Do people in relationships ever miss being single?

[Anonymous]

If so why?

I hope y'all don't but I'll try not to be a judgmental prick if y'all do at times feel that way, I've never been in a healthy relationship so it's a genuine question even tho I know it's stupid lol

Damn I should've made it a poll

I did find myself second guessing whether it was worth the risk, and thinking that it would be better to stay single and die a cat lady, partly because I've never been in a relationship.

I'm also scared because I was treated badly a lot, and then out of nowhere this perfect person has come along.
My friends also almost scared me out of it, saying things about his intentions, etc. but meeting him has probably been one of my best experiences to date. HE'S SO COOL. I do miss not having the fear but soon it'll go. Every time I see him I trust him more and more.

Only at the start when the parents go "Who is this guy?" "Who is he?" "What does he dooooo?" "He seems like a good man" "You found a good man" "Good job, Fay"

I hate that screening and judging. Because mom is the kind of person to always have something to say behind the back.

[Asker]

That does sound kinda annoying not going to lie

[Ms_Facesitter]

She also has that "rich folk" laugh whenever there are visitors, I need to hear that every time we visit

[Asker]

Lmao the Hawhawhawhaw laugh, I've heard it before 😂

[Ms_Facesitter]

YESS THAT ONE.

[Asker]

😂😂😂

Yeah, of course they do. They love their partner, but it isn't just about themselves any more. They now have to be together for as long as they want and then they have to consider each other's boundaries and needs. It isn't just about them.

When single, you don't have to worry about any of that as you just need to focus on you and what you want as opposed to someone else. It is easy to feel like that when your relationship is down or you fight or have a bad day with the person you are with.

I was single for many years. Did not enjoy that life. And getting into current relationship quickly turned into having kids so hard to unwind the two. Whilst there are moments when having the freedom of single life feels like a good thing, overall I wouldn't want to go back to that life

[Asker]

That good bro.

[AviatorTom]

It does happen from time to time... but it's always a short time... and I'm glad I'm in a relationship.

[NathanDavis]

I've never felt myself that way, no...

but the one thing I hear the most about people who say something like this is... "I miss my freedom"

they do tend to feel "tied" to someone or some things

[Asker]

Yea I've heard that one as well, i guess maybe that's partially why I asked this, sounds kinda scary to have your partner say some shit like that 😂

[NathanDavis]

that's definitely one thing I would not to find out about them... after we're already in a relationship

if this a thing with them... I rather know in advance, before we end up in a relationship

[Asker]

Yea that's definitely something that should rub anyone off wrong

[electromagnetic]

We miss days of scratching our asses with rollers in our hair without judgement.

[Asker]

Wdym? 😂

This will have to work since I cannot post a picture 😆

[Asker]

Ey nobody is judging y'all if y'all decide to have rollers on your hair... and scratch your asses 😂

[Joshydavid25]

Someth is wrong with that relationship if that comes up in your mind..

[Joshydavid25]

Something..***

[Asker]

Most definitely agree, I'm just testing how common it is by asking it here lol

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, it's a legit question.. I look forward to seeing if it gets some good answers.. 😈

[Asker]

I sure hope so cause I wasted a question for this, I have screenshots of questions I can ask and this one would be a waste if there's no good answers lol

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, I feel that one.. It's always disappointing when a question is pretty good but gets hardly any answers..

[Asker]

Yea I kinda think I know why that is, everyone knows the feature gets more publicity on the site and I've noticed some mods have favoritism towards certain users and choose their question as a feature even tho it's completely garbage

[Joshydavid25]

Yes! I've noticed that as well.. Some of the most simple ir samey questions get featured..

[Asker]

Yea, it's quite boring if you ask me, I've seen some very good questions

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, it's pretty unfortunate.. There's definitely good questions here and there.. Although I notice some questions on there from over a year ago.. LOL..

[Asker]

Yea this site is just dying out I think, it wasn't like this always, it's been like this for the past year or 2 I think tho so I don't know how the results will turn out but it don't look good

[Joshydavid25]

Oh, yeah I noticed that too.. Back in 2017 and 18 it was popping.. It felt more like a community of weird people coming online.. Now it's mostly just mostly... This.. I still like the site for what it is and hope it finds it's footing again..

[Asker]

Yea but it needs better moderation, without better mods it's just pointless

[Joshydavid25]

You're right about that.. A few of the mods here are not too great..

[Asker]

Nope lol

[MissBoogus]

No because I’ve never really been single tbh. I love being with my boyfriend

[Asker]

Fair enough

[Worst]

If you feel that way then you probably shouldn't be in your relationship

[Asker]

I agree

[IslaTheWitch]

Maybe not as a complete single. But sometimes it would be nice just to be only for myself, without any additional worries :D

But after a short rest, this feeling disappears :D

[Daffy0]

Yeah some times , as a person can make you feel so lonely and rejected , you can give it ur all and still be down.

[wiltingrosepetal]

I haven't, personally

[Asker]

👏👏👏

[Nikki1989]

I never have.

[Asker]

I'm glad to hear that 👍

[jahaims]

If they are in a unhealthy relationship sure
