Do you prefer the single life or the married life? email this discussion to a friend?

Trinidiva (9)   ranked 3,586 out of 23,322 in relationships5 months ago

I have never been married so my answer would be i prefer the single life simple because there is a lot of freedom attached to it..i mean you can go wherever you want and with whomever you want without have to anwer to a husband or wife.

I have a lot of friends who are married and i hear them complain that if they had to do it all again they would choose the single life. Those who said they would choose the married life indicated that they would do so because it adds meaning to their lives.

Which would you choose?

I just got out of a 5 year relationship. It was a horrible relationship. Before it I always prefered to be with someone. Now that i've wasted 5 years of myl ife and experienced all the things that came with it,I do not know if I ever want to be in a commited relationship again! I'm sure in the future my views will change, but I do not like the idea of going through all this again. Just like you, I want to be able to do the things I want to without having someone to asnwer too.

Well im single and sometimes i like it and other times i dont! It all depends on my mood. I get to where i dont want to be bother wit nobody. Then ill get lonely and wish i had a boyfriend or a friend i can date. When you commited to some one life change and thing become different. I think that people that is in that kind of relationship are trying to see if they are ready for marrying that person.

I prefer a married life.
I had a dream since I was a little girl that I would have a happy family with a lovable husband, cute children, a sweet house with a small garden and so on.
Being a single one is so hard for me.I'm a person who can't live without people.I want someone to love,to care about,to talk to,to play with,to do a lot of happy things.I need someone around me when I feel sad or in the bad situations that I can't stand alone.
So I prefer married life and I'm doing my best to realize it.

I believe that every little girl has a dream of finding their Knight in Shining Armor and living happily ever after and getting married. But for those who have had their hearts broken on more than one occassion there views on living happily ever after change.

You say you are a person who cant live without people but this does not always mean that you have to get married...if you have good friends then you would have all the support you need...some of them may just be a phone call away.

I would definitely, without a doubt choose the married life. I'm done fooling around like college kids I want to settle down and have a family and marriage life and starting my own family is the next thing on my mind after i graduate. I feel like the larger picture in life is to have a family and children and if you don't do so in life I feel like you haven't lived your life to the fullest. And those who choose to be single and perhaps single till they die will never get to enjoy the pleasures that married couples share. and if the bond is strong between married couples..they wouldn't even think twice about every looking back to single life.. at least that's how i see it..

I have been single for 23 years before I met my Mr. Right and got commited (Touch wood).....In my opinion, I prefer being committed to him, till death do us apart!
Now, this is because I was lucky enough to get a very understanding partner....Not for one moment, have we thought about our freedom being lost...We cherish every moment of these last 3 years ....and my vote is definitely for marriage based ion love and trust!!!

I've already chosen to be married - I feel that there are parts of being single that are appealing - independence, quiet time, the ability to go out whenever, etc., but by being married, I have companionship, a better financial footing, and I still have the ability to go out whenever I want - I'm just not dating/looking to date different guys.

I think people are just afraid of growing old alone. It also depends a lot on past relationships because who wants to get married knowing it will be a real drag?

both the lives has its advantages and disadvantages.i prefer single life as after the marriage man is bounded with his family,his work,his tensions.he has no freedom as he has it before the marriage.suppose a man earns 20000 rs in a month.before marriage he is only the person which he can spend all the money but after the marriage he has to think four to five times before spending

I definitely go for single life, as one can enjoy things on your own terms. Being a single you do not have look after your better half, you do not have to baby trouble, do what ever you feels good for you, no need to take views of better half, shop for self no need to company for her.


myLot reputation of 22/100. Jam1919 (121)   ranked 14,576 out of 23,322 in relationships  5 months ago

lots of single people still have "baby trouble" In fact its probably more trouble for those who are single and raising a kid on their own, I prefer single life until children are involved and then its good to be a "couple"... dont necessarily need marriage to do that, just another antiquated ritual that people cant let go of

Hi Trinidiva!

Had I not been pregnant, I would prefer being single. Me and my husband had so many differences in principle and belief that we had never a day in a week that we don't clash with each other. But when I start conceiving we both learned to compromise on many things that we became aware of the good side of a married life. Hope and pray that our little one will bind us more till the end... Happy mylotting!
