All of my salary goes to ME!

Meeting someone new and getting to know them and reaching that point where you can tell you have a crush. And then choosing to act on it or not.

I enjoy being "known" by my spouse. But I miss the thrill of someone new getting to know me. Didn't you always feel like your best self in the very early stages of a relationship when it was all new and exciting?

This. And not having to cook if I don't want to. I'm a single mom, so while I don't have a partner, I still don't feel "single".

Really? I am too, but I feel like I'm living in two worlds. The single life - meeting new people and enjoying the "newness" and anticipation...and then motherhood where I'm more wholesome.

Same here, but I married an awesome life partner.

You make plans on how to spend your time and money without consulting your partner or taking his or her wants and needs into consideration?

Who said that?

You can do everything listed in 12:12 on a Saturday with absolutely no discussion or coordination with your spouse?

Um, we have kids. Someone has to watch them. Hence, the need to coordinate one's time with one's spouse. Do you have kids?

The question isn't about having children. It's about what you miss about being single.
Of course there are limits to what you can do with children.
I took the title of the thread to mean "life without your partner."

I love my woman deeply and dearly, but....

I really don't want to have to be a good team player and participate in a 3 week 'cleanse'.

from time to time, I really do miss hooking up a new woman, who appears somewhat conservative and prudish on the outside only to discover she is a total tigress in the bedroom.

Watching whatever show I want, when I want.

Napping

Reading a book

Staying up late and not worrying about not getting enough sleep (that a child will wake me during the night or early in the am)

I don't miss dating at all, however, my DH is pretty great!

I don't really miss anything about single life. Sometimes I miss life pre-parenthood but that is different in my book.

Not having to share decision making, spending my money and time however I choose without having to negotiate any of it.

And the unstructured time, freedom to spend a day watching chick flicks, or shopping, or napping, or chatting on the phone, or on a random road trip in antique shops, etc...

And the unsupervised bobcat poaching of course!
