Your having the time of your life. you pay your own rent, and there is only one person that that you have to clean up after..
yourself.
Living single is one one of the best things that anyone can have, having the feeling of independence can make a person feel as if they have accomplished something no one thought they could possibly do.
The fact that you may be a single man or woman gives yo u opportunities that you wouldn't have living with someone. The constant worry if your lover locked the door behind him or her before they left, Or the fact that your money is slowly disappearing can be to steady stress that no one should have to go through.
Being single should be a great experienced for those just getting from under there parents wing. The world is new and they deserve to explore it by themselves, not with someone who could possibly hold them back because of there own fears and paranoia.
Not only that, the constant fear of distrust of the other will gnaw you continually, you always have to worry about why he or she is going out more than usually, or why your friends keep staring at you with those worry eyes.
being single is the best thing, no worrying about things that you know you didn't do. no cleaning a mess that you didn't create. and the certain satisfaction of putting your own money in the mailbox when bills come through.
Yes it seems kind of lonely, but think about it. NO ONE telling you what you should where out the house, no one asking you where you are going because of the dreading fear of being cheated on. And the ability to bring anyone in your ve house without asking or explaining yourself to anyone but yourself.
When you are single a male or female, your independence is your independence. What is the purpose of having someone in your home that you barely know. Why have the simple fear of your roommate being of a pimp, a whore, or even a serial killer who kills beautiful people because she had a bad experience when they were young or something. it is to many serial rapist, murderers, ax killers, molesters, kidnappers and identiy thieves out there who could possibly get hold of you and whisper things in your ears that you love to here. to many gold diggers to worry about, those who drain you empty then bring people into your house of peace because they got bored.
It is just to many dangers of being a coupl, to mkuch of the drama that forces you to wonder why you even try working things out with your roommate or lover.
