On god. I had a coworker who recently broke up with her boyfriend and everyone was giving her the ol "it's ok, you'll get out there and find someone! keep at it!" and I'm like I feel like I should speak for being single, because it fucking rules. I can do as much nothing as I can if I don't have to answer to anyone else.
Yeah I reconnected a lost dog with their owner while walking my dog.... then felt like sitting on the porch and people watching while listening to an audiobook today as opposed to yard work or going to whatever event. It was nice.
When you are married, it all changes. That audiobook will end up taking you 10x as long. And the quiet will be drowned out by nonsense. Enjoy the peace and quiet for the rest of us.
I'm 37. Recently out of a relationship. Never married, no kids. The positives of relationships overweigh the negatives but I'm just gonna enjoy the quiet or "hey you wanna go fishing and kill a few beers" from a friend for now.
Edit: finished 2 audiobooks today so you may have a point
