im 50/50, i have a house, 3 cars, 2 kids and a cat, a 'stable' job, and a gf that is there for me, cooks, cleans, looks after the kids and me, but im broke, skint, no money to my name that i can say, this is my money to do with what i want, and she can be a right annoying tw*t sometimes, but after an few minutes, our arguments blow over and it leads to angry sex

before i got with her, i had money, i had a better job and was earning more a week than what i could spend of it, takeaways, meals, clubbing, new clothes, spent loads on my cars, always with mates getting up to mischeif, chilling down the pub with my mates after football, would go and play football every weekend, life was free, i was living my teenage yrs into my twenties, although at this point, i was with the ex and she was a bit psycho
then a had a bit of a breakdown, couldnt cope anymore, things were getting to me, felt lonely, i had no stability, and i werent going to get that with he psycho ex, i dont have time for breakdowns now, my mind is too preoccupied, everytime i get a bit low, i think of what i have and give my 4 month old son a big hug, ive still got good mates around me, just not as many as i used to have
in short, to awnser the question, yes life is simple when single, but its a lonely unloved road
