Being married can be awesome — like an endlessly fun sleepover party with the best person you know. But sometimes, married people miss some things that come with being single.
On Reddit, folks are sharing these things, such as being able to do whatever you want and also avoiding farts that smell less than roses. Oh — and not being pummeled by your sleep-fighting partner in your slumber.

“Friends. Don’t get me wrong, my wife has done nothing to isolate me. But when you marry your soulmate and best friend, it’s easy to think that’s all you’ll ever need. Add a long-hours job to the mix, and before you know it she’s the only person you interact with away from your desk. Then kids come along, and you’d sacrifice anything for your family – especially free time. But the kids grow up, and your wife craves time away from you and the kids. Then one day you realize – you’re alone.” — KrispyRice9·3 days ago
