What I miss most about being single

This isn't really a piece of writing. It's a list. (some of mine, some of someone else')

1. No Romance
Ya ya married couples can be romantic. But not the heart-skipped a beat, tummy-flipped, weak knees, I -could -just melt romance.

2. No firsts
Considering that you'll remain faithful to this one person. No first kiss, no first letter, no first fight. no no no.
3. Guilt
If you are a normal healthy male /female and you don't live on a deserted Island north of Timbuktu, chances are that you may bump into a person, of the opposite sex (other than your spouse) whom you find attractive. Anyone who's been through a heartbreak and fallen in love again will tell you that the theory of 'there's just one person for you' isn't true. Thank God.

So what do you do if you ever meet this other person also for you?

Imagine what life could be with so and so.

Feel guilty.

4. You are not worth it.

Yes you are worth it. but not worth the effort.

All the effort that people put in to impress the prospective other vanishes 'poof' once you are married. The spouse who used to douse himself in cologne feels its OK to f%*t while sitting next to you. Or dig for gold. Or not bathe. Perhaps we become so easily available, there's no need or desire to please, seduce or bowl over.

I miss that. While some may call it being comfortable. Or I don't have to pretend to be some thing else. But sometimes please do pretend.
