Would rather stay Single if you can help it?

I have to admit plenty of risks are involved in marriage nowadays (at least where I'm at). One false move and you lose everything. Wife that supposedly loved you either gets "bored", finds someone else, or forms a false accusation on you... in any case, you lose...and you lose big. (loss of assets, loss of children, loss of freedom). I still want to get married, but I'm cautious, careful and realistic. Its better to see there is a deck stacked against you instead of pretending the lopsided odds do not exist.

I know what you mean. I am very happy in my marriage but if something ever went wrong, I don't think I would ever try it again. People are just not compassionate to one another anymore in alot of cases. I wouldn't want to go through a divorce either. I think I would stay single and maybe date sometimes.

i would rather give marriage a try than to stay single. as they say, no man is an island. it is not good for man to be alone. everyone has a partner. we all need someone to be by our side. how would one know unless you had the experience. have faith. it may not have worked with them but it does not mean it won't work for you.

Nope...life is too short not to enjoy what it offers to every individual..I will try it and if not successful I will keep trying and trying until I will find happiness..I am very positive that in every failures there is always a success once you have that attitude to find it!

i got married 11 years ago, separated 2 years ago. yes, i would rather stay single. being alone doesn't mean being lonely. :)

here in the philippines divorce is not allowed but anullment with very long procedure. i am a married person as of today and i wish we cound not be separated. to those people who get divorce, i think they just dont love each other very much..

I went through a rough marriage where I married young and my husband turned out to be abusive and manipulative, etc etc... After I separated from him a few years ago and finally divorced him, I was certain I would never want to have another serious relationship again, because I felt that all men were scum and everyone was liars, cheaters, etc. I didn't think I would ever have the desire to marry another man ever again! Then, I met a wonderful man and we developed feelings for each other. We have been together now for a year and the love is still going strong. He is the apple of my eye and I am sure one day in a year or two we will get married. We've talked about it quite a bit but want to wait until we can afford to buy a house together. If someone chooses to stay single or not is not important. If you find love and that person satisfies you so much you don't want to be with anyone else, I think that's good, as long as it's two good people in a relationship. It sounds cliche, but I didn't look for love or even WANT to find love, it just happened!

No, I don't like stay single even there are so many people divorced. But in fact, there are many warm families in the world in the same time. I don't like alone, I need someone to give me warm when I am cold. and I need some to hug me when I am hurt. and I like to do anything for better lift of the whole family.

There are women who sacrifice their happiness for their siblings. They don't want to end up into divorced to give their sibling a happy family with a father with them. Maybe its right if their siblings doesn't notice their parents cold treatment and will not affect them emotionally otherwise i won't do it. But its too impossible because children are too sensitive in many aspects. When i was young i say that i only like child and not husband. I was marry with my husband and while 3 months pregnant, i push him away, i'm not ready into commitment that i can't stand. It is a big responsibilities for me. Now i was with my family together with my daughter, my mind is fix when it comes to being single.Maybe time will tell if i will choose man between my family and my daughters sake.

It is sad to hear about divorce, unfaithfulness and all..But I dont think that we should doubt getting into marriage because of that..maybe we can learn from them..i think one of the reasons marriages fail is because couples marry for the wrong reasons..its not that they chose to marry the wrong person but because they got married at the wrong time or with the wrong reasons..It is really better to have a partner in life than to stay single, though I know some people are called to single blessednes.

No, I don't like to stay single for the rest of my life. I want to get married and make my marriage works out for my kids. Incase, I would have to go through with the divorce, I will do everything that I can to let my kids understand but I hope I would not have to go through that.
