Help, I'm feeling an unusual urge to get all romantic and couply (is that a word) with someone, nobody in particular just an urge to merge.

This however will be detrimental to my well being. I just can't.

Please give me all the reasons to stay single thank you!

Drama

As a couple you will have drama of whether you like someone or want to play with someone or how dare you look at the someone.

As a single, you’re the master of your own choice so it makes it easier to keep things in control.

God, I couldn't bear to be coupled up.

No dealing with other people s moods.

No joint expenses.

No in - laws.

No false conversations, no fake couply small talk.

As much flirting with randomers as you like.

No other people's shite all over your house.

No joint calendars.

No mansplaining

When you find the right person, then there's no thinking needed, or major decisions to be made, you'll just let it happen.

Most points mentioned above are not exclusive to singles.

I wouldn’t let reasons decide if I wanted to be single or not, I’d trust how I felt.

If you want to you’ll find a way, if you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

I’m happily single, I’m not looking for anything, but I’m not a no, nay, never sort of person either, you never know what or who is around the next corner.

Once they're both on the same wavelength, being in a " relationship" with the wrong person is hell, & there are many reasons why a person can end up in one of those, & that's why some are staying single because once out they won't ever go back because they know what they came out of .

Great question OP..ok where to begin on this one ..

Advantages of being single..

Go where you like ,when you like .

Do what you like when you like .

These cover a multitude without having to ask permission.( All mentioned here before )

Biggest thing about being single is the loneliness, it's a bummer BUT you can't have jam on both sides .

If you're in a marriage or relationship with the wrong person,as l said it's hell , everything ..& l mean everything .. immediately becomes your problem, you have to go where they wanna go ( you're in a marriage or a relationship remember ) ,all the drama in their life suddenly becomes your issues, they put on weight it's your fault , they have nothing to wear its your fault, what's for them suddenly becomes what's for you ..get the picture ?? None of this happens if you are single but the loneliness is the biggest issue of all as regards being single.

I'm separated, single,can go where l like & do , concerts,sports,cinema,it's great while they're happening but they end too & then loneliness kicks in , for a while then a new day new adventure but like l said when a person has seen & experienced the other side they think " do l really want to go there again ? "..that's why l think they're wary of such a situation cause a lot are running out of time & don't wanna waste anymore of being with the wrong person..

so single V not single.. freedom V Loneliness .. choose wisely.

This.

Someone above said being single eventually brings on feelings of loneliness. OP on balance I would think you should go for it. You can use the early part of the journey tell them your likes dislikes and let them know it’s okay for them to do the same. Don’t be cynical either just let it happen and if it doesn’t come naturally it’s okay to end it so long as you do it early and don’t drift

Good luck ☘"

Hey, I have to say this..... there's absolutely nothing wrong with being single, it's not for everyone but some people really like it!!

Don't get me wrong I'm open to a relationship, not ruling it out completely but I'm also happy being single too, been single 13 years so it would be hard to get into a relationship again...... He would want to be someone really really special for my head to be turned..... I don't want to be controlled, I don't want to be judged on what I did or didn't do in the past..... and just because I've enjoyed/enjoying having a sex life, it doesn't mean I can't be trusted.....

Again I repeat, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING SINGLE, no point in being with somebody for the sake of it to suit other people!!

As someone who spent quite a bit of time being with the wrong person the difference in me personally now I find is immense. As someone said already not having to walk on eggshells or coming home to all picture and no sound and wondering what has gone wrong this time. I honestly can’t see myself ever letting someone in that much ever again in my life but also at the same time you can’t close yourself off completely. As Linden said you never know what is around the corner. It’s finding the right balance for you at the present moment is the important part, having your own freedom to do what you want and when is hard to let go of.

If you enjoy being single and prefer it, that's fair enough but a lot of the given reasons are because you can't do them in a relationship and sorry guys but that's just not true. If you can't be yourself in a relationship it may not be the right one.

Although, the extra space in bed is true of course

"Help, I'm feeling an unusual urge to get all romantic and couply (is that a word) with someone, nobody in particular just an urge to merge.

This however will be detrimental to my well being. I just can't.

Please give me all the reasons to stay single thank you! "

Single is not always the answer to your problems, more looking at the problem and staying away from it. Meaning, if you know deep down that person is self centered and not a good player to the relationship. Stay away from that! Look for person who is always willing to do extra mile stuff, loves to spend time with you. One can do things that self centered person would not do. And do it without asking.

Then you know

There's always gonna be the pros & cons of such a scenario,& that's ok too.

me ? l Will remain single until l find the lady that's on the same wavelength as me, will keep looking of course,here & in the real world, l would prefer to remain single than be with the wrong person but if ..if.. l find a lady that's right in physical & mental attributes for me & l her ...for each other , then she'll own me , it really is that simple, but until then it's the single life for me, not being selfish here , not by any stretch of the imagination, just being practical, for both .

It’s possible that if the couple are incredibly well matched or it’s their second onwards really long term relationship that their values align with some compromises that don’t overwhelm them . They may be good enough communicators to work through challenges . They may have the experience to agree on expectations and red lines at the beginning .

However I think In many scenarios once the honeymoon period is over , you get to a point where one partner or both are giving the other a free pass. Not contributing enough to household chores , being overly critical , not being present enough as a parent/carer, not being validating enough as a partner/lover etc . There comes a critical point where a decision needs to be made , am I going to accept this forever ?

Some don’t , and split up , or go to therapy etc . Some do , because they’re financially dependent , or emotionally dependent , or are trying to protect the kids . I suppose some will stay because they think they love the other person too much to leave , but the cynical me says what they’re describing is dependence/pragmatism not love .

Single is ok , no free passes to someone who is taking you for granted

Single is more than OK, it's not the second best option.

It a valid choice, being happily coupled up is not the ultimate goal, with single being the slightly less attractive alternative.

Some people, myself included, actively want to be single. It's not selfish, narcissistic etc, it's just a valid choice like any other.

There is no pinnacle of relationship statuses, with happily coupled up at the top. Being single is equally as valid, as is polyamoury as is open relationships etc.

Single women live longer than coupled up women, as they are not drained from the extra caring responsibilities. Single men live shorter lives, because they lack the caring of a spouse. So what does that tell us? On average, being coupled up means women drain themselves a little more to provide care for the unit than men do. Single women, over a lifetime, are physically healthier than women burdened with excessive caring duties.

Anyway, to each their own. Plenty of people are single by choice and not by circumstance, and are happily single, not hunting for the next (couple) partner.

If there is someone taking the other person for granted ,who's wrong ?..the person doing it or the person taking it ? You see ,to me anyway , in a relationship or Marriage what can happen very easily is the scenario " what's for me is also for you " & that can be so detrimental, that's why it's so important to get it right,a person who truly knows you will never inflict that sort of situation on you , never make you feel uneasy just because they think they can, they won't bring unnecessary drama to your life , in my opinion that's why it's so important to find the right person for yourself & her,if both find that person then it's bliss for them while they're on this Earth simply because they're made for each other & that's why it's so difficult to find that & until that happens it's way better for a person to stay single,do not get involved with a person that's wrong for you .
