When you're single and when you're married.

What a negative way of seeing things! Why don't your friend enjoy being single while she's single and being married when she is in it. If she is unhappy, she should try to look for ways to resolve the problem and change the situation. To be realistic, we would always face problems whether we are single or married. What we need to do is accept the situation or try to change it if we want to. Make ourselves happier!

I used to think that being married is the best situation to be in 5 years ago. now i'm married, and my life is so miserable.

I am not single, but I am not married. I have a boyfriend. I love my boyfriend, but I don't know if we are ready for a commitment. I find it funny that this quote is true because when people are single, they long to be with someone, but then when they are with someone, then they kind of wish that they could go back to the days when they were single. I think that being single was fun, but it did get lonely. Since I have a boyfriend, I love him and I love being with him, but there are times where I do wonder what it would be like to be single again? Then I remember how lonely I was when I was single, and I am just thankful that I have my boyfriend.

I don't think everyone thinks like that. I know I don't. I do admit looking at all the couples when I was single thinking ...oh how nice. But I don't look at single people and regret anything. I like to be loved in my life and I like to love someone else. People who think that way are probably not ready for a relationship in the first place and when they're single then they just want someone by them.

I use to think the women I worked with were strange. They'd talk about their husbands and I could tell they were pleased to be married. Then they'd turn to me and tell me how fortunate I was not to be married. I believe most people want to have someone they'll be spending their life with. Sometimes that companionship is through marriage, sometimes not. People need to learn how to be content in whatever their circumstance.

I think there is some truth to that. But it's just human nature to not be satisfied where we are - we always look for something to complain about. We're rarely happy with what we have and in some cases, with who we are committed to. Though I'm sure there are people out there who doesn't take part in the status quo, and I'd like to believe I'm one of those. I'm happy with who I'm with and can't wait to marry him! =) Cheers!

I definitely think there's some truth to that. When I was single in high school all I could see were the people around me dating and how happy they looked and I wanted that companionship and everything, too. Now that I'm married and all of my friends are single, it's different because I see how they get to go out and party and flirt and have fun and I don't really get to do that. On the other hand,I certainly wouldn't give up my current situation for anything. Sure, I do sometimes wish I could go out and flirt a bit and have some fun like my single friends, but I do truly prefer being able to come home to someone who loves me and is and will always be there for me, who can support me when I need help. I know a lot of my friends who would love to find someone like that, or some that are in unhappy relationships that wish their spouse was more like that. ^_^ So I certainly can't complain.

Hello Laydee, SOmetimes, it can be sad or lonely to be single. most specially when a trial strikes me. but i thought about the preparedness of it. so, when ever i realized that am not ready for this, that's when to stop being sad or jealous about seeing couples or people who have relationships. i bet they got worse problems than i ever encounter.

I absolutely agree to those who believe that this is a mere sign of discontentment. It is but human nature to feel this sometimes but a person should realize when to be contented because otherwise, it will be a never ending journey in life.

Hmm, this makes me think as well. This seems to be quite true, but not the total truth I suppose. Indeed, previously when I have not met my boyfriends, all I see on the streets are how sweet those couples are. I kept wanting to have someone to accompany me as well. Now that I am four years into my relationship, at times, I really feel that being single is better. However, at other times, I still do appreciate all that my partner has done for me! And till today, I still love him as much as I do, perhaps just not showing the same enthusiasm as before ;)

When i was single,i had always been thinking how to find a partner,because i often saw some couples beating and bantering happily.In addition, i looked forward to the kiss very much.But when i really did,i found there so many difficulties in front of us.And then unconsciously we would miss the single life in the past.Howerver,we must realize that if the couples could figure out those difficulties,through which they will be more happy,the love more steady.

I think no, for me its no. Yes Am exited being in a relationship,but for the mean time I enjoy being single. Happiness is a mere choice, whenever you are single or married. Singleness is a gift, it is privilage that God give to us. This is the time to enjoy being you, with your friends, to dream, to explore with no dimension and limitation.. It's up for you on how to enjoy every oppurtunity that comes in your way. People who have regrets being in a relationship is the people who does not enjoy their days being single. Relationship is like a board exam that you have to endure all the reviews before you take it. All the nights longing for the day to be over, all the days waiting for the nights to dream again..hahaha.. Im one of them, but at this time I'm enjoying my days being single. A year or more God will send his man he prepared for me. No regrets only hope.
