    Willful bachelorhood.

    I have total license over my space, time, and money. I don’t have a wife or kids nagging me every day. I wake up to a quiet, clean house.

    The whole culture is trying to tell me I’m a loser, but I found the cheat code to a better life and I’m not jealous of anyone stuck supporting another person.

      Recently went on a date, and after a couple hours in the coffee shop we went for a walk where she started looking for something to eat. She said she doesn’t eat beef or chicken. She’s not vegetarian but she is gluten free and wants thai food but the thai place is closed so let’s walk and visibly confirm there’s no more thai places open and in my head I’m just like “OMFG I forgot how much I hate having to deal with another person while eating/trying to find food.”

      The whole time I’m just like, I hope I can leave soon so I can go eat whatever the fuck I want.

      Yea! I absolutely agree. None of my friends want to marry so there is no one messing up their space. Even the ones with boyfriends like to keep it that way because who wants to give up their personal freedom in exchange for a nagging husband and a kid asking whats for dinner. They have good jobs, take great vacations and their salary and time is their own. It really is a cheat code to a better life.
