childless :marseywall: foids cope all over twox

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/14pitx3/it_is_better_to_be_alone_than_with_a_bad_partner

I am 45 year old single woman with no kids so bear that in mind. But I see a lot of relationship posts on here and some of the advice I see is 'There are better men out there." Sure. This is true. I know many, many good men out there. I have wonderful male friends who are supportive partners and great humans.

BUT

I think this misses a big point. No partner at all is still better than a bad partner.

As a single woman with no kids, I live my life for me. Sure I'm responsible for all the financial decisions. (Sometimes I wish I could blame some of them on someone else.) and for supporting myself, but I would rather spend the rest of my life doing this than with a partner who tells me that I'm not good enough. Or can't clean up after themselves. Or spends all day playing video games or whatever story it is this week.

Friends, don't stay because you're afraid of what is out there. It is just fine being single.

Notice how little she mentions her failure to reproduce

Internet trolls are always telling me I'm going to be old, alone, and in a house full of cats like that's a bad thing.

Same. Like okay, that isn't the threat you think it is.

Yeah, don't threaten me with a good time!

You’re going to end up with a gaggle of puppies and ice cream if you don’t stop it right now!! lol

They are projecting. That is the man's greatest fear. That is the worst thing they can imagine for themselves, so it must be for us.

What they don't understand is that scenario means we are unburdened by a crappy man who is sucking the life out of us. Nobody is putting extra domestic labor at our feet. Nobody is whining at us. Men struggle to make and maintain friendships as they age. They rely on their women for that. So when they envision a life alone, they are truely alone. They don't realize that women really aren't alone. We don't stop having friends just because we don't have a man.

A man sees alone and sees that there is nobody to take care of him and feels loss. What he doesn't realize is that we see that same situation as nobody we have to take care of. Because it is unlikely that the man will be taking care of us.

The company of a creature that shits in a box and randomly barfs at 3am is better than being around men... and that's supposed to be a reflection on us?

:#marseyeggless:

Or a lot of heterosexual women would, anyway.

Preach.

Mothers have more free time and sleep more after a divorce. Even if they take the kids full-time. That's right: for most women, a husband increases her second shift work. Having a whole other adult human in the house means women must pick up their load too. Astonishing.

Lots of excuses for homewrecking single moms follow

Absolutely. After separating from my man-child of an ex, being a single mother is not only less work, but also less expensive. And way less stressful.

As we say in french, "mieux vaut être seule que mal accompagnée" (better alone than in poor company).

>This is definitely true. And it's emotionally easier too because you aren't feeling resentment on a daily basis.

FOIDS, NOT EVEN ONCE

this is sad, but people make up bs to cope all the time. you wont always love your husband but you and him may be devoted to each other to help each other in life. listen to each others problems, venting and help out during bad health. that is the point of marriage, its not to marry who you love but someone who you can be devoted to and vice versa. this wisdom is lost on the modern day coombrain known as society.
