You would.... have lots of one night stands? Enjoy being single? Do lots of traveling? Be bored to tears? Have you ever said the words "If I wasn't married..."? And what would you do, if you weren't?

If I wasn't married, I would hunt down the man of my dreams, Maynard Keenan :) I would turn the radio up louder. I would hardly ever turn the t.v. on. I would clean the house alot less. I would miss the heck out of my husband.

Messy house. Yes, I doubt I'd do any more dusting than I do now! LOL

Hmmm... let's see... I don't think I've really considered what would be different if I weren't married (even though I have been a single mom following a divorce -- but I was too busy most of the time to even realize I was single lol). I guess my living arrangements would be different. If I weren't married, I wouldn't live in as big of a house, probably a condo or an apartment and I might live in the city so I would be close to a lot of activities (like museums, movies, tourist-y type things to do). I might also participate in or attend more events because these things are all very expensive when you're a family of four... much more reasonable as a single person, I guess. Also, if I weren't married (and therefore didn't have kids), I would probably go back to the corporate world, rather than being an independent contractor working from my home office. My girls have been the defining factor in my doing this, as much as I love my work. If I were alone, I'd want to be out with other people in the workforce much more than I care to be right now :) Thanks for an interesting discussion, sylviekitty!

I've wondered this recently. Not because I don't want to be married, just wondered where my life would be. It's hard to know because anything could have happened. But... If I wasn't married I'd probably still be living near my family and friends, I'd have a job since I wouldn't have a baby to stay home and take care of, and I would enjoy being single but at the same time keep my eyes open for the right guy.

LOL If I wasn't married, I'd probably be living with family. I would definitely living back home, across the other side of the country.

I can't imagine not being married, it's a strange thought, and I don't think I've ever said 'if I wasn't married...' in going on 11 yrs of mariage. I think I'd be pretty unhappy to be honest, I love my husband dearly, and I also very much enjoy his companionship whether we're out seeing the world, or in the kitchen washing up. (Sorry, boring slushy answer eh!).

If I wasn't married, I'd be a lot more interested in knowing where Sting lives. Is that man ever SEXY.
