What do you like best about being single? 24 May 2010 | Posted by davidsos | 24 May 2010 04:05 PM | |
| Someone asked me what I like best about being single.....I answered that it is the lack of conflict that I enjoy. Peace, I guess. I was wondering how you all would answer. Even in our heart broken state of being without someone we care deeply about, I am sure there are things we can enjoy about the single life. | |||

| I think that is an excellent post. I bet many of 'us' have spent too much time in conflict-the absence of conflict bliss! Ya, there are some real bummers about being single, and some good stuff too. But I really like your focus on peace.Thanks. | |||

| I SO love this post!!! THANK YOU!~ Focusing on the GOOD is an awesome spin on it! =) Here's a few things I thought of: 1. I like having the freedom to do what I want, when I want, without having to worry about giving somebody my "itineary" 2. I can have ice cream, popcorn, chips & salsa for dinner WHENVER I feel like it 3. My cats are ALWAYS happy to see me!! 4. If I see a cute guy in traffic, I can flirt with NO guilt |

| my favorite thing about being single is the same I love that I can do what i want, when i want, as many times as i want, I only answer to me and God. Being able to do that has really given me new energy and realizing that I am the only one responsible for my happiness, I have a new outlook on life, live a good life with no regrets. | |||

| What a great thread! Yes, peace and tranquility in my home and life are heaven. Not having to check in, or worry what he is going to do or say is ...ahhh. Beautiful. All I have to worry about is NOTHING!! I love doing whatever I want. It has been seven years since my divorce and I still cherish this. I'm starting to wonder if I could tolerate a man in my life again! LOL! |

| Yes. The lasck of loss of control alsmot as if it were an addiction someone else controleed, the gradual disapperacne of "me", the peace and accpetance although stages of terrible pain, the chance to examine my patterns of choosing men who were destined to jurt me and I chose them on purpose like i was a foru rear old girl, | |||

| I apologixe for terrible spelling I crushed my good glasses the other day, I also teel that until I can grow through my patterns of choosing borderline sociopaths with their charisma, excitement, that extra something, and know this is a man that cannot really feel, I will do the same thing over and over again. The lonelyness is hard, | |||

I also like be able to enjoy when I do something great like finishing school or getting a job. Thanks again for you post, I was a little depressed and you have inlighted me to look at it in a new way. |

| I like that I can come and go as I please. I do not have to answer to anyone. I can spend my money as I please. If I want to go somewhere I dont' have to plan around someone else. I don't have to worry about how the way I live affects someone else. On the flip side- I miss having a companion. Someone to go to the movies or dinner with. Someone else to worry about the bills or housework. | |||

| I like being able to watch what i want before bed and not sports all the time. I like the fact that I will have another first kiss. I like being on my own schedule. I like that I have lost weight because I eat when Im hungry and what I want. It is definitly hard but I remind myself of these perks everyday! | |||

| 1. I don't have to watch any more South Park or Family Guy. 2. His family was rascist against me. I don't have to deal with that anymore. My favorite thing about being single is that I can do what I want whenever I want. When I was in a relationship, I took a lot of time out for him and I stopped doing the things I loved. I am getting back in to art and I love it. |
