What I miss most about being single
WAKING up next to your significant other morning after morning, easy access to intimacy, and having a partner to enjoy life events with are just a few perks of being in a relationship. But sometimes, even though we are grateful for our partners, there are things we miss about flying solo.
Here are a few of the things All Woman readers say they miss most about being single.
VD:
I hate to cook; in fact the kitchen is the worst place to be in the house. And being with my boyfriend who believes that a man should always get a proper home-cooked meal unless we’re dining out can be frustrating. I am a fast food junkie and when I was alone I was able to have as much as I wanted without having to use anything but the microwave.
KD:
Being married means less time for my friends, less time vacationing with them, and little or no sleepovers. Sometimes I wish we could spend some more time together, but then my husband will give the lecture about who takes precedence in my life.
HH:
Sometimes I just want to stay in my pjs all day, wear messy hair and forget about shaving my legs. But if he sees this he will begin to think that I am slacking off.
LB:
She wants to watch
Lifetime and I just want to watch all the sporting games all season long. We both only get weekends off and I can’t say that I like making compromises. Even if we try to use our laptops the sounds are often competing so we still end up miserable. I miss watching football, basketball, tennis or cricket all weekend.
PH:
Alone time. I really, really miss my alone time. The tranquillity of it all, the ability to think undisturbed without the presence of another person interrupting even if they are not speaking is what I certainly miss about being single.
AL:
I hate feeling as though I am not totally in control of my affairs – the aesthetics of the house, the finances, the food being cooked, everything. I just like feeling in control without anyone at all meddling. I wish I never had to lose that.
