Marry the wrong person, or remain single forever? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 81/100. reco13 (172)4 months ago

Do you believe that it is better to marry the wrong person than to remain single and lonely throughout life? For me, I don't believe this because it is less painful to be searching for an end to loneliness than to be embroiled in the emotional combat of a sour marriage.

I guess there are those who will prefer to marry the wrong person because of the threat of being an "old maid" but too often, this offers a one-way ticket to disaster.

I'd choose to remain single forever. I would hate being married to someone who I could never get along with.

I would remain single forever. I could never entertain the idea of getting married to the wrong person just to have someone. I would most likely feel trapped and helpless in the wrong marriage and hate every second. I would much rather be alone.

I would rather remain single than marrying the wrong person.If I am single the utmost factor that would be disturbing me would be my loneliness.I can get over with it by engaging in some activity or hanging out with my friends but if i married the wrong person i would regret it for the rest of my life and my life would be full of worries and arguments which i hate the most.I think a single peaceful life is better than a disturbing restless life..

Sometimes when you are married to the wrong person you are still lonely! So being single you can find ways to keep busy and not be lonely...like join mylot where there is always someone to talk to!

Being single doesn't necessarily mean that you're lonely. I know I wasn't lonely when I was single. I think more people should take the time to really learn who they are outside a relationship, learn what makes them happy and how they function as a single person and just be able to be happy with themselves. When you're happy with yourself as a single person you're generally more confident and confidence attracts people (both friends and those who are interested in a relationship). If your confidence attracts friends, then you will never be lonely. And if it attracts more, then you'll be even less lonely.

Oh dear, it would be sad to marry the wrong person. And for this reason, I'd rather stay single forever -- at least I have bigger chances of being happy.

iIam happily married now. But if I am still single and was given the two choices you have mentioned. I rather be single than being with the wrong guy. Marriage is not something that must be carefully evaluated. Getting married with the wrong person os just the same thing oof having an unsuccesful married life. So why take chance?

i will not marry someone just to tall anyone that i am married and that i will not alone when i get old coz there are too many married couples out there whose not happy and end up getting a divorce. being alone and be an old maid is a choice and not because you can't find someone to marry you for in fact there are too many but the problem is you didnt appreciated them. like me for example, at my age right now, a lot questioned me why im still single and stick with only 1 guy my whole life if i can find someone who will marry me for sure. it's bcoz i am happy and contented being with the guy i am with right now. and as long as we are happy then it doesnt matter if im married or not though im still hoping that we will going to get married too.

Well, I believe that we can't wait forever for THE person to appear in our lives. We reach a certain age in life whether we just have to decide to marry someone or not. But in case that persin is really wrong for you, it's best you keep single, but also keep looking and never lose the hope.

I would rather stay single than married a wrong person. I am completely aware that I only live once, so I would not waste my time in a life that full of of misery and sufferings. Life is a choice and so with destiny.

I already witnessed many marriages ended up in misery and chaos because of wrong motives in getting married, I never dreamed to be an addition to the statistics. After all, marriage does not guarantee any comfort and happiness.

There's a saying that goes: "You can be single but not lonely, you can be married but miserable". It is always wise to make a sensible decision to avoid disaster in the future.
