What are the things you appreciate/enjoy being single and not in a relationship?
21 comments
Not having to share my bed with some loud snoring man lol I’m a light sleeper.
Less “pressure” about lots of things. I mean, I say this as someone who also isn’t in any close friendships, but when I was in them AND single it was amazing.
I also feel like mf’s in relationships make the best friends for people not in relationships, so its a good balance
Having unlimited personal time/space, peace of mind, cooking for one, being able to go anywhere spontaneously alone,being able to make new friends of both genders w no drama, can make important life decisions easier/dont have to factor in someone else’s feelings, etc
The list goes on….
-Not feeling that sense of needing to get home when I’m out
-Actually decorating my home and decorating it in a way I like without having to compromise
-Walking around topless/braless without having someone touch my tits
-One person to clean up after
-One person to buy toiletries for
-One person to feed and if I don’t feel like having a proper meal wine is dinner
-I can go out whenever, wear whatever, do whatever and no one is there to question a mf thing
I can take up the wholeeeeee bed!! Just me😍
I don’t have to consider other peoples schedules. Also dealing with other people’s families or meshing them with my family. Thinking about it stresses me out lol. Sleeping alone, I’ve been single for so long when I sleep with someone I’m always aware of their presence and I don’t sleep well
I appreciate cleaning on my own time!!! I am home pretty much 24/7 because I WFH and don’t go out often as often as I used to so that means I have like 16 hours a day to clean. I used to do it on my own schedule but half the time I’m rushed now because my significant other wants it done asap whereas I’m like “as long as it’s done I’m happy”
Able to spend my money as I want, without anyone side eyeing 😅
I haven’t been single in a long time but I always find myself yearning for free time. I’m also a mom though, so idk if the lack of free time is entirely my husband’s fault lol
If theres some kind of conflict, it impacts your whole life. Like if you and your partner get into a fight about some dumb bullshit, emptying the dishwasher for instance. Then that argument impacts your work, your life, it becomes your life. Your life is now about some petty crap bullshit, your life is now about the dishwasher.
Being single is nice in the way where some stupid argument doesn’t override my entire life. Its not the forefront of my life. Its not like I have to dread coming home because then when I walk in the house, my partner would then want to talk about said petty crap bullshit. I walk in my house and its peace.
Thats one big thing I look for in a partner, if they take away the peace in my life or add to it. I cannot and would not be able to live with someone like the above.
Although I miss intimacy and physical touch, I realized that the 2 can be mutually exclusive. I want both if I’m going to be emotionally invested.
not having to cook for someone.
It’s my house
I don’t have to live in constant fear of another person snapping one day and taking me to court and fighting me for my house and half my assets. I’ve been told even prenups aren’t foolproof.
I dont know I hate being single.
Got a man and never looked back
Having sex with people from lots of different cultures in lots of different countries is fun.

Free will
Not having to worry about my search history, not that my exes checked it, but if they used my phone for something they’d just see me googling all my life problems, including our relationship ones 🤣 constantly had to delete it. Now I get to leave all my weird thoughts as an odd paper trial lol 😂😆
No sharing. If I buy a particular food that I am really anticipating, it never gets eaten by someone else just because it was in the freezer.
Not being exhausted by constant misunderstandings and disappointments
