I came across this posting the other day. I have copied and pasted it here. It may be generated by AI - I don't know - but it made me chuckle - just reading these observations considered by someone else and written down. OMG !
10 THINGS THAT BECOME WEIRDLY HARD AFTER YOU’VE BEEN SINGLE FOR YEARS
1. Sharing your bed.
You’ve been sleeping diagonally, controlling the temperature and using every pillow exactly how you want. Now somebody wants half? This relationship is already asking a lot.
2. Explaining where you’re going all the time.
You’re used to grabbing your keys and leaving. Now there’s a person asking, “Where are you headed?” Nothing suspicious is happening. You just forgot people in relationships communicate their whereabouts.
3. Giving up your perfectly good evening for mediocre plans.
Once you genuinely enjoy being home, “Come over and chill” has some serious competition. There’s food in the refrigerator, clean pajamas and a couch that has never wasted your time.
4. Making decisions with another person in mind.
For years, you’ve picked the restaurant, booked the trip and made weekend plans based on what YOU wanted. Suddenly there are two schedules, two opinions and somebody who apparently doesn’t want Mexican food tonight.
5. Having someone in your space for too long.
You can adore somebody and still quietly wonder when they’re going home. It’s not personal. Your house has been operating as a one-woman establishment for years.
6. Texting someone throughout the entire day.
Good morning. What are you doing? How’s work? What did you eat? Eventually you start wondering how many daily updates one human being could possibly have.
7. Compromising on little things you forgot were even compromises.
What to watch. Where to eat. How cold the bedroom should be. Which side of the bed belongs to whom. Apparently relationships involve negotiations you haven't participated in for years.
8. Letting someone help you.
You’ve spent years figuring things out, handling problems and getting things done yourself. When somebody says, “I’ll take care of it,” your first instinct might still be, “It’s fine. I already handled it.”
9. Making room in a life that's already full.
The biggest adjustment isn't always giving up independence. It's figuring out where another person fits between your routines, friendships, work, hobbies, quiet time and everything else you've built.
10. Accepting that someone has to be REALLY good to compete with your peace.
After years of enjoying your own company, being alone isn't the scary option anymore. So a relationship can't just give you somebody. It has to give you something worth changing a life you already enjoy for.
