10 REASONS WHY BEING SOLO IS BETTER
THAN A RELATIONSHIP
Immediately after
getting out of a relationship, you may feel like you’re destined for
loneliness. Even worse is the sickening thought of being the only single person
out there surrounded by happy couples.
However, in reality,
being single, independent and free of the many stresses that a relationship can
bring offers several advantages that outweigh relationships. Here are 10
reasons why flying solo is better than being in a relationship.
1. TIME TO BUILD A
BETTER YOU.
With all the “free” time
you have, now is the perfect opportunity to get down to your ideal weight, take
that class you've been putting off, get a second job or start volunteering. The
worse thing someone who is recently single can do is sit at home, feeling bad
for themselves. Get out of the house and start building a better you.
2. DO WHAT YOU WANT,
WHEN YOU WANT.
Just think --- no need
to “check in” with someone to let them know who you’re with, where you’re at
and what time you’re expected to be home. Freedom at last.
3. GIRLS/GUY’S NIGHT OUT
WITHOUT THE GUILT.
For some odd reason,
most girls/guys feel a pang of jealously when their significant other has a
night out with their girls/guys. Single? Grab your girls/guys for a night out
on the town, minus the guilt.
4. PLENTY OF TIME TO
START A NEW HOBBY.
There’s always that one
thing we’ve put off for the mere reason that we don’t have time to cram it into
our busy schedules. With extra time, learn that second language, take that cooking
class or even Pilates like you’ve always wanted to.
5. THE FREEDOM TO DATE
WHOMEVER YOU WANT AND GO ON AS MANY DATES AS POSSIBLE.
Why not consider playing
the field a little? After all, there’s no reason to feel guilt if it’s just a
date. Keep it casual and grab a drink or dinner with that cute new girl/guy you
just met or the person that you’ve been secretly eyeing for a while.
6. NO NEED TO FEEL GUILT
OVER WHAT YOU POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
Unfortunately, the wrong
post, photo or comment can be taken out of context and easily misconstrued when
you’re in a relationship. Ultimately, this is the deterrent in many
relationships.
7. NO NEED TO MONITOR
SOMEONE ELSE’S SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY.
Ever feel like the
social media police when you’re in a relationship, constantly checking to see
if your significant other’s ex is ‘liking’ photo or posts? Unfortunately, most
of us out there feel the need to monitor and ensure this isn’t happening.
8. LESS TIME ON THE
PHONE AND MORE TIME TO “DO YOU”.
Relationships suck up a great
deal of time on the phone between talking and texting, which can easily amount
to several hours of the day. Think about all the time saved by cutting this out
and investing this time in you.
9. NO MORE “FORCED
RELATIONSHIPS”
When you’re in a relationship,
you’re not just in a relationship with the girl/guy, but you’re in it with
their family, friends and even their pets. Chances are there’s someone in their
circle you’re not going to like.
10. MORE MONEY IN YOUR
POCKET.
Being in a relationship
is expensive. Dinners out, mini vacations and gifts all add up to a significant
amount of cash. Save this money towards something that betters you in the long
run.
