" I never will marry"

I think there is no one in this world that doesn't want to marry. And most probably, you are right. Maybe the person is just bitter is he/she said that kind of things. It can be a bad experience that happened to him/her, in a previous relationship maybe. It hurt him/her so much so he/she were not able to move to another attempt of relationship. But also, the reason can be because of what he/she saw around him/her. Maybe from his/her parents.

Hi there! I believe everyone has his or her own prerogative regarding this subject. If they are not the marrying-type, well, we just have to respect them with their decision. Deciding not to marry does not always mean that he\she is already bitter or romantic. Maybe that person just don't wanna commit into something that can hold unto him forever. Or maybe he/she is still not that emotionally and mentally prepared to marry.=)

QUite frankly, with the massive number of divorces going on - something like 3 out of 5 within the first 3 years.... why bother. Seems no one can keep a promise anymore. Nothing is sacred to anyone anymore. Walk out on your kids, no big deal. Yank your kids from a parent, no big deal. Granted there are times when safety is at risk, sometimes a divorce is what it takes, but I have seen to many people just not that into marriage or being with that same someone or just not taking it so seriously. MOney is a big breaker...one spends while the other earns, etc. Lot of things go into making a marriage and most don't look at that prior. I don't believe in living together without being married, but at the same time...lots go on "behind the scenes" so maybe that should be something couples should do...forget the s*e*x part of it, just live together to see how each other "lives" Are they a slob? do they take money matters seriously? do they take life seriously? How do they live? THat is how they will live once with you all the time.. are you ready for that? If you have intentions of "changing him/her" do it now before married and before kids...if you can't make it happen, then you can walk away and no one is hurt. But that 3 letter word runs the world now... no one seems to be able to do anything without that being first and foremost, so probably... nothing will change and divorce will get greater and marriage will fizzle out. Just won't be that important to people anymore.

I think people who decides not to get married is just people who are not yet ready in a long term commitment. I have seen many people like this before and I can understand the fear of being committed to one person only for the rest of the life. Maybe it is because they have not yet find 'the one'. A bitter person could have said that, but I think the bitterness should be based on some kind of traumatic experience about commitment. That's why the bitterness made the person fear of the marriage. But, not the 'not romantic' type of person. My dad wasn't romantic. He is not romantic even until now, but he is married to my mom, and therefore I am.

I think they must know their own mind. I know that I would never re-marry if something were to happen to my husband.I know it, the same way I know I will always be married to him. Marriage is work and a commitment I couldn't or wouldn't choose to make with anyone else, I'm only doing this once. I think sometimes people assume that when someone says they don't want to marry that they want to be alone, and no one wants that for someone else generally speaking. Had I not met my husband, I doubt I would have ever married. I would have had relationships I'm sure, but I wouldn't so this with just anyone.

Almost everyone I know wants to settle down and start a family. That's also my reason to get married. I feel that life is not complete without a home, my own home. Nowadays divorces are some common. We see so many broken marriages which wreck people's lives. Therefore, it's understandable that some people are taken aback by it and would probably think twice before committing to marriage. Also, there are people who think that getting married will hinder their careers. They probably don't know that it's possible to strike a balance between family and career.

"Never" is a very long time, but then everyone is different. I knew I'd marry only IF I found someone with certain qualities and values. I found him, so I married. Had I not found him, I would not marry. My mother swore she'd never marry after her divorce but she did. Others never married after their divorces, and others never married for the first time. My husband swore he'd never marry again...till I came along. LOL I just let people say what they think, and leave it at that. If they don't they don't, if they do, they do. No "I told you so's" if they do, just "OK great! I hope you're happy." Same, if they don't. Whatever makes them happy.

As I have always said: "I will never marry. I prefer to be merry!" With so many divorces, it is obvious that marriage is so highly overrated that people are rushing into the decision without thinking, and without any real commitment. Just say, "I DO!" and rush and multiply. Then devastate the entire family after a few years changing one's priorities. No, I won't play out that scenario. Let's just be friends. It's so much easier that way.

I think marriage is up to each person. Some ppl like the idea of living on their own, having the freedom to do as they please and not having to take care of anyone. Other ppl feel lost when their by themselves. I've been married twice and I know that if anything ever happens to Hubby I'm done. I have no intention of ever marrying again. I don't think it makes me bitter or anything...it's just how I feel. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Every people have a different thinking..." I never will marry", if I hear some one say this, then I think that maybe that person haven't met the right partner. Or maybe just being so upset about their previous relationship.

I used to think this way. The reason why I did was because I had always had bad relationships growing up. I am now married to my great husband and would not trade him in for anything in the world. Sometimes when people say they will never marry, may be saying it because of bad experiences.

Not that the person who said that he/she's not going to get married is bitter or not romantic, I guess, he has just not found the person whom to fall in love with. Or maybe, he/she is still busy with the responsibilities he's into. Or maybe, he/she's been in love before but experienced heartaches that he doesn't want to be in it once more. But I know, someday, somehow, he'll realized that it's very lonely to grow old alone. Only time can tell...
