Have you ever been someplace awesome where you should be having the time of your life but all you can feel is sad because someone special isn't there to share it with you? Right now I'm in Ngee Ann City shopping center, Singapore which is basically my favorite place on the entire planet, but my wife's not here and I'm super bummed she's missing it. Feel free to share either your personal stories of being sad when you should be happy or also stories of a visit to Singapore you might have made.

it is unlikely that you are missing your wife or you would have not have left her behind most people dislike an abundance of choice. it's likely that you don't actually enjoy having 1200 restaurants within 91.44 meters. this condition is usually called analysis paralysis, known in German as "Analyseparalyse"

if you both cant enjoy things in the moment and want to share the experience with your wife as best you can then it sounds like the best thing to do is take lots and lots and lots of pictures of things. or videos some/all selfies should be authentically sad

Analysis Paralysis is why I spend an hour browsing Netflix only to end up watching old episodes of Friends every time. Friends isn't even good!

Speaking of Singapore, there needs to be a word for tropical countries that never have and never will see a real snowflake but they still use snow motifs extensively in their Christmas decorations.
