The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Or so the saying goes.
But what happens when we actually get to the other side? Most of the time, we discover that the only thing that has changed is the view, but many times we also discover that the way of return is blocked. And the grass sure looks greener on the other side (if you’re still with me, that’s now the side we just came from).
Those in relationships, whether married, cohabitating, or long time couples, may consider the single life “greener” from time to time.
One of the ways being single seems greener is:
Not having to answer to someone when I come home every night.
But consider the view from the other side of the fence, the view of the single person:
I have no one to answer to when I come home every night.
Not looking so green now, is it?
The point is, before you actually jump the fence, try to imagine how the other side views your grass, and just maybe your grass will look a little greener.
