    Ugh I couldn't stand someone who wanted to know constantly what I was up to or dissapproved of me going out- I have a mother for that!

    If I was you I would probably stay single.

    I can't think of anything worse than going out with someone that has absolutley no impact on my life in any other way rather just getting my hole.

    Behave yourself please

    Interesting first post in this forum. Take a week off to consider what you'd like to put in your second. I'm already looking forward to it.

    That's an advantage of not being in a relationship with a gobshíte not an advantage of being single.

    I like the fact that I don't have to hide the fact that I'm actually evil.

    the only difference for me between being single and in a relationship she that i get more sex in a relationship

    other then that nothing else has changed

    Hmm, the only advantage I could think of of not being with my OH is not putting up with my in-laws (they're seriously hard work) and a few of his friends I'm not a big fan of.

    Otherwise I wear pyjamas all day, fart, have my own space if I need it, go where I like and see who I like, not eat dinner if I don't feel like it, go on girly holidays, don't wear make-up or wash my hair if I don't feel like it, watch girly films If I want (with compromise of course!)

    I do, however have to smell his farts and clean the bathroom. I think he's worth it though! He's very good to me :)

    Not waking in the middle of the night roooaaasting.
    It's easier to get to sleep without someone half on top of you.

    Agree with the easier to sleep thing, thank God we have a spare room in the new gaff because I'm going to need it. I find it hard to have a good night's sleep with someone else in the bed.

    Another thing is you don't have to put up with certain friends of theirs that you don't like. I'm very much a person that if I don't like someone I won't put up with them for the sake of it, I only surround myself with people I like so when you're going out with someone and a couple of their friends are idiots (one in particular is a bitch but don't see her often thankfully) it's a pain in the arse having to put up with them for his sake.

    And watching girlie sh1te on TV without seeing rolling of eyes or hearing tutting coming from the other side of the couch.

    Well it's only fair.:rolleyes:

    I do find the girls being unwilling to fart around their SO's amusing though since as soon as you nod off odds are you're tooting away like a trumpet.:D
    Sure if you can each hold it to get to the bathroom fair enough, but no sense being overly obsessed about it IMO.

    At last, someone else who feels the same way, I thought I was just weird!

    Nope you're not alone. And it's not like he snores or moves around much or anything, just the fact that he's even there seems to keep me awake. I'll just have to get used to it I suppose.

    I love my sleep :(

    wow, really, do you think.

    personally, i think it is one of the best relationships i have ever had. i get to be me and i dont have to change and pretend to be someone else.

    i though that was the whole point - obviosuly, got that complete wrong.

    I think you've completely misunderstood the point of this thread. Perhaps Personal Issues might be more useful to you?

    You are seemingly at a very raw stage.. It sucks.. In this forum we are recollecting all the things that were negative annoying and didn't like about being in a relationship. Might help if you thought about these and wrote them down. Good luck!

    I stand corrected! Your post read to me like the only difference your relationship made to you was more sex. Nice though that is, I'm glad to hear theres more.

    Get over it by finding someone who doesn't treat you like crap. And then never settle for being treated like crap again

    :D These are the negatives. The positives I don't want to go into right now!!

    Honestly though, if I feel like I'm missing something being single, I need only look across the desk at my colleagues to see I'm not.
