You stop wanting to throw heavy objects at happy couples

Slide 3 of 9 prev | next

Why? Because it reminds you that love exists and is possible... again, when you're ready.

You stop crying every time you get a wedding invitation

Why? Because you know your time will come when you're ready.

You're psyched you don't have to share your bed

Let's be honest, sharing a bed with someone is the pits. Beds were made for optimum sprawling.

You stop wanting to throw heavy objects at happy couples

Why? Because it reminds you that love exists and is possible... again, when you're ready.

You stop throwing a fit over Valentine's Day

IT'S JUST ANOTHER FUCKING DAY.

You stop making excuses for your single status

If you can own it, and smile (and mean it!), then you've arrived, made peace and are genuinely happy about it.

Doesn't that feel nice?

You stop thinking of yourself as a third wheel

You know, because you're not a wheel; you're a person.

You cry happy tears when one of your friends gets knocked up

If you're crying because you're happy and not because you're mourning the ongoing emptiness of your own uterus, then you're definitely happy... for both of you and your friend. No more selfish tears here!

You stop thinking of Saturday night as "Date Night"

It's the winter. Who wants to go out anyway? Staying in and cozying up under a blanket watching bad TV is the best.

Good God you make me miss living alone. I love you BF, but I am so not a “together-all-the-time” person.

I loooved being single. Wouldn’t trade the hub for anything in the world, but sometimes it would be nice to starfish out in the bed again.
