Being in a relationship is brilliant, until it's not. And being FREE and single is the best thing ever, until you pass a loving couple on the street and your romance-lacking life suddenly looks rather more bleak.
Let's take a look at the pros and cons of both single and couple living...
As a single you get to buy whatever you want without considering anyone else's desires or judgments. This means pringles for breakfast if you fancy, and no one to judge you for the questionable amount of time you'll take to make a salad aesthetically pleasing.
But then there's the issue that food isn't sold to feed one lady before it goes bad, it's sold to feed groups of people. Good luck consuming a carton of milk by yourself before it goes off.
When you're single, you have an entire bed to yourself. No one takes the entire duvet, no one will steal your pillow in the middle of the night. The comfort of sleeping alone is not to be underestimated.
But then... Cuddling. Comfy and glorious. Is there anyone safer in this world than the Little Spoon?
Couples spend less time with their friends. Fact.
But are singles significantly better off in that department? Chances are that at least a few of your friends are in relationships themselves, so being single can sometimes just leave you with no one to hang with (unless you third wheel on your friends, which can make for a slightly depressing experience.)
Especially if you or your friends have got kids, having a partner gives you a constant companion as well as someone to share the smiles (and frequent glances of frustration) with.
BUT, when you're single you have the freedom to date whomever you want and go on as many dates as possible.
Except... Isn't that just a synonym for anxiety filled existence? It's WAY better to have someone to go places with.
So which is it? Are you a lone wolf or do you yearn for the sweet relief of companionship?
The truth is that we probably all need a bit of both!
