Do you ever wonder if being single again would be better?

It definitely has passed my mind a few times; where I would think if divorce is not an option. I suppose I should ask what keeps you from splitting up?

To follow your heart is difficult, I'm not maried yet, imagin her feelings, if i break it up just because.
But tbh, i would love my freedom again, to-do what you want for how long you want and when you want.

Always wonder, how are you suppose to start knowing each other, but the longer this goes on, the more difficult it is to end it.

Makes me think of Alice Deejay - Beter off alone
 
The grass is always greener on the other side, or at least looks that way.

I wonder how being single right now would be different, but I'm fairly confident that it wouldn't come close to being better.

Being single is great especially during the week. Sunday afternoons might get lonely though and dual income would be awesome.
 
yes. it would be. for a few months. then you realise how lonely and pointless your life actually was when you were "single and awesome" - point is - its easier to wish for another life, than it is to fix your current one - but when it happens that you do get that other life - you end up wishing for something different.

your choices led you to where you are, and you may regret them, but you cannot dispute that at the time, that was the decision you made - there was a reason for this and no amount of recollection can remind you of exactly why you did. So respect yourself. Respect your choices. And DO something to build on them, not tear them down and start over again.

Splitting up - suppose some people just cannot live without a 'companion/wife/girlfriend' , I seen it before, girls will never break-up before they actually found someone else first. (well I could be wrong in some instances) :p

As for guys, I think it's easier to call it quits and be single and then contemplate where next.

Being single better ? No .. I don't think so, but it does have it's merits.
 
You are obviously considering splitting with your "life partner" or "wife". If you are scared to do it then you already know a lot of reasons why you should not do it. :whistle:
 
I sometimes feel like I should break up with the current for various reasons, but I love him with all my heart and when I think of my life without him, I just tear up.

Being single might have other benefits, but being with someone that you care a great deal about is a whole different feeling.

Being single is attractive. However you have to ask yourself the following questions:

What is not working for you now in your current situation and why?
How did you arrive at the current feelings you are experiencing?
How do you change your current situation (without ditching the relationship)?
How long have you been in this relationship and what do you want want out of it and what does your current partner want / expect out of it?

Has the current person you are with compliment, challenge and support you in your daily life? Do you do the same for this person?
How would you do without this sort of personal interaction?

After 14 years with my partner, I asked myself all of these questions one day when pondering going single.
I came to the conclusion that I am only half the person I am without my partner. After this long time together what future do you have in terms of dating again? You may end up single and enjoy the freedom and independence for a while but soon depression may set in and regret etc.

If it is a shorter relationship with no real future then move on and only get back into one when you know what you want out of your life, who you are (think evolution from where you started to where you are now) and what is right for you.

I hope the ramblings of this crazy man makes sense...whatever you do know that there are consequences. Never live with regret.
 
I'm in a 5 year relationship and I think about it all the time. My reasons sound stupid to people and even to me but they are enough to make me seriously consider doing it.

I am not compatible with my girlfriend's personality. She has a meanness to her that I do not like at all. She says things that hurt people. I have to repeat myself to her over and over.

Then on the other hand, she wakes me up every morning with coffee, makes food for me 3 times a day, cleans up after me and offers sex whenever I want it. on top of that, she is a babe. Problem is, I no longer want it from her. My friends say I should just leave her as it isn't fair to her as she obviously wants to start a family. I don't - well not with her. So what do you do? I'm a businessman that owns three companies and I travel all over the country constantly so I'm regularly exposed to really hot woman that show obvious interest. It's getting harder to resist.... WHAT DO YOU DO? Being single is scary but do you stay with someone you are not happy with? :wtf:
