View from afar

I sometimes still feel bitter about being dumped but if I am honest, life is so good being single. I don't have :
someone criticising me for some inoffensive mannerism
someone telling me the curtains/sofa/house is no good and we need to buy a new one
someone throwing a violent mood for no reason
someone telling me that this or that needs repairing
someone demanding we visit some offensive relation of hers
someone freezing me out or worse for some 'crime' of miniscule significance
someone moaning about how terrible their day at work was
someone telling me I have to pay for some essential thing for her kid that the father of said kid can't be bothered to pay for.
someone giving me crap for telling someone's lazy shiftless teenager to wash up/tidy up/blah for the zillionth time
someone who won't get up at the weekend when I want to go out and take some pleasure in my teenyweeny bit of free time in between work and work

In short life is good. I spend quality time fishing with my son. I play music, read, visit interesting places.

OK so I don't get sex anymore, but the cost of that sex was probably about a month off my life for each year I had left. I see guys at work with their partners and I can see the grief they are getting. I can see the way the little girly is brainwashing the guy that they neeeed them.

So long marriage, what a waste of time you are.
