http://www.socyberty.com/Relationships/Why-I-Like-Being-Single.23737 Why I Like Being Single by Joyce Bocek, Apr 30, 2007 Personal journey through a rocky marriage and the freedom of being single. Living alone has its perks. I used to pray for a significant other in my life, and even though it occurs to me that I don't care for the idea of dying alone, the freedom of being single is a priority right now. Sometimes I eat standing at the kitchen counter or over the kitchen sink, the automatic drip catcher. I'm not obligated to cook a real meal, either. I can have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner. I can stay up all night and sleep all day if I choose. I can watch what I want to watch on TV, get a neighbor to change my light bulbs, or other little things I cannot do for myself, clean up the house or let it go, and not be obliged to meet the needs of anyone ? except my cat. I think maybe I'm a bit selfish in my attitude, and that's okay. On the flip side, nobody is obligated to put up with my quirks, moods, or drooling (I hate to admit that I drool at night). I think it's part of growing older ungracefully. I'm not lacking for conversation. I talk to myself and Cleo (the cat). I even answer myself, and then there's writing things down on paper, exposing myself to anybody who wants to read it (with the exception of my journal). I feel good when people read what I've written and they enjoy it! I have been married twice. All references in this story refer to my second husband. He had some expectations and wanted my undivided attention. When he proposed marriage, I told him I wasn't the domestic type. After we were married he seemed to forget that. He said that he thought I would change. He wanted me to cook Sunday dinner like his mama used to do. I said, “Hey, it's my weekend too, and I don't want to spend it in the kitchen.” ................之後写了许多和之前离婚的老公们的悲惨故事................. 啊啊，我也蛮想养猫的，我也会自言自语耶，不过大概一天几次而已XDDD -- ※ 编辑: Cisqua 来自: 118.168.129.143 (06/02 23:37)
