I'll tell you guys what's worse. Being single when you're not. Right now my girlfriend and I are trying to work stuff out between us, (in a nutshell she & my folks don't get along at all, and it's not an environment that she'd want if we were to take our relationship further and pursue a future together - which I understand but still sucks because I can't do anything about it) and in the meantime we've "temporarily separated."
Now this sucks because I get all the great benefits of being single, being home on a Saturday, nobody to spend time with, nobody to "spend time" with, etc., combined with all the things people complain about when they're attached, like not checking out other women, not seeing other people, etc.
I don't mind the not seeing other people or what-have-you, because if we were together for sure I wouldn't be doing that at all, but when I don't know if things are going to work out for us, I sometimes wonder if it should matter if I should be staying loyal or not and it makes me mad to be kept on a string like this.
This isn't meant to be a sob story, but you single people ought to at least be glad you've got control over your situation. (And you do, mostly.)
