Sure, every married person misses being single sometimes, for different reasons. You miss the childless life after you have kids, too. Marriage and parenthood are full of personal compromises, which is what makes them so hard. That Steve Martin line in the movie, "Parenthood" sums it up: "My whole life is have to!" It's easy to dismiss people who avoid or can't handle relationships as selfish and immature, and sometimes they are. But it does take a huge amount of sacrifice to live successfully with another person. I think both sexes have a problem with the monogamy aspect. At the end of the day, when you sum up your total feelings, it's either worthwhile, or it's not. If it isn't, get out of it. If it is, bring home flowers for no reason and kiss on the floor in the dark with music playing. High School!

Technically I am still married---- but going through a divorce. I have been trying to get divorced for over a year now and it is no fun. I used to think the same way--- like things would be easier if I were single again. It all depends on what is leading you up to thinking this. Does infidelity play a role? if so--- get out now! It will not get better--- once a cheater always a cheater! If you are just missing being single because of selfish reasons... get over it... you chose to get married.

O.K... I'm not even married. but I am in a serious relationship and have been for over 5 years.
I don't miss being single but it helps that we sometimes take separate holidays.. (we both have lots of free time so I guess we are very lucky) We don't always like exactly the same things (like he doesn't care for canoeing for a month in the Northwest Territories!!) and it is great to still have the possibility to make our dreams come true even if our dreams are not all the same.
I think it also gives us a greater respect for each others' achievements.. and some time to really miss each other.

I was just thinking about that today and the answer is a resounding NO! Why would I want to go to the effort of searching out a partner for sex, when I could have one already? Anytime I have something troubling me, I have a wife I can take it to. If I get laid off, we have my wife's salary to fall back on until I get back on my feet again. When I'm sick, someone who loves me takes care of me. If I were single, my children, who I love beyond words, wouldn't have parents who are together, and that would make their sweet, tender hearts sad. Being married means always having someone to share my joy with, do things with, talk with, have fun with -- yay for built-in companionship!
The only thing I can think of that being single has over marriage is the opportunity to get some strange once in awhile, and stacked up against all the benefits marriage has over being single, that one little thing sure doesn't amount to anything!

Sometimes people miss an idealized version of being single. They forget how bad dating is or maybe they met their spouse when they were young and don't know how hard it is to meet people when you are not in high school or college anymore. You might think sex would be better, but unless you have a nice list of booty-call numbers on speed dial, you have to put work into getting single sex much like having to sweet talk your spouse into some fun.

I don't miss being single. I have been married almost 15 years.

Like many of the others... of course! It doesn't mean I really want to be, but sure, I think about what my life would be like if I were single all the time. I'm also smart enough to know that the way I imagine it is a bit of a fantasy, and the reality wouldn't be nearly as interesting!

I don't remember, I got married at 19, and we have been married for 33 years, most of my life. Actually, I think I would hate it, trying to meet new people, the whole dating thing, that would suck, being married and having a family is where its at.

Sometimes, I miss the initial "excitement" when you first meet someone and the first time you make out. But, of course, when you have a happy marriage the pros far out weigh the cons. I have a husband I am in love with and an 18 month old son, and I am content. I think it's natural to have those feelings, but not natural to ACT or DWELL on them.
