52 reasons why it's great to be single

continued from page 1

21. After being married for 23 years (now separated six months) I also find it kind of scary to go out now that all the restrictions have been lifted...its like being a teenager again. Weird. I feel like I have been let out of prison.
22. You can tell him what you really think instead of keeping the peace.
23. You can be rude to his family.
24. You can eat what YOU want.
25. You can join a gym because you want to.
26. You can be rude to his boss.
27. I can have my friends over to drink wine and behave outrageously WHENEVER I want (because he never liked those friends anyway!).
28. I can open the curtains when I get dressed instead of fumbling about in the dark trying to keep quiet.
29. I don't have to worry about what sort of food to buy because he never liked any of it anyway. Now I can eat whatever, whenever I choose.
30. I'm not made to feel like an idiot for sitting on the Internet - I can surf to my hearts content.
31. I can listen to Depeche Mode 24/7!
32. I can spend all night on the phone without having to justify it.
33. I go to bed when I please, not when he 'wants to'. I can read all night and have the radio on.
34. There's no one to criticise the state of my car!
35. There's plenty of space in the wardrobe.
36. I don't have to appear interested in his job.
37. I no longer spend hours looking excited in computer stores or car showrooms, do not need to admire mobile phones, personal organisers, latest gadgets...
38. I can make a mess, and never tidy it up.
39. I can drink wine out of a mug.
40. I don't have to write cards on his behalf for birthdays or Christmas.
