Do you think getting married is giving up your freedom?

Hi, I love this topic....Interesting topic to be discussed in Mylot. I am married and for me, marriage is full of responsibility and automatically our freedom will be set off. It means less freedom and more burden to be carry on. After married, I stay with my in-laws, I have to show respect to them and I can't do whatever things I like. I have to consider their feelings too. Of course, I have a considerate and lovely husband at my side. However,marriage has a good side too.At least, I have found my MR.RIGHT and I won't feel lonely. I have someone to share my happiness and sadness and we have a lovely relationship ever after. What I can conclude is marriage has a pro and con and it is totally on how you are going to handle it.

Yes.Getting married is giving up our freedom.Getting married is equal to getting more responsible.If responsibility increases your pressure will be increased.But every one has to undergo with marriage life. Thats life. :)

i dont think so i still will go out with friends once in awhile, even hang out with some female friends too.

If you don't really wanna get married and you just did it because you have to, then maybe you will think about marriage that way. But if you really love each other then you may say that you set your self free, free to love the person you married.

i don't think there is anything between freedom and getting married. we can get freedom nomatter we married or not.

NO, married is not giving up our Freedom !!! In our life, we have to go through all of the stages. Let start from baby, little boy/girl, teenager, adult and so on. Our life is changing through all of the stages. When we are married, we have our obligation to be a married person. Never claim that you are giving up your FREEDOM.

Sometimes i felt that, But I still think that marriage is just starting a new lifem and it really depends on how you manages your freedom and how your husband and you give each other some space. My family consumes most of my time, But I always make it a point to at least give myself sometime as well, ANd I let my husband have some time on his own, ANd I really think that it was very helpful to us, It made our marriage stronger and we have trust to each other. You have the power for your freedom.

I don't think so, no, but that's because I talk about marriage with my boyfriend and he understands what a good marriage is. I don't think that you should be giving up freedom, although dreams may have to change. My mom married my dad knowing he was going to join the Army and that she'd never have much of a career as a social worker because we'd have to move so much, at least not until he retired. I could never imagine marrying someone so controlling that I would be really giving up my freedoms. I mean, things change and you BOTH have to make compromises, but you shouldn't be giving up freedom.

I don't think that it's more on giving up of the freedom. I think that it's into giving up some stuffs or limiting it. It only depends if that particular habit can be a distraction to doing your responsibilities.

Absolutely not. I see a lot of married people, even my own parents, still living life as they want to, even if they are married. They do whatever they want to do. For example, my mom still has all the freedom she wants. She travels with her friends or have dinners with them. It is all about balancing priorities.

i am married and i think freedom is still there,but even if one has FREEDOM ,Married or not, FREEDOM also has its limitations...thanks!

if both you and your partner are happy together then you're not giving up your freedom coz at the same time the two of you are benefiting from each others' company.

if its a good even marriage it shouldnt

Nope, its not..Marriage is a sharing on life with your partner..Only those you are not happy with their married life have this kind of view.

yes...in a way. Specially for women. Women normally give up a lot of things once they are married. Sometimes it could mean giving up their career. Women have freedom to think but needs to consult the husband first, specially if the husband is the one earning for the family.

There are some things you're gaining and giving up when you go from a single life to dating, and marriage later on. You'll gain is a partner to help them out in life, but then there will be some decisions you cannot make right away before talking to them. For example, if there was a job related travel opportunity in a company, the single person could just answer yes or no to wanting it. They may need time to think about it first. The married person will need to talk to their partner and know how they feel about it before they can give their answer. The married person may want to really go but turn it down because of their partner's reason(s).

sometimes I do. I'm a hermit of some sort so I can't imaginge myself sharing my life with someone, much less putting their needs first instead of own selfish claims to grandeur. sounds a bit selfish right? maybe I'm just in that phase of my life when I want to enjoy everything that life has to offer me.

I think sort of yes. I have been married for 1 year, I feel that I am losing my friends' circle. Since I have to spend most of my time with my hubby, and if we want to do something, it is not only about me, it is about us. So we need to compromise. But in general, it's not as bad as we think, marriage is the best thing I haven't experience so far. I am enjoying it. Since almost everybody would get married and have own families. The main trend is spend more time with family than friends then.
