You're single for all your life waiting for the right person. Then it happens, you find the perfect person, fall in love and decide to settle down and get married and maybe starts a family. Do you miss some of the things you use to do as a single and if so why?

Yes, I think you lose your position of SINGLE PERSON! Now you have to worry about that other person you love, maybe your children and a lot of other things what you didn't worry about when you were single. You can't travel alone now, but you have to take all your family with you. You cannot sleep or eat when you want, you have to adjust your times to other people. And like that, a lot of things...

Freedom and painless feeling are the things I am going to miss if I am going to settle down.

I live with my boyfriend of 6 years. Parts of the single life that I miss come and go, elevating my emotions sometimes. Sometimes I even say I don't want to be with my boyfriend any more. I miss the excitment of meeting new men. Over the internet especially. The way I get to know people involves flirting with them, and I find that against my morals if I have a boyfriend already. So I struggle with getting to know people mainly from a lack of confidence from my new self image. Also, he likes certain foods. I miss eating what I like to eat when I like to eat it. If he weren't here right now I could be working on being a vegetarian again without meat around me all the time as temptation. There's a lot more tempting food now which I don't like. But I like my boyfriend, and we are together still. There are lots of positives for us being together, even if they are sometimes hard to verbalize, I can sense the innate strength I get from being with him.

we also just get one and have to abandon the other one as a human being .we just have two hands ,two foots ,we just hold on the limiting objects that we need in everyday life .so does the emotion ,even loving.learning to konw that it is enough and we could get the enough happiness.
