couples are kind of selfish

The other thing that sucks about being single is how you get totally gypped at Christmastime and other gift giving occasions.  It’s a completely out-of-whack barter system!  Let’s say your family is all couples and all couples that purchase gifts together.  So at Christmas you have to give a minimum two gifts per couple, but you only receive one.  Now let’s say you are the only single person in a family of ten!  You might get one birthday gift from a nuclear unit of 4, but you have to get all 4 of them presents individually throughout the year.  On top of all that you have no one to share bills with.

I am totally beginning to understand coupling and nesting a whole lot better.  it makes solid fiscal sense.  However, what those selfish gift giving couples don’t have is the luxury of being able to watch whatever they want on TV at all times, so in the end it’s still a toss up
