I feel you should really choose that answer yourself, but i would love to be married over being single. I would like to wake up in my lovers arms knowing that we would last forever more instead of waking up myself and being alone throughout the day. I would like someone with me to make me happy and laugh when i am about to cry. Have someone to do things with knowing they would be by my side no matter what it is. Choose wisely. It is your life.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 860 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

yes my friend I already have chosen an answer but want to know from individual
their choices on how they want to live there life if they are given
the chance to turn back time...life does not promise full of happiness
but even though I am willing to take that chance with the person
I choose to be with for the rest of my life. happy

Honestly I would prefer to married.. But I am not right now... lack of medical insurance if I was to get married right now.. But that is what I am use too... Got married when I was 17 and got divorced when I last September, wow its almost been a year.. True people have told me to not worry about it and not to push it, so I do not make the same mistakes that I did the first time around.. Well their is logic and there is the emotions of the heart.. Some base their decisions on one or the other; but when they are both the same.. The leap of faith is worth it..

Are you making the right decision to go to the next step my friend? Is this person the one that completes your life? The one that you want to wake up next to for the rest of time? Are you willing to accept her down falls, the way she is... and not just hope to change certain things about her over time?.. Believe me that does not happen, a person will only change if they are willing to do it for them self... Personal experience has taught me that; not something easy to accept but that is the truth.. Another question?? Is she willing to accept you for who you are, without trying to change who you are?

Granted marriage does change a person... With somethings it is like over night; like they say in the movies.. But other things may change over time with life.. A marriage takes work to keep it flowing; do not want to say it is a job.. that's not the right words.. but if you do not work on it each and every day, the two of you can start going in different directions; until one day you look at your partner and see a totally different person.. Open communication, honesty, and compassion is needed in every relationship, especially marriage..


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 860 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

I think you have grown into a very mature women my friend because of
your past experienced... they are right take your time I know you are ready
but wait for the right time coz this time I know you would not only use your heart
but also use your logic... I am happy to hear this from you and to read from your reply I know the next time around would be much sweeter..... wishing you all the best my friend. thumbup

Thank you very much

It is your choice as it is your life.
This is purely personal matter.
Nobody can force anybody to remain single or married.
It is your mental set up and your experience for some reason.
It is you who have to decide about this.
Whether you want to remain single or married - my best wishes.
What ever it may be - be happy.


myLot reputation of 87/100. sjvenden27 (543)   ranked 532 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

Thank you..yes I think it does have a lot to do with my past..

it depends on your priorities in life. if you enjoy being with friends often, well, partnered life is gonna be hard for you. im gonna show you tabbed reasons why you should pick that category so that you will be the one deciding for yourself. and just so u know, im currently single.haha

SINGLE-life benefits:
> no curfew (unless your parents set you one)
> no restrictions on your manner of clothing (unless youre conservative)
> can go wherever you want without asking for someone's permission
> you can date two dates on the same day
> you can flirt (these are for those who are naturally born flirts, i consider myself one)
> you can have more time for personal solitude
> you can gain more time with your family
> more time for yourself
> more time for personal development


MARRIED life benefits:

> you get to enjoy the comfort brought about by your partner as well as kids if you are gonna have a bunch
> you have a bestfriend and a lover in the form of your husband/wife.
> you have discipline, you are disciplined and you are disciplining you partner as well
> you have a partner to grow with you, physically, morally, psychologically and socially
> someone is there to hold you whenever your friends are out of reach
> you get to be more responsible
> you get to be selfless (it depends if you abuse that one)
> you get a discount from the government taxes coz ur married.haha
> you are secure because you know you are being loved by someone in a more special way

------------now these are just some of the most common benefits. as for me, currently im enjoying my life coz im independent. but of course, id like to be on that state someday where i am being comforted, loved and secured by someone. for now, married life is not my priority, but soon it will be.


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 860 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

yes you are right about those my friend w00tso funny though well for me
I could still have the benefit of a single person even if I am already married but
not all though it really depends on us, we are free but we choose not too for it is like an offering of devotion and loyalty towards our partner. If we want to be treated goo we have to treat them good too someday my friend someday or who knows it would be you first who is in line w00tto get married I mean w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. nehaagra (494)   ranked 2,779 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

So well written, i 'm really impressed. And i really like your attitude towards life, Happy as a bachelor, and can feel the happiness whenever you get married.

As for me, myself a happily married person, enjoyed my life as a bachelor, and even after marriage has all my freedom(as far as spouse is concerened, do neeed to take care of kids.... lol)

I prefer being married. Because at some point of time you will need someone who understands to you in and out, will be with you no matter what ever it the situation. With whom you can share your good and bad times. Of course family is always with you, but wife/husband is something different. In married life you need to adjust with your better half and that is good for the relationship, you make some adjustment in your nature and your better half will make some. There will be fights and quarrel between both sometimes, but that is also healthy for the relationship. But if you are bachelor, then I don't think you will be enjoying your life, you will only boost about enjoying, but something will be surely missing in life. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 860 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

yes my friend I know exactly what you mean even how happy I am with my present situation there is till something missing tried to figure out for soo long
and when I finally figured that out I was afraid of it at first but learn
to accept it day by day and now I know what I want really want what makes
my life complete and that path will be mine maybe not yet but someday. wub

5. myLot reputation of 94/100. neildc (3531)   ranked 866 out of 38,533 in life   6 months ago

hi helscream. i always want to be a happy family. without a partner in life and without kids, you can never consider yourself alone as a family. so my answer would be married life. when a person is married, complete with kids, one of the benefits of it is when you grow older, there will surely be at least one person who will always be at your side the attend to all your needs. but of course, we should always anticipate the fact that kids will also grew up and will eventually look or build their own family. to everyone whom i know that is planning to get married, i always tell them to be prepared. i am not telling not to get into married life but i say that it is so unpredictable and complicated to get into. i don't think love is the best answer for getting in to marriage, but i tell them, singles, if you have enough money, a regular income, then go on. i've been married for twenty years and i know how it takes having a family, a bigger family, with no enough money. especially in this crisis, everyone should think of it, just for practical reason, stay single if you are not ready... neil


myLot reputation of 97/100. HelScream (709)   ranked 860 out of 38,533 in life  6 months ago

Thats a good advice my friend, yes I know this thats why I am striving harder this time to think of a good way or good business that actually can support
and not only one but a lot of ideas are already popping into my head now coz of the need to be on the next level..... just need a little more time to realize all this.... thumbup

well best wishes to you my friend in the near future .... You will know when you are ready for the next stage.... hmmm it took me a long time to know and to finally decide the one and only one person that I would want to be for the rest of my life and I thought that I would never find her but I was taken by surprise when that day come that I dont want to live my life anymore far away from her,,, everything seemed meaningless without her and many things ...trust me it would just come need not to force it .... but my advice be ready when the time comes coz like me I was in total shock to realize all this and very happy at the same time all emotion mixed into one w00t that gives me hyper and everything tension excitement all emotions w00t
