Go!….

it’s a lot cheaper.

they didn’t outweigh the disadvantages for me…

Going out is suddenly fun again.

No more stupid arguments.

You can eat exactly what you want, ride when you want, sleep on whatever side of the bed you want…

Does get a bit boring after a while but good in the meantime!!

muddy bike left in the kitchen whilst you drink beer in the living room at dinner time whilst watching us beat city at the weekend CHECK

The rest of the day you can just waste away as you see fit then repeat

iirc [ unless you were married] there is less sex though

try going to Florence with your ex of a week (hangs head in shame) to cook your head !!

No more DangerWanks.

😉

Do the washing up when you want
Porn obviously
Watch what you want
Being spontaneous
Doing what you want when you want with who you want

Enjoy it, i do

do what YOU want, when YOU want to do it
tidy up, or not, when YOU want
<edit> beaten to it!</edit>

go out with the lads & not be afraid to crash on someone’s couch instead of going home before you turn into a pumpkin

fettle the bike inside the house

what is this “sex” of which you speak?
etc

Spending all the time you want on STW.
Having ‘naked day’ everday of the week.
Going biking whenever you want.
Sleeping on both sides of the bed.
No more danger winks. Unless you count looking into next doors window (XXX danger wink)
Loads of dating.
An end to housework.
I’ve got literally hundereds of ways of justifying my miserable existance…

your wrists will be stronger

Porn obviously
Watch what you want
Being spontaneous
Doing what you want when you want with who you want

Aren’t they all the same thing…?

Having a house to myself after having shared for far too many years.

I can play my music whenever I want.

I can have bike/s in lounge, wheels and tyres in kitchen, chain in sink, 5:10’s by lounge radiator.

Maps strewn on the floor and nobody to trample over them.

No putting up with badly aimed splashes in the loo.

Cooking when and what I want.

Eating sweets in bed.

Nakedness. 😉

Edit: if you are considering becoming single, then be absolutely sure that your relationship is beyond repair.

😆

Not considering it CG. The decision has been made for me. I’m looking for the upside. Which doesn’t seem apparent right now. Hey ho.
Porn and w*nking seem to figure highly on the advantages advice. It’ll be like being 15 again. I suspect that may not be a good thing.

I think I need to MTFU

cinnamon girl – you sound pretty much perfect (assuming you are female obviously)

The best thing about being single was going out on a Friday night and wondering who I would go home with. 99 times out of a hundred it was myself.

Binners, no need to MTFU, just rely on your mates, you’ll get to know who the true ones are, email in profile if you want an independant shoulder to moan/cry whatever on. been there and done it myself, deffo light on the other side of the break up tunnel

1 word:

periods

Mister P – 99 Fridays on your own is a LOT of Fridays!!!

[edit] – ph wait – it’s only two years. I’ll take that back. it’s not so long! 😳

Oh, that doesn’t sound good binners. 🙁

Small steps and, for me, the most important thing I learned was to like myself. Particularly when everyone around me (ie family) didn’t cos I was the one that made a decision to leave. Look upon it as a learning curve, take stock, be reflective, feel comfortable with yourself.

There’s plenty of support on here and feel free to e-mail me. It will be tough but it will get better.

Good luck.

binners – spring is just around the corner, the trails will dry out, united will win the premier league, you may even win an mtb event 😉

Just do all the things you want, ‘cos someone somewhere is just around the corner.
Bunnyhop x

binners knows we all like him. That’ll help him to like himself.

You do know that don’t you binners?

Don’t you?

No?

i like binners 8)

Mister P – no, I am far from perfect! I honestly believe that not everyone is suited to a relationship but I was in a marriage for several decades.

I’ve always been a bit of a loner and, actually, you can feel lonely in a marriage.

As people we are constantly evolving and sometimes people just go in different directions.

welcome to the club. Listen to the music you like, watch what you want, go out when you want, eat what you want.

Being happy at last

Binners – happened to me some 27 months ago after 9yrs together.

Won’t say it was easy, had some dark days and some very disturbing thoughts about self destruction but guess what?
I’m happier now than i thought possible. I have a wonderful partner but live alone (our choice) more bikes, more money and a partner who rides bikes rather than a fat, lazy fiancee only interested in masturbating over david tennant!

I binnersliker.

I like binners.

a fat, lazy fiancee only interested in masturbating over david tennant!

Sometimes I find out wayyyy more than I want to ever know here.

I binnersliker.

I like binners

😆

You get to hug me with out anyone getting jealous.

(Don’t tell mitch, or tazzy)

*wonders where tazzy is?*

If it wasn’t meant to be, it’s better to be able to do what you want, when you want! No point in holding onto something for the sake of it…

Though of course it may not seem all that great for a bit. You get used to it after a while, and funnily enough, usually about the time you’ve become happy with being single, you probably meet someone else again! Well… That’s what happened to me anyway…

nickc – sorry to read your post as I had wondered what had happened to you. Is the Chilterns open yet?

Boots, chaps and cowboy hats. Nothing else matters (as long as hora’s wearing them). He’s probably got wood at the thought of you being in need of relief.

Don’t worry CG, all is (sort off) OK really, came to a natural end, been off line sorting out new place to live, new job etc etc. Haven’t been to the Chilts in ages now (the weekend IT happened) it was frozen then. Less so now I suspect. 🙂

I’ve turned into a body nazi, for fun…

Boots, chaps and cowboy hats

That’s got sexyparty written all over it… Whose turn is it to bring the rubber fist?

as long as hora’s wearing them

oh so i see, cos i’m stuck with teh wohmanz i don’t get to join in the sexy party?!

(sorry, just had to work out a way of getting this lolcat into a thread)

Sometimes I find out wayyyy more than I want to ever know here

I had to put up with his bloody face looking out of calendars, posters, the bloody pc etc.
She was obsessed(probably still is) with him, when he appeared in Hamlet she suddenly found an interest in Shakespeare despite never mentioning the Bard before.

She even started buying the kids-toy-dolls of him as Dr WHO!!!!

did she let you watch though….

sorry IGMC 😀

TSY- he’s probably banned again for spontaneous effing and jeffing!
