If the question is which is easier I think it is far easier to be in a relationship than not.
That said, if you do not want to be in a relationship, you should get out, regardless of what will be easier. I agree with mango, seriously examine your relationship and why you want out. If it's just because you think a "better" person is around the corner you are in for a rude awakening, if you don't see a future with this person, it's time to move on.
If you think you are better off not in a relationship, then something isn't right in that relationship. I've been single most my life, and I'll take a good relationship over single anytime.
And if there is a real or percieved reason for jealousy, get rid of the jealousy !!! If you have not seen or caught your mate doing anything with that person, get over it. All you will do is destroy the relationship you have and make yourself out to be a fool. Been there done that. Finally she and i is talking and maybe will get back together again, but it won't be over night as I have alot to prove to her. Bottom line is she is hurt badly that i didn't trust her when she was completely up front and honest with me. I was wrong and it caused a lot of heartaches.

That is very true. Unfortunately, a lot of people won't end one relationship until they have another to go to.
Christmas shopping perhaps? Although, when we lived in Georgia Mall of Georgia had a lot to see and some very nice upscale restaurants attached to it. I could see having a little date there.

I can relate to that Croye. The holidays are a hard time to be alone, especially if you can't be with someone you do care for.
If Single means not having to deal with the following things:
-Having to explain where you are at, all times of the day
-Have to keep the cell with you at all times so when you are being checked on you answer it
-Have to promptly respond to txt's, emails or phone calls or else #1 will happen
-Have to clear everything with the SO, even if you are going to lunch with co-workers at work! Forget about even hanging out and having a few drinks with co-workers after work!
-Can't have any time consuming hobbies that will take ANY time away from SO (Gym, biking, working on car, etc)
-Can't hang out with friends on the weekend unless SO is with
-Can't even go out with your kid for dinner without being questioned/accused!
Then I am glad I am now not in a Relationship! Let the good times roll!
The greatest thing about being single is YOU CAN DO WHAT THE !@#$ YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT AND NOT HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANYONE!!!
