-freedom to being anywhere or do anything: depending on what type of partner do you have. we mostly have similar likes to my partner and this thing is not a problem
-minimal drama: there might be but there's nothing like make-up sex afterwards
-savings: to be honest, I saved more money now compared to being single, bills and etc got split up.
-get to eat whatever i want: I'm married and I can eat whatever and wherever I want and most of the time I don't have to pay coz he's paying.
-less worry: mmm maybe but depends on what kind of worry.
-more girl time: I have pretty much the same amount of time of myself, some of my boring times with myself before got replaced with "boy times", fishing, bbq etc.
more sleep: I slept the same amount of time, the good thing is I can have sex before sleep. lol
-no meeting awkward family member: this thing I really don't care about, I married my husband, not his parents, cousins, weird uncles etc..

Sorry, just my opinion. Peace

Haha this is hilarious! And I agree w/ Denny Way... I have all of this being in a steady relationship of over 4 years. The only thing I miss is the less shaving time!! haha

And if you dont have any or most of this while in a relationship, RUN FAST! VERY FAST AWAY from that person and onto the next!

Ok Im done crashing your thread now Bob, you all may continue with my great entertainment :lol:

Edit: Haha Sarah has some really good ones though!

-less shaving required: Depends on what body parts are we talking. I do shave, well I work in an office and being a lady we should take care of ourselves single or not. Down there...my partner says, if it's always shaved, it's like having the same dinner all the time, while on the other hand, there's some mystery behind, classic 80's, if you know what I mean.

Before, I watched the foo fighters concert ALONE because non of my friends are available, one of the saddest moments in my life.

- the ability to gain independence / love for oneself
- casual sex (IE freedom to leave afterward)
- no one to disappoint


My dad and I had long talks about this while hiking yesterday: It's amazing how many people think they've found themselves after they found someone else. News flash! All you did was find someone else, not yourself. Identity is about you, not your relationship. And identity is everything.

I think people are taking this thread the wrong way. The point it it's okay to be single. Too many people seriously can't be without a significant other. There are positives to being in and out of a relationship. :)

For those in relationships, I think be whole independence thing people are also taking the wrong way. Just because you have a partner that isn't controlling does not mean you make 100% of your decisions independently. Especially if you are in a serious relationship. It's natural to say I'm going to go out with the girls so they can plan accordingly for dinner/entertainment. I'm pretty sure no one just doesn't go home. I have no one to go home to so I literally do what I want when I want with no consideration to others. If I had a live in boyfriend I would expect to know that he's going to get drinks after work with co-workers so I don't make too much dinner or so that I can plan for myself. Doesn't mean he is expected to ask permission.

Hope that helps with what I see as the context of this thread. :)

If that is what I really wanted to do, then I'm sure he would stick by my side. We may be "together" but there are aspects of our lives that are separate. I have supported him in the decisions and choice he has made. I am sure he would do the same for me, as long as I was happy.

i agree that people are taking this thread out of context. not to sound mean - but us single peeps dont go into the S.O. thread and talk about how awesome single life is, so why come to our thread and talk about how awesome relationships are
just sayin

bigbobchamp
06-29-2011, 07:17 PM
There are some relationships where you can have most of those things. Based on my time in various relationships, time spent with adults in both successful and failed relationships, and most importantly, my time with some folks that study this for a living (one of 'em a Harvard PHD / apprentice of Dr Lawrence Kohlberg), they're really, really rare. I'd say less than 10% of relationships actually consist of an interdependent partnership. Of course, I'm sure at least 80% of people in relationships think that they're in that 10%. I find that most men and male friends of mine in relationships (some of some seriously high prestige) settle on having a highly dependent significant other (even my own father).

Based on the incredibly low odds of two highly independent adults actually becoming a pair, I say single ain't so bad. Plus there's no way I nor anyone I know could ever go after the career goals I'm chasing right now without being single.

I was out to dinner with a couple guys the other night that you could say are big important people in motorsports, and at some point it occurred to the three of us that over a few month time span we were all leaving our significant others because of dependency issues.


Continuing on....
- I can work long hours to achieve my goals with no guilt
- I can't get in trouble when I'm out to play
- being single is just damn fun sometimes

Don't know whats going on as far as the folks with relationship bonds going in this thread but really, I get so tired of having people in relationships (that aren't all peaches and cherries like they post on FB or online) lecturing me about settling down. The key word in settling down is settle. I've done that. I married the wrong one. Lesson learned and now I'm divorced. Now I'm free to explore both the world and my place in it and make a choice of the right one versus the right one for now.

I was out to dinner with a couple guys the other night that you could say are big important people in motorsports, and at some point it occurred to the three of us that over a few month time span we were all leaving our significant others because of dependency issues.

Just to be clear, I don't know all three of these people and their specific situations. But I'm slightly offended by that comment. I know you enough and I know what your career goals are enough to say there is NO WAY IN HELL I would even THINK of dating you (or someone like you) just based on the fact that you travel so much. And that has nothing to do with me having "dependancy issues."

I've been in relationships with people who lived 1.5 hours away from me and saw them on weekends only and I had a relationship with someone who lived 15 mins. from me. I preferred being able to grab lunch on a whim. I liked being surprised with an iced chai while I was at work. I liked making dinner after work w/o having to drive 1.5 hours to make it. That doesn't make me dependant.

Long term, I want a guy who wants what I want. And that's a nice house, picket fence, cute dog and a huge garage with lots of cars. And I don't want to be alone at home waiting for you to "be ready" for what I want.

