I Am Single

My Sister Is Worse

Written on January 27th, 2013
Well I spent the better portion of this weekend talking my sister thru her fight with her husband. She ha been married for 23 yrs and they are financially struggling and this is odd for them because hey have always managed somehow and life is just kicking their ***** right now.. As she was crying and telling me stories I different fights hey were having or had and fights with their 3 grown *** boys that still live with them and all they all do is sit around smokin for free I might add and I was thinking to myself ..,I just be ame single 6 months ago and right now I'm thanking him for not putting me thru all that crap my sister was goin thru. I'm not saying I forgive him and how he broke up with me but if after 32.yrs and me and my man havnt figured it out after all that time then something would have to change right then...but I didn't wanna give up on 5 yrs I couldn't imagine 32 yrs of walking on eggshells not for anybody so anyhow I just was happy that this time I wasn't the one with the issues and I was thanking a higher power that for the 1st time in 6 months I said I'm glad I was single and I didn't say I missed my ex!!!!!

    I agree...I'd rather be me than in an awful marriage like that. My sis is also married but it's pretty good with a few ups and downs but still sometimes after hearing her I am glad I am single. There's a reason you are where you're at....feel good about that eventhough I too am feeling pain from my last breakup I have to chance to figure it out and move on. Our sister's have decided to stay in their situations because it's been their choice.

    I am glad you are single if it makes you happy.There is so much out there to explore,people,places things to do.I hope you take advantage of your singleness and enjoy it all.

      I so enjoy the fun parts of bein single but I must say that the nights tend to suck, I lay awake wishing for a cuddle buddy an that's not every night but some. Or I lay awake with my thoughts at night cause that's when everything slows dwn and thank goodness I found this site cause I think I was driving my brother nuts forcing him to listen to me lol :)

    Ive been divorced for over 11 years and it really does suck , ive dated but.....you know i just havent had the desire to get married again,
    til recently, i realized i really do miss having a companion. thing is , i DO enjoy being loved, and pampered and the feeling of being IN lOVE, but i also enjoy having the complete say with no other boss.
    Reckon i cant have it both ways ;(

      I don't know you might be able to have it both ways cause in my relationship for example he was able to play video games all night and I've always had a nice house and provides 55 inch screen tvs and all the ps3s and Xbox 360s and every game was paid for before it came out and he could go to movies by himself or with friends every weekend at midnight and all these things I didn't care about cause I am not a clingy person nor do I want someone stalking me when we r together however I've only ever expecte my man to keep a job and when it was time to get dirty lets get down to it lol however the problem that I found was that when u don't have to depend on someone they stop depending on you as well and before long you don't do anything together anymore and u have more and more friends an less and less time to make sure ur getting alone time an it takes it's roll until the ripe snaps and I couldn't expect him to be available only when I was ready and vice versa. It sucks cause I didn't learn these lessons til he decided he wanted someone else. But he also realized not every girl was gonna be ok with him doin nothing but working and playing video games lol lol so anyhow I think there is a girl out there that will def be just the way you need her to be a long as your willing to be everything she needs even if its only 2 things or 20 lol
