Being single is fantastic. You get to wear odd socks, act / speak / walk like a Neanderthal / Gibbering idiot with no threat of a slap round the head, and you can please yourself in a number of ways which just aren’t possible when you have a partner. For example, if I want to eat the crumbliest, most fall-apart-able cookies in bed—a pet hate my ex girlfriend held against me for the duration of our relationship—I can do so as much as I desire! But there are draw-backs, as everyone knows. One of the draw-backs of being single is that when I go to buy clothing I don’t have that oh so lovely scenario of getting home and being told that what I’ve purchased is utterly crap...
OK, so the point is that it’s easy to be bitter about partnerships, when in fact a partnership is sometimes not half bad. It can, I am even informed by partnered-up people (annoying successful ones) actually be a beautiful thing. Enigin have their own perspective on partnership (this time it’s the business kind).
As I grow older, facing the inevitable situation of being ‘partnered’ again, I find myself not worrying as much. Especially as Enigin have put my mind at rest, talking about all the advantages that being one of a pair of people--or part of a team--has over being a single, a social leper, a lonely, looked-down upon human-being.
Bitter and twisted? Have a read and think about it!
