lydiamarie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 i just broke up with my boyfriend yesterday ( no fun, but what's the alternative-staying in a s***ty relationship?! no thanks) since those of us thread-starters on this forum are in the same boat, i thought we could start a list of all the great things we can do while single. i'll start. when i'm single... i can have all the covers i want while sleeping (no blanket-thiefs in my bed) watch lifetime without complaint eat meat whenever i want do with my friday nights what i will, without discussion, without complaint go to the beach (alone or with my friends) and join in a game of frisbee or volleyball with yummy men any other ideas? what makes being single great?
HokeyReligions Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 No skidmarked laundry! I have the remote to myself Cleaning the kitchen takes half the time I don't have to explain myself to anyone (that more than makes up for taking the trash out!) If I put something away I know it will be there when I want it again Don't have to lie and say "it was the dog, he's under the bed" I can put the da*n rug on the toilet seat if I want Speaking of toilets -- cleaning the outside no longer requires gloves and a mask and half a bottle of 409 Nobody eats the last piece of cake that I had a taster for all day
asiamarie Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 no dirty close laying all over my floor no more snoring that keeps you up all night no more farts while your asleep in the bed having the TV to myself and watch what i want don't have to explain where i'm going all the time don't have to listen to his friends all hours of the night playing games. having the whole bed to myself no more late night phone calls i can buy what ever i want for myself their is more food in my house don't have to wash alot of laundry no more fights no more good sex no more toothpaste in the sink no more hairs in my bath tub this doesn't cover everything but sometimes you miss those things especially if you live alone for along time. I tell you what i do miss. the laughs the long talks the cuddling the kisses you get before you go to bed and when he leaves for work in the morning making love all night his smile sitting on the couch at night alone and watching a good movie going out to dinner and to a movie his silly ways even the stuff that bothered me at one time i do miss. our silly fights his phone calls everyday I love you sometimes you miss those things .....
UCFKevin Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Lydia, you couldn't eat meat before? Your ex was such a hardcore vegan that he wouldn't let YOU eat it? That's pretty damn lame.
Author lydiamarie Posted June 16, 2004 Author Posted June 16, 2004 GOOD THINGS ONLY!! let's keep it positive because we're not getting them back because WE DON'T WANT THEM BACK. repeat after me: I AM BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM/HER (because being single rocks. now tell me why)
Author lydiamarie Posted June 16, 2004 Author Posted June 16, 2004 hey kevin, why do you think i'm single?!
princess rose Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I like that I can: - Do whatever I want - Be myself, as glorious as I am! - Sleep anyway I want to in my bed - Not have to have drama in my life anymore
sweetadeline Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Hey, great thread! OK, good stuff about being single: I don't have to spend half my life in the car driving to his place (at $2.29 per gallon for gas) b/c his cat allergy meant he could never come to mine I don't have to worry about brushing every cat hair off my clothes before making said drive I don't have to deal with his comments about how I did everything the "wrong" way As Hokey said, I don't have to explain myself to anyone And last but not least, I can find someone who might be better in bed! (Okay, I'm hitting below the belt, but you asked. . . .)
princess rose Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 More good stuff about being single: - I can flirt with whomever I want to whenever I want to - I can dress however I want to
:) Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Have more time to do my nails, hair, make up etc go out with my friends flirt with any guy I want don't have to worry about him cheating on me
Caveman Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Being single sucks. The only advantage is that I can fart whenever I want...but I'd give that up in a heartbeat to be with her again.
NMDante Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Being single: is new to me, since my ex and I broke up just a about a week and half ago (no contact rule in effect). if I remember, was not all it's cracked up to be, unless you're looking for a piece of a$$ and nothing more. is okay, as long as you don't need, want, or care for someone else's affection, other than one night. I might sound cynical, but I'm new at being single right now...maybe it'll get better?
shamen Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I can make plans with whomever I want, to do whatever I want to do, and I don't have to include him.
TZ Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 I don't have to sleep with the cellphone next to me (because he *might* call and God forbid that I miss his call!--bastard!). I can dress sexy and he's not there to ask what I'm up to. I can actually really look at other guys and not feel that he is monitoring me to see how I'm looking at them...and then want to break up because of that! It's unintentional, stupid, for the same reason that you can look at other girls because "she's wearing a nice dress"! Yeah, whatever... I get to be with my dear friends again, male and female. Finally, after 6 months of him kidnapping me all for himself! I don't have to hear "I don't any money to (insert any paying activity here)" whenever I suggest we do something. We're not talking extravagant: movie, cheap dinner out, etc. I don't get to hear the "I am holier than thou" remarks when referring to men/women cheating on their partners. Practice what you preach! I don't have to wait until he puts his kid to bed before I can have him to myself. I don't have to wait until he can find someone to babysit his kid before we can hang out. I don't have to hear "I can't go out because I have to babysit--unless you don't mind taking baby with us". I can feel proud of myself and who I am and what I've accomplished. I get to go to bed early, which is doing wonders for making my undereye circles disappear. I can work late, because I have/want to, and not have to explain why to ANYONE! I can laugh heartily because I know that I'm better off WITHOUT HIM!
