Well i am not yet married and i am still enjoying every bit of my life.my singlehood,independence,freedom from any infant relying on me for survival,freedom from being responsible to anyone except myself,freedom to spend my money the way and whichever way i choose,freedom to wear anything i want and spend my day the way i like,freedom to go wherever and whenever i choose,freedom from societal inhibitions of being a 'mrs',freedom to live my life and not anyone in order to please inlaws,husband and whoever.infact i dont yet think am longing for marriage so soon

Hm, you never know what you have got until you lose it. Men,I so miss my days of singlehood but I have resolved not to complain cos God didn't commit a crime when He gave me a hubby with wonderful kids. But like I always advice my single friends enjoy your freedom while it last.

As a guy, i surely miss the evening out with hommies. It's not as if i'm restricted,but a man has to be responsible enough to know how to spend his time and with who.

My sleep pattern,

Travelling without planning for it for months.

Random parties and groove grin

E plenty Sha, but am glad I did...

But when I get too stressed, I just look for grandma, while I take a family time off. Hubby on your own. No be only work they creat vacation for. cool

I dont tink dias anytin 2 miss bout life b4 marriage or childbearing cos evrytin we do in lyf is a choice nd no1 pulled a trigger @ u 2 marry.

All i know is dat in life dia ar stages, @ sm point u av 2 grow up, be a matured man/lady nd take responsibility, dia ar sm tins we did den dat we cant do now, not becos we cannot but because we av a more greater task ahead, i mean a responsible family man will av 2 limit d number of parties he attends on like b4 nd u cant rock gals lyk b4, u ar naw married, naw a parent nd its ur call, ur choice so u av 1 live wit dat fact nd face au u fend 4 ur family.

Am not married yet dough, guess i still av time 2 enjoy my adolescent years, cos notin lasts lyk memories, eida gud or bad

When I could walk into a bar and know that all the girls here are fair game.
When I could up and fly to Lagos tomorrow and not bother about nothing.
When all I did with my money was ball.
When I could sleep an entire weekend away in bed with different honeys.
When Life was so so meaningless and debaucherous.



In summary, I miss my FREEDOM!!!

YESSS HONEEEY!!!! NO!! I am not on Nairaland again, I am just checking my e-mails and account balance... grin

The freedom to suddenly change jobs and town wen boredom sets in,the days of no cooking,na to stroll enter mumsy kitchen chop all d chopables,d days of wakin up on saturday mornings glued to d tv watching series films,d days of being abl to sleep thru d nite wtht one pikin doing yinyinyin in my ears,d days of walking down d street and knowin dt 90% of d guys ther r eyeing u for chyking undecided

All that said,I'm thankful for my hubby and kids,cos this life is in stages

[color=#990000][/color]wat a thread.... I am enjoying my marriage but I miss sometins. I miss my going out on weekends, drink n groove wit friends n may end up sleeping in a friend's house dat lives closer 2 d particular joint. I miss Karokee nites on fridays n sum it up wit clubbings. I miss watching football matches in public areas wia we can argue n shout on top of our heads while smokers fill d entire place wit cigar. I miss calling anybody I want at any time. I miss travelling witout taking permission. I miss spending witout any ....... I miss wearing wateva I like 2 functions. I miss sleeping straight from nite till morning witout baby requestin 4 one tin or d oda wit cries. I miss many tins but I hav the sweetest marriage ever...

Not planning on getting hitched for a very very long time. I mean I'm 18, for fhuck's sake! There's nothing you can get in an early marriage that you can't get if you wait.

Not that I'm a marriage advocate, au contraire, I believe marriage (in whatever form it comes), is UTTER RUBBISH!!

As a single, carry more than one babe, drink and smoke. Risk your life as there were not dependents. But no more, being married. Gentleness and meekness has set in. You think of wife and lovely kids at home before taking anu action or decision.

Interesting that this thread is coming up today. Last night, I went to bed at 10.30 pm only to b awaken by my baby at 12.30am, she didn't go bak to sleep till 8.30 am. In my sleepless state, I had to bathe and prep her older bro for sch, pack 2 meals, tidy up d mess he made in my living room, bathe and feed d cranky baby before finally crashing into a 5hr sleep grin

Do I sometimes miss my single life of being responsible for no one but M̶̲̅ε̲̣? Yes

Would I trade my current life for anything in this world? HELL NO!!!

@ topic. Things I missed as a single lady:

Freedom to sleep and wake at anytime I like. Before babies, if am awake at 2.30 am it must be cos am watchin a good movie.

Not having to worry about bills and other expenses. Mum and dad always took care of dat grin. Now any plumbing, electrical issues r my palava.

Not really an outgoing person so I can't exactly say I miss paintin d town red grin, but I sure miss d ability to hang out wit my gals anytime I like.

That being said, I love my currently life; never a dull moment with those kids cheesy
