl



He complained about your cooking? But your profile says divorced not widowed. Must be a mistake. laugh


I wish ! laugh

No particular anything I prefer about being single.
If being in a relationship would mean having to compromise on issues that are important to me, it isn't the right relationship.

The only advantage I can think of is that when on my own I can leave my paint & canvas on the dining table for as long as I like, or my tarot card & readings. When you're together you dine at the table, so then it needs to be cleared. But then you have the joy of dining together :)

One other thing I've been thinking about is this: if you'd move in together having to fit both your stuff into one home. That will take compromise. I've got a 3 bedroom house and it's full up, haha.
My ex had the same, so if you move in together, well... you'll both end up having to dump stuff.

Wait! He’s going to bring all his stuff AND expect to sit down to eat? surprised

I may want to rethink this whole thing. slaphead

Seriously Crystal, good points. But you do make the best argument for staying single. laugh

I like having to tell no one where I m going, when I leave my house.
Love managing my own finances with no other input on what to spend.
Love having my whole Bed.

Yes I would be hard to live with any man, in a relationship like married.
I enjoy being single. As long as I date and have men friends to go out with.:heart: I do that often enough.

Everything isn't about hugs, kisses, ect. :smile:

These are just a few ideas:

Creative freedom in life

Being around close people because I want to, not because I have to.

Filling my social time with different friends for different types of emotional engagement and support.

Watching toxic situations propagate from a distant view, hearing the personal experience of people who’s lives are built under the surge zone of it, being able to see with my outsiders perspective how that is not all there is.

Being in tune with the rhythms of community.

. . .

Haha, not an argument for me :) The benefits and wonderful stuff of having a partner totally outweigh these things for me smitten

So, for those with unsolved problems like every one detail
Please go out and have some dates, keep your mind in the most basic of the feelings
Feeling well with your self’s and forgot the past

Haha, good point. Best move into his house, my hallway is so narrow I sometimes even trip over my own clogs. No room for an extra pair tongue2
Now for finding that man...
I was told I would find him by going out of my comfort-zone while doing something I'm passionate about. Now I'm wondering what. Sit in the street with a canvas to paint? Do Tarot readings in the middle of Amsterdam? Run naked through the Kalverstraat? Then get arrested, hmff... But maybe he's a police officer and I'm supposed to meet him that way?
Sigh... why does it have to be so bloody difficult?

Nothing gets thrown out without my say so - bits and pieces, car parts, useful materials;
and similarly with food, nothing gets thrown out until it is sufficiently self aware. Use by dates on sealed tins and packets are to be ignored for months. sick

What have you found you enjoy about being single?

Will it be hard to compromise some of your β€œsingle ways” for a relationship?


I enjoy the overall freedom being single gives us, but it's not hard to compromise when in a loving relationship. What is hard, is finding the right person you want to be in a relationship with, it just takes time to find the right one.
