The end of a long relationship can begin a difficult transition for many newly single men and women. Although it is a big life change, being single has plenty of benefits that make it a better option for many people. A CNN article, published in 2010, stated that just over 43 percent of all Americans 18 years of age or older are living the single life. Many would argue that their choice to be single has given them numerous benefits including career flexibility, social freedom, increased amounts of personal time and fewer distractions.
Fewer Distractions
Relationships and marriages bring with them a lot of distractions. Whether it is wedding plans, arguments and disagreements or the butterfly feeling in your stomach that will not go away, these distractions can sometimes take away from your everyday life. When you are single, you have fewer distractions to worry about. You can focus your thoughts on becoming closer to your family members, spending nights out with your friends or getting the grades in college that you need to land your dream job.
Career Flexibility
Finding the perfect job takes a lot of hard work, long hours and sometimes many miles of traveling. When you are single, you only have to worry about yourself so it is much easier for you to move halfway across the country, if necessary. You don't need to worry about whether your boyfriend's dream job will be in the same city or whether your work schedules will allow for the time it takes to build a great relationship.
Social Freedom
When you are in a relationship, you have to be concerned about the feelings of your partner. Once you are single, you get to make plans that feel right for you. You don't have to ask anyone if they care if you hang out with the girls. You can feel free to go out and meet new people, have conversations and even go on some dates. Being single allows you the social freedom to do what feels best for you, without having to worry about what someone else thinks.
More Personal Time
People need personal time outside of school and work. Although healthy relationships still allow for a fair amount of personal time, single people often find that they are able to get a lot more alone time to do the things that they are passionate about. Being single will allow you to go out for coffee by yourself and read a newspaper, spend a night home alone watching your favorite movie or snuggle up on the couch with a good book whenever you want.
