missing the "singlehood"

So people married/engaged/in a relationship

say you’re happy and all but sometimessss

do you wish you were single? OR miss being single?

Re: missing the “singlehood”

not even for a day… i dont even remember my single life :eek:

i think it depends on how much of personal space ure spouse gives u.. if they are always around you, great it may work for some ppl.. but some ppl even after marriage want some space.. i get lots of it .. i have my own thing going on, and so does he.. and then we do a whole lot together. working out great.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Haha good question. I have known my hubby for so long that I honestly don't even remember what it feels like to be single anymore.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Never even once.. By the way I am committed... All this depends upon your relationship and the extent you're involved!

Re: missing the "singlehood"

oh all the time i miss those days.

well i dont think it depends on how involved u r. That's why i added "say you're happy and all" I am very committed as well. BUt yes i miss those days when it was all about me and my friends. I guess these are different phases of life that we go through. Just how being with someone is amazing singlehood was amazing as well. And i think just because u miss that wont make u unfaithful or not committed. :)

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Im not married, but I know im gonna miss this amazing freedom and fun when I get married!

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Ppl miss singlehood when they hit the Parenthood.

Pre-parenthood, life with a spouse only is a piece of delicious cake.

I agree. I wish this fun to continue ... ... ...

well sometimes i do remember the care free less problem time when it was just about doing well in school and hanging out with my friends. yes i miss those days. that was so much less complicated and fun than all this in law stuff going on.

Don't miss singledom days bcos i get a whole lot more freedom since i got married, however, everyone needs their single time away from partner every so often, so we both have our escape time, meeting up with our friends minus partner. Then it feels like old times!

Re: missing the "singlehood"

If your 'single' life was boring, then you wont have any problems with the lack of freedom in married life either.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

I love my life, my boys and my hubby - no question about it. But now that the boyz are out of diapers and are more "portable" I DO enjoy life so much more, as in the days when I was single, carefree and making a good living in NYC. I DO miss my pretty little studio apartment, it was right in restaurant row, I was an "uptown gal" and was able to just grab my purse and go. And now that boyz are out of diapers and all independent, I can do this again. Just tell them to get in the car and that is really a nice thing. The baby years are very cute and fun but also very very demanding on the mom, to a degree that most of the rest of us cannot realize.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

1)do i miss the freedom? no..because I can pretty much do anything I want to do now anyways.
2)do i miss the care free life? nope, because it was not care free, it had other worries, school, money, etc
3)do i miss not bing responsible for anyone but myself? yes,
4) do I love the reasons of my responsibilities that #3 is a non factor
5) do I miss not having the free time I used to have? yeah, but I am comparing single uni life to married professional life, when I was single and working, I was still working hard enough that most evenings I really just wanted to chill.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

being single is a great blessing, but when you are on this side of the fense, you do wish that you had a very kind and considerate partner who understood you. it is human nature for both genders.

being married, must be a lot of responsibility. but it is said to have definite benefits in personal well being and a sense of companionship that enables one to over come all hardship as well as feel really cared for, by that one person whom you take on for life.

if both are sincere, then nothing will weaken the relationship. & therefore, hopefully, no need or wish to be single again, will arise.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Not for a day. I cant go back to sleeping alone.. its so much better when there is a nice hot bed waiting for you after a long hard day at work and looking after bubz..

I do a lot more now than I used to be single.. well a lot more as in I do a lot of other things. I love the responsibility.. i love being appreciated by my hubby... and i love being a mama... (but yes, thats a very hard job.. still i love it.. )

Plus, i get to do "my time" stuff now and then.. so i really really like that.. and really really love my hubby for it..

Re: missing the "singlehood"

Its only few days my wife and kid are away and I am really really struggling living on my own. Not that I am missing cooked food or other things my wife use to care off, its just the feeling and realization that they are not around for a month. Yes month but it looks like a long long time.

Before getting married I was doing ok as being single, but now even though demands or challenges of married life on hand.. I just cant live a moment without me wife n munna.

I just can't understand how girlz manage to spend months and months in their mayka and what happen to poor husband.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

at times yes bt then i look bak at those times and think i wasnt that happy at all always wnted to be with hubby so now i have it .. same old ungratefull human tale

Re: missing the "singlehood"

I think some of this is deoendant on your terms with the spouse. All I know is when I am travellign and gone to some fun places, soI go and party with colleagues and all, but then when I goi out exploring the place, I always think that it would have been so much more fun had she been with me.

Re: missing the "singlehood"

I think now I've seen this side, I'd be too lonely without my husband. If I ever travel alone or are somewhere without him, it just doesn't feel right.
