The Benefits of Being Single During Lockdown
Jump to: Newest in thread
Being single general has lots of benefits. In lockdown being single can be a bit completely pants at times though.
So, ever the optimist, I thought it might be good to find those 'sliver linings' and share  |

"Not wearing a bra 
I've been loving this way too much during lockdown!  
Me too, and the shaving thing as well "
Hehe I'm starting to wonder what it will be like when we actually have to be normal and presentable again |

For me I can be fully shaved, nails done and made up as often as I want, safe in the knowledge the only time anyone will see me is when I'm shopping, and I'm usually gloved up and masked up so no-one ever really knows!  |

You can perve all the men wanking on cam at 3am in the morning without having to make up a lame excuse about going to the toilet for awhile because you’re “constipated”.
 .
Likewise you can play around with the background settings on Microsoft teams whenever you fancy for as long as you want, without the other half shouting out “Luna, stop being a dick and put the setting back to the library setting” and ruining your happy vibes. |

That is a really positive positive |

These are excellent positives. Ever since I saw the story, about a team manager that managed to turn herself into a talking potato by accident, I have tended to leave the backgrounds alone  |

Walking around the house naked and having a drink without being nagged.
Is that only available to you during lockdown?
Which one?
All of them "
Well when I was married we never went around naked, and I often got nagged about drinking and falling asleep..  |

"Not single so kind of gatecrashing but I would imagine sleeping star shaped in bed with nobody saying shift up after drinking the full bottle of wine yourself is a bonus "
It sure can be. Though I, for some reason, still sleep on 'my' side |

I can give my foof some air when flo comes to visit and not stress about it.
Food lasts longer
Pack of 4 looks rolls lasts at least a fortnight
My clothes don't need to match AT ALL
I can go to bed whenever I want and not feel guilty
I can watch whatever I want
If my toots stink, they stink
If I want the windows open, I open them and don't worry about anyone getting chilly
I can cry without being questioned
If I don't feel like washing up.... I fucking leave it
When I can't sleep at 3am and decide to start polishing the lounge nobody thinks I'm a weirdo |

"1 less person trying to tell me how I should be living my life
I'm talking about in lockdown here, when everyone is telling you how to live your life "
Fare point |

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
I can stay up all night if I want to, spend my time how I want to and don't have to justify it to anyone except me.
Plus I haven't ended up committing murder. So yay! |

"Get up when I want - go to bed when I want & do what I like in between, well apart from work getting in the way!
Still working is a positive "
Yes fair point - not sure how long I'll be in work for but at least the bills are getting paid at the mo, x |

If I'd have still been with the ex during any lockdown I wouldn't have been able to make the sweeping no murder statement.... |

I almost forgot!
The biggest positive for me, as long time WFHer has been that (certain) friends etc. now know that it means that I am not just sitting here waiting for them to call for a chat. I am actually working!!! |

Twice the fresh bedding
And being at home more I'm putting fresh bedding on at least twice a week 
So fresh bedding is on, I'll sleep one side tonight and then the other side tomorrow and double up on the fresh bedding factor |

Me too. I was d*unk
But are you enjoying being back?"
Well, it's not like it was when we could meet, but, being an old hand at it it's not getting me down.

I know where you are coming from on this one on both counts. |

Nobody else to bring in an infection but me. Healthier.
Less to buy at the shops is a huge benefit if you hate shopping as much as I do
The full 7 day schedule is my own to create.
Home temperature is exactly right for me |

"This all just sounds like the benefits of being single in general...
I'm not sure lockdown is a factor right? "
Yeah! Not listing to someone else's attitude. At least living side by side you can dodged each other. Little doses you can cope with. All day, everyday. I swear to god someone up there is looking out for me, single before this happened. Phew, counting my blessings. |

There are so many pros to being single but the older I get it’s defo better in a relationship, obviously they have to let you watch football, be a sexual freak, and do the deal of they cook, I do the dishes. |

a quandary, could you change my mind? |
No one suggesting my journey to the supermarket is unnecessary
Not running the hover around quite as often as nobody is arriving.
Similarly the washing up can wait till later, much later.

My house is a tip, but as nobody is likely to pop round unexpectedly it doesn’t matter.
I haven’t shaved my legs since Christmas.
Wearing my pjs all day is the new normal, unless I am going to work.
Iceland’s is the only delivery that I don’t have to wait nearly 2 weeks for. Not sure that’s such a plus as I am eating way too much rubbish! |
