For men married for 5 years or more......and have spent a decent amount or some time single.


What do you miss most about being single?

Be honest, she won't read it if you delete net history

nothing really.

my wife is great and respects that fact we are both people before we are a couple and i do the same for her. i have nothing to miss because i never went into the relationship under the notion that i would have to give things up, i did so with a personal understanding i wasn't interested in doing said things anymore.

im a pretty content guy at the end of every day

I haven't been married for 5 years, but we've been together for 5 years, so I guess I'm close enough to gve an opinion.

Have to say, there's not much if anything I do miss.
I haven't given anything up, I still do the same things as I did before we got together.
Some stuff, she'll come with me, some she thinks is boring, so I go alone, or with my buddies.

Sure, there are times when one of us is cranky or something that it would be much easier to be single than to deal with someone else, but I guess we've pretty much learned how to deal with each other when we're cranky, so we can normally sense if the other needs some "me" time.

Maybe I just got lucky ?

The marriage is now ending, but we were married over 5 years (together around 9).

I miss much more about being married than I do with being single.

A best friend who you can do activities with, share things with, and have sex with was great..

Having more money. Going where I want when I want without her thinking I'm doing something wrong. Lot's more quiet time when I want to be alone (I'm not a sociable type all the time). I have been married for 6 years and waited until three days after my 40th to get married. It has been a steep learning curve.
