No, you do not have to get married. Nor does not being married mean that you live your whole life alone. Many people choose to live together for the rest of their lives without ever getting married. Marriage is NOT a requirement.

some people are happy to live alone. some people prefer it. and not marrying doesn't mean you have to stay alone. I'm not yet married, but have had a lovely long term relationship for the best part of this decade. it's only recently we've got engaged, but it's not vital to a good relationship.

Overall, I think some time on your own would be the best option, but it's completely up to you. I think you need to make a decision soon before other people end up hurt. Good luck!

if your really think yes you need to get married, because who will care to you, when you will get older. dont say me you can stay alone for your whole life i think no way.

This is such a stereotype. That one needs to be married in order to be truly happy. That they have to complete that other half of them. I do not agree with this at all. I have been happy single for about two years now. Yes I sometimes go on dates but thats about how far it goes. My last long term relationship was pretty much my first long term relationship. We had a kid together and he bailed. I than started dating again. It was pretty much a waste of time. One jerk after another. Don't get me wrong I am not knocking marriage, dating or men. I know people who are very happily married. But me I have always been my happiest when I am single. So no I do not agree with your statement at all that a person has to get married. This is just absurd. It's just me and my son and honestly I do not want it any other way. I do not need a man coming into my life and changing everything up. I pretty much do what I want and do not need to answer to anyone. Sure one can be happy in marriage but look at all these people who end up divorced. Their other half being unfaithful or abusive. I'm single and happy. And I would much rather be single and happy than maybe ending up with someone who makes me not me anymore. Marriage just isn't for everyone.

Actually, you're wrong. I think the official percentage is 50-50. You have just as much chance of getting divorced as you do of not.

Your question was answered in the last thread and yet you ask it again? Are you wanting someone to look up a law book somewhere and point out law text saying you HAVE to get married? I'm sorry but you won't find that. There is no law. We are all given free will and as a result of that free will, there can not be a law telling us what to do with our lives concerning marraige. If you want to marry, then marry! But don't set goals for yourself about being married IE be married by 23, have a child by 25 et. al
