At one point or other, everyone of us needs a company. Someone whom we can love and care about. Someone who takes a little care of us too. But here in the western world, we are too much concerned about our freedom and carefree lives. This is where you can find most of the singles wondering around without a care in the world. Though being single comes with a lot of advantages, would you prefer to be a life-long single if given a choice?

No, I want a life partner. Actually I should have one at this time, but I don't. I want to have a kids of my own and someone to share my life with. I don't want to be a lone all my life, and even though marriage life will be very challenging, I believe I can go through it. happy Mylotting

Well said. The concept of marriage and having a family has got the human race so far. The mere existence of relations have kept us civil or else we would have been barbaric and never would have come out of stone age.

My answer is definitely no. in fact if given a choice I prefer I get married earlier. Now I’m married I don’t think I lost my freedom. I think now I’m freer than before. Also I got care and accompany in my life. Life is more interesting and colourful too.
I think being a single there are many pressures to face alone. It’s not good for personal development. When I was a single person I felt the world not safe, now I enjoy the stable and quiet life.

I agree with you. Being single has its own advantages but only to a certain point in your life. Everyone needs to settle down after that point with a loved one and enjoy the rest of their lives. I got this question in my mind when I saw so many of them just living their lives all alone even in their late 50's. In facg they didn't have any long lasting relationship till then. I guess, it doesn't really matter after some time whether you are alone or with someone. Its just about how comfortable you are with your life.

Firstly, I wonder why the "IF" given a choice. Surely everyone has that choice.
As someone who has been married to the same wonderful man for almost 50 years, I have have to say "No way!" As the mother of five wonderful children, now adult of course, I would have to say "No way!"
Marriage is wonderful. Of course there will be difficulties, but these are easily overcome when marriage is entered into with the right attitude.

Truly speaking sometimes i feel like i should have someone who will truly love me and make me his forever and give the most wanted love.But when i remeber my past or see other people in constant pain i prefer to stay like this alone forever, i think getting a bit of sadness is ok than to be sad forever of your life, because no one is true in life everyone just leaves you when they get their new paths or their motto is just over.

Life is full of ups and downs but surely there is someone who will be true to you and will be by your side in all of them.
