Are You Jealous of Your Single Friends? It Happens…

November 8th, 2011 - By LaShaun Williams

"The single life"

Relationships are cool. Marriage is great. Love is beautiful. But, being single is actually not so bad either. In fact, the freedom to slide through the front door at 5 a.m. feels pret-ty awesome. And, though some of us coupled-up women refuse to admit it, there are moments when we miss the single life.

Grass has a way of looking greener on the other side; and, human nature has a way of coveting the best of both worlds. We see our single friends delighting in the joys of freedom—flirting at happy hour, mid-week GNOs and, oh, the sweet sound of silence.

Many of us spend so much of our single lives looking for ways to get into relationships that we miss how fun it is to be a part of the Single Ladies Club. And, it’s not until those days are gone that we yearn for one more round of happy hour singles meet-and-greets disguised as networking events; or one more impromptu Tuesday night trip to the movie theater with the bestie.

Think you may be secretly thirsting for the single life, again? Here are signs you’re (a little or a lot) jealous of your single girlfriends:

    There are sometimes I do miss being single I am not married. I have been dating the same guy for 3 1/2 years.

    Sometimes I do miss the flirting with other men and going out with other men.

    I pick two out of your six, so does this applies to me? I would just like to tease but it wouldn’t be worth it or go anywhere. So, I’ll pass……

    This must be a joke. Or today’s attempt at trying to make single people feel good about themselves. There’s nothing wrong with being single, but nothing compares to being with the one you love. You make it seem as if when you’re with someone you basically go on lock-down. Obviously, I don’t flirt with other guys anymore, but I honestly don’t miss it. Whenever I need some alone time, he understands. And if anything, going out with my man is a lot easier than planning a whole thing out with my friends. He’s just down for whatever while it’s always something else with my friends. “I don’t like that type of food,” “My feet hurt,” “I’m on my period,” “I’m not trying to deal with so-and-so tonight”… Ughhh please. But even when I do feel like dealing with all that and I want to get away with the girls every once in a while, he gets that and it’s no problem. As far as shopping, at this point I’m not married so what’s mine is mine and what’s his is his. Ladies, don’t have fleeting moments of envy when in reality (if you’re in a good relationship) they’re just wishing they had what you have.

    That’s BS to me! I’ve never been as good and as happy as when I had a boyfriend. We were spending quality time together but we had these alone time to let the other breath. I would go shopping with my friends, go clubbing and party like never with my single friends, we would have girls trip once a year and little week-ends together. And my single friends were jealous because I was attracting a whole load of guys even if I wasn’t available.

    Now that I’m single I don’t go out much, I’m not as happy as I used to be, and honestly my whole life is boring!

    I’m not even going to lie there is stuff about being single I miss, i.e. the shopping sprees, but once you get cuffed up or married it’s not like all the fun stuff ends.  You just begin a new chapter
