is;

Having to make every decision, because there is no one else who knows all the circumstances to make it with you. Everything from what to buy for tea to the life-changing ones.....

having a moan lol, I used to be indecisive now I'm not so sure......

Oh to be single, joy of joy

not having to consider someone else, making all decisions, being able to do what I want when I want.

Sounds like heaven but I bet it's just a case of the grass is always greener on the other side

funny that's the thing I miss about not being single, then I made up my mind and stuck to it now if OH disagrees with me I have to think again and heaven forbid compromise.

But I do know what you mean there are times that I thank my OH for making a decision I couldn't.

Awww Stephen what a nice thing to say :))

It's not that I CAN'T make decisions, but just that I seem to very tired of having to for so long, as you say Kitty when you only have yourself to blame for making the wrong ones, it's doubly hard lol.

Being single means not clearing up someone elses mess.

No arguing what to watch on TV

putting something in a particular place and it not moving

Hi Rose,

Now you know you like being single....lol

I think its the best, no nagging, no arguing, no having to put up with the other half getting into a mood over something trivial, and no deceit either.

You can more or less do as you please when you want, decorate to ones own taste,
go on holiday to where you want, when you want,
cant beat it.
Stay single Rose, you know it makes sense.

I like being single too!
Had two daughter here - well they were young - since then they've occasionally come back. Now both are settled down with partners. Bliss!
My mess
My dirty dishes
Have what I want for dinner - if I don't want to cook, I don't have to cajole someone else into doing it - i just don't cook - beans on toast is sometimes enough
Only have to iron my clothes
Two bedrooms to turn into storage/junk rooms
Less shopping to lug back from the supermarket.
My decisions are mine - if they are wrong - so be it - they only affect me, and I only have myself to answer to!!!

I could go on........
