well, it was after a long-term relationship (4+ years) and a *really* unhealthy rebound. After being depressed for about 4 or 5 months, I said "fuck girls, I'm just going to have fun" and that helped considerably :).

there is something refreshing, renewing about feeling liberated. but being single does not instantly equate a sense of liberation; it may be a self made prison as well. It's all how we perceive it. It's much harder to free yourself of your cage then to imprison yourself in one.

My first 'serious' relationship is the one that im in now. We broke up for 3 days and I swear I've never felt so lost. Being single can be a wonderful thing. However, trying to pick up the pieces of a life changed completely by the dependence one gets from a partner is soo scarey. I miss how uncomplicated a single happy life could be. But I definately enjoy the endless snuggles, kisses and joy that comes within a 'healthy' relationship. hehe ;D

Being single is great, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Only problem is though it gets a tad boring afterwhile. I've been single since July, haven't wanted a relationship till about now being single has gotten ever so old.

For sure, being single doesn't instantly equate a sense of liberation, and neither does being taken. If you're unhappy with yourself it's likely that you'll be unhappy whether or not you are in a relationship, and such a person would likely do better working on having a postive relationship with themselves before attempting to make it work with another.

...I just wanted to express that being single could be a positive experience, and it's probably one of the best things that I've ever done for myself in a while. I don't remember feeling this consistently content in a long time.

With working full time and being in school full time, I likely don't have time for very much bs. It's a good way to narrow down the assholes and retards, because I just don't have time for it :)

I understand what you're saying, what I posted wasn't directed at you, it was just an epiphany I had. To be honest, the longest and happiest I've ever been has been while I was single and liberated.

I guess what I'm just saying is, treasure it/enjoy it because emotions are always changing. :)
I don't know, I don't mean to preach but I know I was foolish enough to believe it could last forever.

oh yeah I definately didn't take it as being directed at me or anything, but I like taking responses that attract me.. and responding to it :)

I just became single after a long, long relationship. (5+ years.)

i think there is something wrong with me though... we just grew apart and i lost alot of the "romantic/relationship" love i had with my girlfriend. I had time to come to terms with it and now that it's over ... i dont really feel all that bad. i feel bad i hurt her.. but not bad its over.

im actually alot happier.. which is good in some respects.

the problem arises when now she (thinking everything was fine) has to deal with the fact that i just dont love her the way i once did. and wants a second chance. I feel like i owe her that after so long, but im really doubting that our relationship will ever work again or ever be the same.

and to add to the confusion. I find myself wrapped up with another girl. but i cant make any moves because i really dont want to hurt my previous gf any more than i already have. that and im not the only guy in her life.

the single life is good thus far.. but for me its coming with its share of trials and tribulations. im just gonna do what some of you suggest and just be me for a while... it will be refreshing to be a "ME" and not an "US". =)

while its hard, you cant deny the feeling of freedom is great after so long.. single ftw.

^^ Nothing wrong with a rebound, buddy. As long as you realize that's what it is.

My singleness is kind of complicated... I'm still with the boy in our own little way. But I have all the freedoms of a single woman and I'm starting to like it (especially if I still have the guy I love in my life).

I just might get myself into trouble and I love that thats ok!! haha
