Singlies

[york away to this!]

I've never really been single(since my teens) I've always work away from home and that seems to keep things fresh. It was great to get home tonight after six day's, put my feet up an have a chat.

...has she introduced you to the lodger yet?...

A colleague at work is single and so are his two brothers - decent enough chaps but all now in their late 40's/early 50's.

None of them have kids and are ever likely to.

I have pointed out that for them to exist today, firstly chemical reactions had to miraculously happen to create the first forms of life. These first life forms then had to reproduce and over millions of years gone through various stages of evolution from simple single cell species, to water dwelling creatures, which at some stage made the incredible effort of hauling themselves on to land, evolving further into more complex creatures that have survived catastrophes like meteors hitting the planet and so on. And yet each one of my friends direct ancestors has managed to reproduce offspring before dying so that the family line is continued to this very day down to these three guys.

Now, because these lads are all a bit shy, their family line ends here after all this time.

Good writing.

I've never put too much thought into keeping a family bloodline going. I suppose some people feel a sense of responsibility and I can understand that, however I certainly wouldn't feel obligated to be in a relationship because of it. Maybe I've been watching too much Game of Thrones?

The lad talks sense. I love my life now as a happily married man, don't get me wrong, but I do catch myself sometimes remembering my time as a singleton rather fondly. On the weekends I didn't have the kids I would drop them at their ma's, then it was all about me until the Monday morning. Stay in on a Friday, used to decorate my house on a Saturday morning bit by bit, then if City were on i'd meet my mate and sit getting pissed all afternoon watching that. Lie-in on a Sunday, tea cooked for me by my ma and a very easy lifestyle indeed. That feeling of 'I can do what the fuck I want the next 48 hours' from a Friday evening was very fine. That was then though, and this is now. Depends who you're with too as the relationship leading up to that 6 months of freedom was fucking dog shit towards the end, whereas now I never want to be without my wife ever.
