It's Better to be single than to get married.

that is how i feel about single life. i am at peace with my male cat. while i occasionally listen to relationship problems from people i know who r dating or married. i dont want to suffer like them....

Are you married? I am married and I'd say that my being married was better than my being single . But maybe that is because I do not have such misunderstandings with my in-laws. And the responsibilities that come with the marriage might be difficult but it is twice the fun. If you are married, then do not worry. Whatever problem you are going through with your in-laws will work out in the future.

i think if youu are not happy being married, and the relationship is not going to work already; then it is of course better to be single than be attached to someone you are not happy to be with anymore.

It is a damned if you do and miserable if you do not situation for many people. The single find at various stages freedom, independence, loneliness, misery. Many couples find the same even within the context of a loving relationship. The only bonus of being in a relationship as opposed to being without attachments are the spouse (partner's) parents. Whether you consider them in-laws or outlaws does not matter - they are still a bonus. Cheers.

At 23 I felt a lot like you do. I was going through a divorce & hated men in general. After having a GREAT marriage, I can tell you that there is NOTHING like sharing your life with the RIGHT person. Suddenly the obligations become pleasures. You look forward to seeing his face again. You enjoying being by his side sharing your problems. I would come in from work all upset over something. He'd say, give it to me & let it go!!! Then he'd give me a BIG hug & I NO LONGER had a problem. I would have been fine had I never married him; but my life was soooo enriched by the experience. You don't need a man to have a full life. However, you can have an even fuller life with the RIGHT man...and misery with the WRONG one!!!

when you don`t want to marry,you must think it is better to be single than to ge married,as a single,you can do everything you want,this kind of life is freedom and comfortable,so you like this life,you think this life is the best.but when you meet him or her who is very important in your life,you don`t think it is better to be single,because you fall in love with him or her,you want to live with him or her forever,in the two people`s world,you can get many treasure that cann`t get in single`s world.

I believe there are advantages to each state as well as disadvantages. Just because you get married means that you are tied to your spouse. It just means you have one more person that has your back. If your married, it should be an enhancement instead of a disadvantage. Which means if you have inlaw problems, make sure you weigh stuff before you DO marry. I have been married for a decade, and I'm now single, well divorced, and I promised myself that I wouldn't remarry unless I feel that God approves of the match and not only that, I feel that it's the right thing to do. I let the man that I am seeing that and he feels likewise. One thing I really like of him is that he will ask me things, he values my opinion, I value his, but at present, I am secure in my singleness.

Well, I am married with children but I am almost like single because I live away from my family. I work at a different place and I don't know when I will be back with my family. It's life. Cheers!!

hi there's a saying-'grass is alwayz greener on the other side'-which means you alwayz crave for something that u do not have-for those who are married,they alwayz rue that decisions,but those who are not married feel lonely and want to get married.

Yes, it's right. It's better to be single than to get married because you get more freedom in life than when you're married. But, one thing in life's true that you need a life-partner at one phase or another, when you are old and no one is there to look after you. At that point, I think you really need someone with you.

i disagree slightly, you are right about the responsibility and stuff but commitment....... inst that what life is about ,and what i want to tell you is that when you become old you feel lonely you want someone besides you to love you take care of you.it will be too late then. being single is more hard than being married for sure,no doubt. and about those problems you mentioned those are everywhere you go. at home,at work or school,on the road, so its life... and we have to deal with it. take care.

im single, i do have freedom,but sometimes i feel lonely.i need someone to hold my shoulder, to comfort me when i am sad.of course, your close friend or your family can do so.but their hugs are not the same as your life partner's. i will marry if my Mr.Right ask for my hand.i love to have my own family!

I believe my few single friend would strongly disagree with you. Being single may mean you are free to do what you like, in general and financially. But as far as being obligation and responsibility free, that just isn't so. My single friends have obligations and responsibilities coming out of their ears. With working, going to college and trying to maintain some sort of social life. They would love to be able to find a person to make it all complete. Sure, being single can have it's perks...but when you're married with a family, you get so much more out of life. You learn so much more. You learn the meaning of understanding, faith, compromise, patience and perseverance. I didn't get married and have my son because I needed someone to take care of me. I chose to do so because I felt a great love for my husband and wanted to share my life with him. Everything that comes along that is simply a blessing. Through my own family and my inlaws I've been able to witness what a true family is and what it means. I'd take that over being single and lonely anyday. Life gives us all different problems regardless if you're married or single. It's to test us. If you have faith in who you are as a person and in those who surround you then you can overcome anything. Families give you support, courage and strength. Marriage doesn't give you "future anxiety", it's how you are able to handle difficult situations and your attitude in general that decideds that.

You come into this world alone and go alone...... It is your choice to make your life beatiful in the middle with someone you love and want to spend the rest of your life with.

I'm a happily single lady but lemme just say this: Not all married people's relationships are the same. Not everyone has inlaws, not all inlaws are evil incarnate...not all couples even argue or fuss at eachother constantly. No responsibilities or obligations? I have responsibilities and obligations, I'm not free from family problems. I can't see how anyone who wants to live can completely avoid responsibilities and obligations, actually. Sure, I don't have kids...but I had to raise my brother and baby animals for a portion of my life...I know what its like. And it's not like single people can't adopt or have kids, either...

I agree with you whole heartedly. You young people how ever should naturally want to pro create. The key is in responce #1. finding the right person. Some one who will live and let live. Someone who accepts you as you are and try not to change you. It is wonderful to have children in a happy harmonious life style. Children are a blessing.

That was exactly the reason why i married late. My friends are still surprised that i got married!! But one thing i would like to confess, being single had a diffrent kind of fun amd excitement and being married has a diffrent kind of contentment to it, you know for a fact that have somebody. I cannot explain how i feel, yes you do get responsibilities on your head when you are married but then how long do you want to be single. I have enjoyed my self when i was working so that i dont regret not enjoying myself after marriage. things do change completely after marriage but then we change too, we dont remain 18 forever,do we!!??!! have fun till you can and settel down when you think you are ready for it.

hi there,its a different happiness being a married than to a single.yes single has free life but there are times that we hate being a single or we need sometimes to talk to,to share evryrthing.but if you married the good one yes then life if full of happiness hehehe.

Financially it is indeed an advantage to be single than married especially when you're the guy, coz you have all the responsibilities of giving your family the best life that they deserve... Im a single mom and have no regrets. If not with my daughter in my life now, I dont know if I am this responsible and this eager than Im just single with no obligation but myself. Having a daughter gave me the purpose of my being in this world. It gives a different happiness especially now that she is growing up and we are being best friends.

Hi friend,Being single is enjoyable only for sometime and after which you may feel lonely and long for a partner ,who will live for you take care of you loving and caring.This is human tendency.we need someone or other as partners to take care of.Taking up responsibilities is life .Without responsibilities and without someone to share your life you would feel bored and frustrated after sometime.Thanks for sharing.Happy mylotting.