Also, I could date a quite attractive, athletic guy with a very yummy accent and he travels less than you (but a lot of time internationally) and I just won't even bother. Is it fine in the now? Yeah, probably, but long term I have no interest in being left alone at home raising a family by myself.

I actually broke up with two guys because of dependency issues. They both were needy, whiny and wanted me to coddle them like their mothers did. If I wanted to raise a kid, I'd have one. I haven't so they had to go. Dependency Issues really are a way of saying, "you're just not right for me." They weren't. They were great guys, we just didn't have enough of a bond to make it work.

My speaking of dependence, independence, and interdependence have nothing to do with travel. But if you must know, in my personal situation, my increased travel was a result of the dependency issues, not the cause. I'd rather leave someone to sort themselves out rather than be the sponge in their identity crisis. The two guys I was with travel probably 15 weekends a year.

If a person doesn't know who they are than it doesn't really matter where their significant other is. The point is to bring something to the table, to add to the team, not need the team in order to exist as an individual in the first place.

Thank you for clarifying that. Your first post seemed like said busy/motorsports/traveling men you mentioned had dependency issues b/c of their profession/hobby/traveling.

And I agree with needing to know who you are.

Forgot one of the most important reasons why I like being single:

- time to improve myself so that I have more to offer to the person I will eventually wind up with who will also likely be way more awesome than anyone I can get now. If you're gonna try to find someone to be with forever, patience and focus won't let you down.

- ability to try new things that are of interest. so important, and without being able to try you may miss out on something you love

in my last relationship my guy was really conservative with money, and while i am also - i still know that life is about experience and you are going to have to spend money to experience things...
so in the last 6 mos i have tried snow boarding and totally love it, i traveled to miami for the first time and will go at least once a year now. These are just a couple things i would never have been able to experience before and i am soooo glad i have :)

You have no choice but to learn to grow up without using someone else as a crutch for your personal issues.

I believe that though I may not be single (or haven't been TECHNICALLY single in a long time) I can relate to most of your points listed and they are true. Nothing really screams out that you are in a BAD relationship than when you dream of FREEDOM! Not having to answer to the beck and call, the crying or the accusations because you stayed late at work to finish a project (but he knows you're screwing someone else!), the destruction of self loathing and insecurity or the stress of having a spouse who doesn't know who they are and depends on you for their entire happiness. only YOU are responsible for YOUR OWN HAPPINESS! You cannot put it on another person. It's not fair to them, and certainly in no way shape or form is it remotely healthy!

I was in a long relationship (marriage) but deep down I was truly single and alone being with someone who didn't know me, had no interest in knowing me, or interest in anything I did except to make accusations.

I currently am in another relationship, just over a year but we both understand how busy one another is. I make plans and include him, invite him, but know his schedule is opposite of mine and we have our own friends as well as mutual. I do my thing, he does his, we plan things together as we can but all in all, this is the closest to an independent relationship I've ever had. All my others have been extremely co-dependent and unhealthy!

So if you are in a relationship and you read the above and WISH/HOPE you could be there now, it is time to GET OUT!

And on your last note, despite my ex-gf being somewhat of a fashionista, I do feel like she still held me back on what I wanted to wear. After we split I bought myself some hipster jeans and a bunch of other fun stuff that I felt she would have criticized.

I have sleep issues and am an infamously light sleeper so I do not mind sleeping by myself. To date, I've only found one man I can sleep in the same bed with and be totally at ease and we are not together.

Hrm, not a plus for being single to me. I could share a twin size with someone and be totally content.

But to continue the fun, add to the list of reasons why being single is awesome:
sharing a twin size with people

I like being single because you don't:
--Get the stinkeye from your guy when you tell him he has a better chance of getting in your pants than in your driver's seat.

--Get crap from your bf/gf when you get looks because of the car you drive.

Most of our cars are dick-magnets... It happens! Hahah.

Must be a Texas thing ( I used to live there lol) because out here in VA, guys love the subies but they seem scared crapless of a woman with one. I refer to Subies as fun cars for married people. They're practical AND fun. I say this because every single last guy i meet with one is married, engaged or whipped so much he might as well be one or the other. I was in a relationship when I got mine and happily out now.

I have had 5 Subarus in the last 8 years, 3 at once for a while, and was single for almost half of that time. They are fun cars for single people too :)

I like being single because it's hilarious to see some of the guys my friends try to hook me up with. I got a text overnight from a guy friend I haven't talked to in a bit(saw it this morning). It read:

"Do you still live here? Do you have any interest in taking a boy off my hands?"

THEN:

[pic of said boy]

THEN:

[pic of said boy's car]


I sent him a message this morning and told him that I loved that he knew me well enough that along with any male inquiries must be information or pictures of their cars. Super lol.

I guess it's not only in VA... Guys act the same in NH: Scared crapless of a woman in a subie.

Countless times when I was single, guys were scared to death of me... and the fact that I'm a "tell it how it is" kinda of person... :lol: Ahhhhh oh I love sarcasm.

Toss the underwear... hell... toss all the clothes. I'm single and I love the freedom (looking for a lady though) yet one day I had a second thought. I was walking around my house naked waiting for the clothes to dry in the dryer. I had orange juice and some toast in my hand. The mail lady (Whom is gorgeous) sees me standing next to my leather coat and I saw her. In shock I froze... she froze.. both looking at each other in the most strange moment in my entire life. I waived to her and that broke the awkwardness.

So here is a toast to freedom!

Being single means when hot azz Navy SeALs are running in front of me at the park, I can check out every visible inch of their backside without someone whining or being jealous next to me.

I can do the same at the store.

Or at the beach.

or at car meets or wherever else hot manbutt is to be seen.
