I can't list 5 things, because they all come back to the same thing. Being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, without having to answer to anyone.

 

I love being single :love::love::D

5. LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP !!!

 

1) I can focus on my career, which is already looking way better (everything used to be all about him and where his career would take us)

2) I've rekindled many friendships with old friends

3) Been going on shopping sprees, instead of paying for flights to see him

4) I'm starting to regain my independence, instead of relying on him

5) I'm starting to think about whats best for ME and where I want to be in the future. Everything is on MY terms now, not his.

 

wowww...writing that list just made me realize how much I used to sacrifice to be with him and what little he did for me. Definitely took me for granted. I might as well have been a Stepford wife....ew. Never again.

 

Thanks Stevesknees for the brilliant thread! Need more like this :)

I am with somebody right now who doesn't hinder me in any way but one thing I noticed after my ex left was the great feeling of peace and freedom in the house. I no longer had to walk on eggshells and my days off were so peaceful and relaxing. It was just great and after a week without her insanity and drama I was sure I wanted a divorce.

1) I can feel better about me instead of worrying I'm not measuring up

 

2) I can spend the energy I used to spend on keeping us going, on taking care of myself

 

3) I can be a better friend to those who've actually STUCK by me

 

4) I can let go of the resentment and suspicion I used to carry around

 

5) I can stop worrying about whether he's telling me the truth or not, and just breathe

5. LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP !!!

I never understand this one. Surely you use the toilet just as much as she does? Therefore why is the default position of the seat, suited to her? Surely you have just as much right to ask her to leave it up for you!!

 

Anyway...

1) Go skiing next year :)

2) Go camping for more than just 2 nights, and not need to take the kitchen sink

3) Not watch any more Twilight movies.

4) NOT watch any more TWILIGHT movies! Yes that one is so great I had to say it twice!

5) Watch a movie all the way to the end without having to stop halfway and continue the next night... that was soooo annoying to me. Totally ruins it.

1. BUY A CORVETTE!!!!

 

2. Focus on my career.

 

3. Never having to sacrifice my hobbies for sake of her children.

 

4. My money is now MY money. I can spend it how I see fit. Lift kit for my truck, new firearm to add to my collection, or extravagant meals with intelligent and gorgeous women.

 

5. The greatest ability is to never having to sacrifice my feelings for hers. I can be me without any repercussions.

 

My Lord I can go on and on. Great thread.

1. Go on dates with women

2. Study completely and not be interrupted

3. Not have to play mind games or waste effort figuring out gifts

4. Not having to deal with the stress of a long-distance relationship

5. Saving a ton of money and effort, focusing on things that matter.

 

Great thread, this list could go on for at least 10 more. There are times where I miss that intimacy because I was used to it for so long, but there are bigger and better things on the horizon.

1) Afford a brand new car and loads of new clothes etc

2) Stop walking on eggshells when I'm at home because of his negativity

3) Let the flat get as dirty as I want and clean it whenever I'm in the mood

4) Stop the constant, back of my mind worry that he's two-timimg me again

5) Fall asleep on the sofa watching TV, if I want to

 

In every practical way my life is better without him in it.

1. I don't have to be tied down to his child when mine is at her dads.

4. I go out with my friends without having to convince him that I am not a bar slut.

5. I am not constantly wondering if he's lying/cheating.

1. I am not constantly wondering if he's lying or cheating. That's a lot of stress out of my system.

2. Sleep at the time that I want.

3. See the movies that I want without him judge me or saying "we can see the movie you want" and then brag me that we always do what I want.

4. I can stay at my friend's house whenever I want.

5. Move to the US next fall for my Ph.D. without feeling attached to him.

 

But after all I miss him a lot... FML too
