Six Reasons to be Happy Without a Boyfriend

Your relationship is over? After eating a decent amount of junk food, spending hours talking about it, watching a few romantic movies and crying at least once, you can finally be happy. 

The truth is that women can be many times happier alone than in a flawed relationship. Dozens of studies prove it, and we're reminding you of these unexpected perks of living alone that you probably forgot about.

Here they are:

More time for friends

Admit it, even if it's between you and me. As much as you promised yourself that you wouldn't forget about your friends in this relationship, it never happened. You can finally stop turning down invitations to go out to dinner, to a club, or to a strip bar without worrying that your boyfriend will feel left out.

Casual flirting

You can go as wild as you want. You're single now, you're not cheating on anyone, and if that cute guy at the bar asks for your number, there's nothing stopping you from giving it. Besides, now you're going to have those great first moments again that you can only have with a new man.

Independence

You want to lie around and watch soaps all day, or not shave your legs for at least a week, or leave the housework for tomorrow, or not dye your hair this particular weekend... you can do whatever you want because you don't have to conform to anyone anymore. Take advantage!

No more pointless scandals

They are an inevitable part of any relationship and sooner or later they settle permanently in even the most harmonious relationships. Now you won't have to argue with anyone about your colleague texting late at night or because you ran out of salt and can't season your salad.

Social life

It's time to pick yourself up again and indulge in all those enjoyable activities you never had time for. You can work out, go dancing, get back into your hobby, see your relatives more often or just spend time with your favorite girlfriends.

Career

Advancement at work is not a priority for everyone. But even if you're not a careerist, it won't hurt if your lack of connection elevates you professionally. And that's not impossible. Many women without boyfriends are more successful in their jobs.
