If the assumption that all single people are lonely, undesirable, or unhappy was correct, there would be no need for divorce lawyers and relationship counseling. Being single is not a curse nor a lesson, but an opportunity many take for granted. The best thing about being single is the opportunity to focus on yourself and get to know yourself better. And blessed are those who choose to spend that time wisely.

And if the latter reason is not good enough, the many more perks of being single might convince you there's no need to rush into relationships or feel down because you're not in one, even when most of your friends are. Around a month ago, a user on AskReddit asked, "What's the best thing about being single?" And to no surprise, the still-open thread received a lot of attention from the community's singles or ex-bachelors and spinsters reminiscing about their singlehood. From trivial things like getting the bed all to yourself to deep adult realizations like not walking on eggshells all the time, the answers varied, yet not a single one disappoints. For more honest, thought-provoking content, we also looked at two more similar threads on Reddit (#1, #2), one of which inquired about the benefits of being single, and the other asked to name the best things about being single. We then hand-picked the best responses from each to have them all in one place.

Below, you can find the list of quotes and ideas of why being single is better than being in a bad relationship—according to Redditors. Any so-called advantages of being single that you seem to agree with or can relate to from your own experiences? Let us know by giving those an upvote. Also, if this question resonated with you and you would like to add anything else regarding the topic, feel free to do so in the comments.

"Married father here chiming in.

The thing I miss most about being single is the ability to act purely in your own self-interest without having any sense of guilt or responsibility to another person. And I'm not even talking about something with high stakes - I'm talking about something as simple as wanting to eat an entire bag of Skittles without sharing it with another person.

Don't get me wrong, I love sacrificing for my family and sharing any and everything I have with my wife and kid, but when you're single, you have the ability and right to make every tiny decision based on your own self-interest or selfishness, and that's something I sometimes miss on a very simple rudimentary level."

"Peace and quiet."

OzzieBloke777 replied:
"This is the big one for me. I spend all day listening to people talk, often distressed. So it's nice to come home to quiet. No more talk. Just the ambient sound of my local neighborhood, markedly muffled by double-glazed windows and soundproofed walls. The occasional quiet grunt from my dog. The quiet whir of the refrigerator motor. My own thought as to why it's spelled refrigerator, but when we shorten it, we put a d in there, and make it the fridge. The sound of me typing these thoughts on the keyboard in front of me. The quiet eeeeeeeeeeeee of my tinnitus backed all of it. Ah, yes... silence."

"Have learned that a lot the last few years. Watched friendships slowly dissipate and sometimes end out of nowhere, seen people move on and move out of my life even though we shared a lot over the years. Makes you wonder if there’s even really a point in making new friends or getting involved with someone else, when the investment feels exhausting and like it could go away whenever due to an infinite number of reasons. Sigh. But yes there is also a freedom in thinking this way."

It's not even like my girlfriend is difficult to plan with or high maintenance or controlling, there's just a bit more friction on plan making when you have someone else's feelings to consider."

"Definitely freedom. I got offered my dream job that just so happened to be across the country a few years ago and was able to accept it without a second thought. If I had been in a serious relationship I wouldn't have been able to pack up and ditch town like that, and I'm so glad for it. The life I've made here is amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anyone."

Lasagna_Bear replied:
"I would hope that if it were really your dream job that your spouse/partner would at least consider moving with you. I've known multiple couples where the husband/wife moved across the country for their spouse's job. I mean, unless you have really deep roots or can't realistically find a similar job in a new place, it would be worth it to move for your spouse."

"Supporting a SO’s career aspirations is a lot harder than people realize, it’s a lot more than “I believe in you” and “you can do whatever you want”. It’s supporting them through every job rejection they get when they were more than qualified, being okay with moving to another city even if you don’t really want to... throw some kids in the mix and it’s even harder."

"It's actually cheaper to live with my girlfriend because we split bills but I imagine you could get the same effect from a roommate."

Couple hugging BlanketCop said:
"I'm free of the constant anxiety of if I'm being a good boyfriend."

bull04 replied:
"THIS for sure. My life was 10x worse when I was constantly anxious about needing to do as much as possible to keep my partner happy. She rarely wanted anything to do with me as well, but I always took that as something I was doing wrong, not her as a person.

Much easier to just focus on my own goals and spend my money/time doing what I want to do. I would like to settle down with someone one day but I'm still really young and seeing so many people already getting divorced in their early 20's with 3 kids makes me feel good about not making any rash decisions so far."

Friends laughing and talking User No 1 said:
"I can add female clients, coworkers, and friends to my contact list, and I can use their real names!"

bs-scientist replied:
"My ex was nuts about this kind of thing.

Where I work there is plenty of both genders, however my research group is entirely male except for myself. We do everything work related together. Mostly because we have to, but we are lucky enough to all get along well and be friends.

You would have thought I was f***ing all 7 of them by the way he made it sound. Like no... we ride the same bus from seminar every week to the parking lot together because it doesn't make sense for us to not all get on the same bus to go to the same place. I don't know. It was weird. He always tried to control who I spoke to. That didn't fly with me. Otherwise we may still be dating."

"Drama-free decision making. Not saying that people in a relationship are dramatic but man, the amount of confrontation in a relationship that comes with drama, just leaves you mentally tired sometimes."
