What are the advantages of being single and the down side ??? (180)
In response to: Hi boys and girls.I think being in charge of your own life without censorship from your partner sounds appealing to me.You come,you go,you do what you want to do without explanations would be an advantage.
Going to bed every night by yourself,waking up alone,missing the physical aspect,having no one you can cuddle with and having no one you can share good and bad times are the downsides of being single to me.
What is your take ? How do you cope ?
Care sharing how you feel about it ?
I will be in and out and can't attend to the Thread but will check in periodically to find out how other people tick.

I was married to my late husband for 20+yrs and let me tell you being single again is no fun. I was used to having someone to say good night to,good morning to,someone to cuddle & snuggle with,someone who was there for me when I needed a warm shoulder to lean on,someone to share the good times,bad times and all the inbetween times with.He was my best friend and the love of my life.It's like my whole world crumbled up when he passed away.I'd give up everything I own just to have that very same3 experience again.But right now I'm not looking for anyone.
Now that I'm a widow I hate it.I don't know of any other way to describe it.

Advantages:
Don't have to cook unless I want to
Don't feel the urge to keep up appearances 24/7
Have the stereo/Tv, etc. to my liking
Less laundry
Disadvantages:
Sleeping/waking alone
Someone to just *be* with-talk/no talk or come what may
Gosh, I can't really think of much. I think being the special someone to a person and having a special someone is so much more satisfying in so many aspects of life that advantages far outweigh disadvantages. Who cares about small annoyances? Snoring, farting, clothes on the floor....even those things are missed when gone. Sorry Petegozo...no help here!

they both have their good points and bad points. When i am single I want to be a couple and when a couple, I tend to long for being single. What is a guy to do?

loves2steppin: Buzzy...this is true. When you are happy within it must radiate out...don't know but that happened to me. Life was friends, dancing, biking whatever came along. Then I met "him". 16 months went by and it was the grandest time...had so much fun.
Here I am again...trying to find myself and totally empty inside.
I have written him twice asking him to talk things out. It appears there is no time right now-maybe after tax season (he is an accountant), hopes we can date (what a one weekend night fling to relieve "his stress") and be friends. I know I need to move on but honestly dont know how...everything reminds me of him-I even lose concentration at my work. Oh well...life goes on. I wish you and Dru all the best.....Mary

Thanks Mary, You just gave yourself the way to reach that point again. Relax, concentrate on you, and only you. I will tell you the truth about him. It may hurt, but you need to know so you can move on. You already know this, he does not love you. There is no reason why you should not want to be with the person you love, period. I'm franticly trying to find ways to get to her quickier. I thnkyou for your kind wishes, Ralph

I have been divorced for 6 years. I was with my ex since I was 17 and I grew up the youngest of 4 kids. It has taken me a long time to get used to living alone and thinking for only one person. It takes time to learn how to be happy and have a full filled life being alone. Now that I have learned who I really am and how to live alone I am ready to share my life with someone again. I miss having someone to talk to, someone to help make difficult decisions, cuddling in the morning, having someone to share the good bad and indifferent with. There are definatley benefits to being single. Making your own decisions, never taking someone else into condideration, living for the moment, being independent. But there are disadvantages too. Sleeping alone, traveling alone basically doing everything alone. Sometimes it's nice to have a partner to share the things you both like to do. That doesn't mean you can't do things alone you just don't have to do everything alone.

Well, I can't keep on top of just MY washing and ironing so not sure if I'd want to take on even more...?
But, yes, miss cuddles and someone to share experiences/adventures...
Taking in a fabulous view together, especially at sunset?
Hi ya Pete!!
Good thread.

DoznEggs: You said it just perfect. Everything happens when it's meant to.
Congratulations Buzzy! I think you and Dru make an absolutely lovely couple. Love will always continue to burn, when the heart is tended to.
As I told Dru last night..... Love is in the air. There's been a few connections of late on here. It's a wonderful thing!
"It's a Wonderful Life!!"

She has her kids now. Can't go online. I'm talking to her on phone right now. Anything you would like to tell her?

The downside is defintely waking up alone.
How about we all gather in a large group go to bed alone within the group and wake up alone together.
Don't take me too serious .
Now, that might work... as long as I get first pick of who I am giving the morning kiss to
