Truth

I know I sometimes wish I had a partner to cuddle with and hang out with and be in a relationship with, but I have to say this too...

I love going to bed when I want, reading as late as I want and being able to sleep on both sides of the bed.

I also love waking up having grabbed my teddy bear at some point during the night and knowing I got good hugs from someone who loves me.

Amen to that. Sometimes we underestimate the value of being alone.

I'm guessing that if you asked any married person who told you the truth, they would whisper that if the idea of a f*ck buddy wasn't so shocking, they would never have thought about getting married.

I liked being single too. I like being married, but it doesn't mean I don't miss being single from time to time.

In a funny way, having children is another step further into the depths of "nothing you do is for yourself"...

hey victoria, i love your blog.... i am just learning the single life, after about 15 years of long term relationships... I agree that a snuggly hotwater bottle is the best cuddle and i'm loving the whole bed to yourself thing... its the laughter and craziness i miss, the snuggles on the sofa and the routine of life... Apparently i have to start dating again... but bugger me, how daunting is that... I think i could win an award for flirting, but when do you broach the subject of whether they are single or not??? I think i need dating school lol!!! x

Well, thanks Coastal Girl :)
I hear ya on the missing of the snuggles and laughter and routine. Oooh, you're a good flirt? Maybe we can exchange techniques! You teach me how to flirt and I teach you.. er... um... hmmm.... I gotta figure out my best "single move"! ; )
