Being able to go where I want to and when without having to worry about what someone else thinks. If I want to stop off somewhere I can without explaining why.bigsmile

taking up the entire queen sized bed.
watching chic-flicks or sappy romance movies versus sports & wrestling.
you can look like total lleh, be sick, wear ugly clothes in your own home without having someone to look good for.
having your OWN laundry to do, not his!!!
sole decision making when it comes to the house.
sole decision making when it comes to the car.
don't have to check with someone before you go places or do things.
don't have to explain to someone why shopping & coffee with a girlfriend is just "shopping and coffee"... not scouting for a new man.
zero relationship problems when you are single; there is no relationship to *have* problems!
no need to explain why you "just have to!" remodel the bathroom for the second time this month.

Flexibility to change my plans or to do something spontaneously

popcorn for dinner

I can replay the same song over and over if I want

Never fall in the toilet bowl

Financial decisions are easy

Sing in the shower - BADLY but with great passion! laugh

No explanations about why I need another pair of shoes or boots or sandals or flip flops

I can come and go as I please, don't need to call if I am staying out late; don't have to share my queen size bed, can take a trip without having to discuss it, not having to clean up after someone, not having to cook for someone, don't have to compromise, don't have to go to events I hate just to please someone, don't have to pretend I need a man to do things for me, don't have to worry about jealousy, or disagreements, and can always have some quiet time.

$$$ in my pocket...

What can I say, I'm a giver, to the point of being broke when I'm with a woman...

I do what I want even when I am in a relationship and so can he within the guidelines we set together of course.

But I don't miss fighting for the covers or the elbow in the back.
Or snoring.
I don't miss the indecision on what to eat, I am really not picky and I like for him to choose what to eat most of the time. Strange I know.
I don't miss missing my programs on the TV. I usually just let him run the remote but I will have a few programs that I like to watch now and then. Most men will not ask if there is something you wanted to watch. Sadly.

What I do miss the most though is morning sex and the laughter and companionship.

The best part about being single? Being able to take time to explore possibilities. Also, not having to answer to anyone about what you choose to do with your personal time.

The best benefit of being alone?

Getting to know your ... self.

Not being forced to lie.

"Do you love me when I nag you and call you names?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"D'you think my azz looks big in this dress?"

"Is God more important for you than I?"

"If there was a fire... whom would you carry out of the house first, me, or the cat?"

"You mean this is the newest "Hollywood" diet? To swallow it?"

I'm miles ahead of you. I'm already broke, and I haven't been with a woman for twelve years.

I am thinking you need to give to yourself first and put others second. Bottom line is if you don't take care of yourself; no one else will or will care.

I used to have that problem... what you do is somehow snuggle your way under your boyfriend, and try to keep warm that way.

I saved two of my legs from amputation from freezing that way on our honeymoon.

The third one unfortunately could not be saved.

And that was only on our second leg of the trip.

Learning to be alone, is the first and most difficult step for anyone to make. It isn't easy, but in the long run you'll be happier that you did and in a much more present state of mind.
