Being single

And chewing gum

Yes it is.
Truth is all of us have had/ will have our chances.
For various reasons we let them pass us by.
Being in a relationship is hard work, but you get used to it, after a while one is hardly aware of the effort made.
Being single is also hard work, but you get used to it.
After many years of being single, though, it still takes me a lot of effort and organization to remember every single thing that has to be done, from paying the bills to get the milk in.

Have to disagree here. You cannot control other peoples feelings. You can try to influence them, but you cannot control them. This is especially true with something like romantic attraction which even the person feeling the attraction has no control over (attraction is not a choice). It is like when riding a bike you cannot stop someone pulling out into the road in front of you (you can try things to minimize the chance of it happening, but never directly stop it happening).

There are some things in life that affect you that you cannot control. The trick is knowing and dealing with what you can control and not worrying about the things you can't.

I've been on my own for 23 years now, I'm alone, but not lonely, I find things to do by myself cycling, kayaking, fishing and astronomy I can go days without talking to anybody as I retired early (38), but that does not bother me at all most people would call me a loner....maybe I am

I have to say.. most loneliness I felt in my life was in the company of others! Hardly ever (or possibly never, especially as I grow older) when I'm alone..

...oh dont get me wrong...i know what lonliness is all about...it's learning to deal with it and turn it into a positive that's important...

I learnt that we are all alone ultimately.

People who live with other people, share a bar of soap. They wash there body then put the soap back in the soap dish, then the next person uses it to wash there body.
Soap is not self cleaning!

Give the bar a good wash with soap and water.

I dont think I would lose sleep over sharing a bar of soap with a partner I am sure I have shared far more than that in the past

After you with the shotgun

I find living alone can be both good and bad. I like been able to do whatever I want whenever I want and everything I have is all mine and I dont have to worry about anyone else, but I would gladly share it if I found the right person but at 48 that looks increasingly unlikely. I have lived with other people in the past but it always turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Tell you what: find a good woman, and I'll sponsor YOU a bar of soap for the rest of your relationship. I'll even throw in a safe for extra security.

That number looks ideal for more.. intimate nights! I believe they also have it in black, for more kinky likes..

I lived on my own for 10 yrs, I don't mind my own company but I do think that you get stuck in a rut and justify being on your own by saying that you enjoy being single. This was true for me anyway. Have been in two relationships for the lat 15 yrs and would go back to being single willingly.

IME it boils down to it being something of a double edged sword. Wow at not being able to handle sharing soap though. I've shared a great deal more than soap with people I have been in relationships with.
