Why are you single?

(Addicted to self)

One of the favorite benefits of being unmarried is having the freedom to do as you please, do whatever you want to do with your time, space, money. Wake up only when you want to, sleep only when you want to and stay out as long as you want to. You never have to ask a spouse’s permission for anything or share decisions.

You could choose to care or not. Even if you’re involved in organizations helping others, supporting relatives, caring for friends, these responsibilities are not as restricting as being in a marriage where you always have to consider your other half. You share space, time, even yourselves. It sure is nice being single and free UNTIL you get addicted to it.

You grow so attached to your space and freedom that the thought of them getting invaded and limited dreads you. You panic when someone comes along that you like because this means spending more for texting, saving for dates rather than new gadgets, this means you will have to take some time off yourself (and there’s so little left of that already after all the things you need to do) and spend it on another single person. But you get tired of being alone too; you want to love BUT what about YOURSELF??? Being in a relationship means you can’t just think of yourself.

So now you’re in conflict with yourself, more of you or less of you for another. Believe it or not some people are alone because of self-centeredness.

are you single because you are also self-centered?

partly, yes and partly because I'm afraid to get hurt.

"Why are you single" actually has part II, III and IV.
