Awesome of Singlehood, Remind Me How Much Marriage Sucks

hi mythociate I am so glad you are a lover of singlehood as you have save any sane woman who might have fallen fore you from a life of doom and gloom.So we who have really had a happy marriage are idiots. fine I would rather be a happy married idiot than a dried up sour faced old bachelor telling everyone how wonderful single hood is. I am a widow now but have a great son and I had a great marriage for33 years. i hate to hear you malin all people who truly have great marriages. but malign away as you as I said have saved countless women from ever tangling up with you at all.So h ave a happy singlehood

Okay although mine was not the ideal type marriage I will not convey that it sucks at all! See marriage is what the two people make out of it. Perhaps like mine once upon a time ago I was the only one willing, and although I was left holding all the baggage that came with it. I do have to say that I will not shy away from it although at the current time no interested. So if you start out thinking it will s@ck then it will be evident it will. So unless you try it some day friend you will not know truly if it does or does not!

I was married once upon a time...and let me tell, I am happily UNMARRIED. I just got out of a seven year mess (well, let's just say it was a booty call) and I just got involved with someone new that I've realized that I don't WANT to marry. I love this new guy but I don't think I could ever consider being IN love with him--I've been in love twice and both men chose someone else. I don't think I'm prepared to get hurt like the last one ever again.

Dude... it sounds like you want to be married. If you want to be married, then start dating. There's nothing wrong with dating. (assuming you use wise dating methods, and have proper boundaries)

You really enjoy being single! I always prefered being alone and never dated someone I didn't really love. Now when I fall in love I really need to have him and have a life together. I think when there's the right person then we can be happy. The many unhappy marriage exist because people married too soon or had other reasons then love, where there's love and friendship it's a happy marriage.

I love being single and I enjoy every minute of it. However I wish to get married someday to the one person who can accept me at my worst. I have married friends who are very contented and fulfilled with their lives. I guess it's because they are mature enough when they enter the covenant of marriage.

It is one thing to be happy in your current relationship status, but it is another thing entirely for you have to bring down anyone who doesn't agree with you just to make you feel better about your own station. You have no need whatsoever to insult marriage or those who are married just to justify the fact that you can't get a woman to put up with you. First and foremost, you seem to think that people who are happily married somehow pretend that there is never any bad in the world. That's such a steaming pile of bull. Of COURSE there are bad times, it's called LIFE. Bad things are going to happen to you whether you're married or not. You're going to have responsibilities whether you're married or not. The only difference in being married is that there are two (or more) individual lives involved and everyone has their own pattern of ups and downs that effect the ups and downs within the relationship's dynamic. Secondly, marriage is not a "shackle". It's a stupid piece of paper, nothing more and nothing less. The dynamic and the commitment of the relationship come from the two people involved, not the label on the outside. I'm sorry you feel so bad about being single, but that's your problem to muddle through. You have no right attacking others to justify yourself.

You got that right! This is one of the biggest reason's I don't want to get amrried! I have seen way to many sucky marriages from my parents to people I work with! I rather see myself happy then be married and miserable! I bet more people have miserable marriages then good ones!LOL!

Hi myth, People get into marriage due to lack of foresight. When the heart gets the upper hand than the brain, the ability to reason falters and when one wake to the reality, separation is the only easy way out. It could have been avoided if one exercises due caution before plunging in to an otherwise happy relationship that could last a lifetime. This only adds credit to the line that only "fools fall in love." Being human beings with full faculties and intellect, it should not be so, or else, we go down to the level lower than us.
