I'm single since year 2008 started, and I'm loving it..
being single is like what people mentioned,
you don't have to worry about the other person in your life.
You don't have to go out when you don't feel like.
You don't have to stop caring for other friends that you
treasured just because the other person don't like it.
You don't have to report to anybody except yourself.
You have more time and freedom to do financial planning and less
financial burden or future to worry about.
Having the other party,
Brings you happiness when he/she surprises you with actions.
You have someone always(supposingly) there for you and
depend on each other.
Add on commitments, and responsibilities. eg. for guys/girls
have to secure marriage funds, future funds or Housing
planning.
add on relationship building, eg. parents, siblings of each
other. Meaning increase in cash flow for such events thus require a
more well executed financial plan in order not to be portrayed as a
miser.
Add on Jealousy, anger, denial especially when the time clash
for both. PMS timings, both men and women have PMS. no more late
nights.. have to report whereabouts with
explanations/excuses/lies.
in summary, the sweetness of holding someone's hand is really
one of a kind. but to hold on to it forever takes more than
just a desire to feel love. because love don't last and it'll all
revert to responsibilities and commitments that bond the
relationship together.
