Do you miss being single?

Question

So I've been thinking and It seems that besides possible loneliness it seems like being single is much easier than being in a relationship and I wonder if there's anyone that misses being single and the lack of the weight of having to think about another individual all the time, does this thought cross anyone's mind? It seems like there are very few that experience relationships and prefer singleness over loving and being loved and prefer to put the freedom they have in general over love, i haven't had a long term relationship so I wonder if the thought ever crosses people's minds or are they actually as happy as they make it look? Feel free to be honest without judgement, that's what I'm looking for.

I think being in a dating type relationship forever is a waste of time. Being married. to the right person is about way more than you and your spouse. You are one of the bricks that holds up a functional society. You are doing what your ancestors did for reasons larger than themselves going back eons. You are forming family bonds that go beyond your blood family and do mean something. You never just marry the person, you become part of a larger family. You also become a role model for kids -- assuming you do it right.

When guys go off to fight in a war and protect their homeland it's similar to when people do traditional stuff that helps maintain society.

Men don't have it easy in life. There's always challenges. But that's what makes you stronger. Those who don't have challenges become weaker and softer.

That said... the worst mistake you can make is to waste time on the wrong person. Too many people don't think before they get into relationships... or don't think enough in the early stages. You can't make good decisions with your genitals or hormones. It takes actual thought and self-control. By having long term goals and only doing things that fit into your long term goals you can take more control.

Sometimes, but it only lasts a few seconds, when I realize how good I have it, married to the woman I love.

Oh, the sweet freedom of singleness versus the cozy handcuffs of a relationship! It's natural to wonder about the grass on the other side. Many people relish their independence and the ease of only having to account for one in decision-making. It's not just about avoiding loneliness; it's about embracing your own company, making spontaneous plans, or enjoying a whole pizza without sharing (unless you're into that kind of generosity). On the flip side, there's something undeniably beautiful about sharing your life, your pizza, and your Netflix account with someone who lights up your world. Remember, it's not about being as happy as people "make it look." It's about finding what makes your heart sing, whether in a solo or a duo performance. 😉 Relationships aren't always easy, but for many, the effort is worth the reward. Love comes in many forms, and sometimes, loving yourself and your freedom is just the relationship you need!

Nah I wouldn't ever want to be single again. My husband doesn't make me feel trapped or anything so the freedom thing isn't a issue

No.
With the right person. We conquer the world! Much stronger. Imaging trying to build a house alone… all alone!! Heavy stuff right?
with my honey… we can feel single at times because we are not co-depending. like he goes out alone to do things.. if we are apart too long… we would rather be together.

Oh, brother, I could tell you a long-ass story. I'll shorten it. I've been married for 30+ years. There's not a day that goes by when I don't wish I'd remained single, as I had originally intended.

Damn bro, 23 and miss being single. You down bad. I remember thinking that at 23 too. Its a warning sign because if she is THAT BAD and the sex bomb isn’t enough to keep y’all happy or even the lovey dovey moments then you all just don’t love and appreciate each other well enough to stay together and have kids build a future etc.

The second I felt that way back then I should have left

I do. If I can turn back time, I will stay single a little longer and choose a different partner.

I've seen myself missing being single, somehow, and that happened when I was being with someone while being alone at the same time.  In short, if wrong company, then yes.
